I posted my email in an old discussion about non-americans wanting to apply to Y Combinator. I got more than 10 emails so there seems to be a lot of people with questions about this.
There are a couple of groups in previous Y Combinator programs with one or more international founders, and I'm one of them.
Getting a real work-VISA to the US when you are 22 is virtually impossible, but should it stop you from applying? I don't think so.
Let's keep this thread open for VISA discussion. I'm happy to share my experience and knowledge
I think that's a good suggestion. You can even apply for a longer tourist-visa if you give them a good reason. The main downside is that wont be able to earn money directly from your US corporation
I think you can't pay salary. What about expenses? I think if it's profitable (won't that be nice in the 1st 3 months) one can always pay dividends to shareholders.
