Nice work! A "check on the spot" definitely helps validate the idea.

It sure does!

Congrats! Adam Rifkin can really make things happen. Definitely worth meeting and knowing him.

I knew of each of you separately and have long thought you are brilliant. (How YC passed on you I'll never know.)

I'm really happy to hear you're funded and going. Best of luck!

Are you a US citizen, or did you have to sort out work visas to make it happen?

Went on a B1 visa "to raise investment for StackVM", which took 15 minutes to get.

As a fellow EU citizen, I'm interested in this. Could you elaborate? Are you able to found or work at a start up in the U.S. with only a temporary visa?
