    Check out supervisa.ai for Canadian options. What country were you born in, what countries do you have citizenship? H-1B is going to be super expensive for a pre-revenue company to…

    O-1 is generally a better visa for founders: 3 years, renewable over and over, path to a green card, no minimum salary, can come and go as you like. E-2 and L-1 also possibilities,…

    Take a look at the requirements for an O-1 and you can see if raising VC helps you. get.legalpad.io/legalpad-webinars-and-events E-2 visa and green cards are other popular routes.

    One way to do it: incorporate the company (Stripe Atlas), raise funding, apply for the O-1. Can smoothly move from H-1B to O-1 without leaving the country.I've helped a number of p…

    I didn't particularly love the last one, on Musk's "secret sauce," but the rest of the Musk series was absolutely fantastic. You could give it to someone that has never seen a car …

    I was just imagining an autopilot lane with cars flying into the city to pick up their owners. You could also have parking garages with a much higher capacity per sq. foot if all t…

    I was thinking more of something like "I'm drunk, so I'm going to voluntarily give my car control to take me home." Basically turning it into a driverless taxi. "No seatbelt, no ca…

    From what I've read in the Musk biography and elsewhere, he is involved in really really low level decisions, to the point that he's been labelled a "nano-manager." Surely he's not…
