I'm not hearing unanimous support.
I am disappointed that investors that openly support a founder visa have not published a pitch on par with what they expect from founders pitching to them. You guys should be able to write better pitches than anyone, right? You have access to the best data, right?
I don't think anyone expects your first essay that brought this issue to light to be anything more than an essay. It was well written and I agree with the general idea. But that's not enough to "fund" the deal. Where is the hard data on these assertions that investors are missing out and if they had access to founders visas, what the return would be to the economy.
When it comes to IT startups, I think its a tough hurdle to show there would be net job creation. Its my understanding that most IT value propositions, if achieved, result in a net reduction of labor. I know that at least one aspect of the value proposition for every IT project I've ever worked on in 20 years was to reduce labor costs. This was true from $250M enterprise projects to $50K bootstrapped ones.
Although I'm not hearing unanimous support for the founders visa, those that are questioning it do seem to be pro-immigration in general. So if there is a stir in these quarters, what happens when this issue gets in front of Americans that think building a wall covering the entire Mexican border is a smart and achievable goal?
