We're already bootstrapping a few different ideas/products - so we'll keep on that path. Our reason for applying to YC was not for the funding, but more for the mentors, networking and for the chance to be surrounded by more young like-min

Yes - this is where having a partner in the US is really helpful. My partner was able to setup our holding company, and I was able to work for it for a year and then go for my L1. We are then able to start smaller organizations in which V

I wouldn't say it's impossible to get a work visa - I've gotten TN1's before, and am currently on a L1-A with a few months left before my Green Card is finished. I received my L1-A 2 years ago when I was 22, now at the age of 24 it took ro

You can own a business on an H1-B visa - I would talk to an immigration lawyer if I were you. I'm in the states on an L1-A right now which allowed me to bypass the PERM process and qualify for my green card under the EB1 classification; th
