Hi,

Was wondering if there are any SF investors with experience in funding international searchers in the U.S? Especifically, curious about learning about how to work around temporary visa, investor visa for both self funded and traditional SF model

Thanks a lot!
Jose

We've hired a couple of international searchers, but have worked with them through the H1B and green card process. Happy to discuss funding through an accelerator approach, but don't have any experience with the traditional or self funded model.

Worth exploring some of the talent visas like O1, EB1a and EB2 NIW for the searcher. We have had success working with entrepreneurs on these categories. No issues with ownership % like for the E2 visa.
