I bet YCombinator must feel a bit strange having this as the highest voted story ;)


Not at all; we're not VCs. We just do seed funding. That is a very different world.


I asked few days ago if its possible for someone to get a green card if I got funded by YC. I read the reply that is not enough. From the US immigration web site they site is possible and on some other sites it sais that 500,000-1,000,000 dollars is required as investment for someone to get green card.

My question is, would you risk to accept someone for funding, and wait until he finds invenstors through you, so that he could use these money as invenstment and also get a green card?

The thread is not available so I thought asking you here...
