Possibly grant resident status to anyone (with lot of money of course... after all, it's only the exceptional we are talking about here) who wants to fund and run a VC company? Because there are lots of great programmers who simply can't get funding.
I wonder how PG would feel about that?

Because there are lots of great programmers who simply can't get funding. That already exists in various forms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-2_visa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-2_visa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EB-5_visa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EB-5_visa I don't think PG would have any problems with that, because investing in startups is not a zero-sum game, which is one of the reasons why there are so many investors in the bay area. It's not like they seek out "investor free" territory, such as eastern Montana.
