I see tunnels as a key feature, but you know this - I've been talking about tunnels on browserling for ages :) Glad you raised money and very happy that the H&F family made it happen for you. Looking forward to you being back in the Bay Area.

I'll announce tunnels in my next blog post! They are already live (the ssh icon on the right, when you use Browserling) but I haven't announced them anywhere, so almost no one knows about them!

See you soon in the Bay Area!

Congrats Peteris and James! I've had a lot of fun watching the progress of Browserling through interacting with it. And congrats to Jonathan and Laura too!

Jonathan and Laura took us to dinners when we were almost out of money and hungry! They are truly the kindest people I have ever met.

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?

You're allowed to found a company in the US - just not work for it nor be paid by it. The B1 is a 3-6 month visa, most people just use the visa waiver program.

Surely you can get paid by your own company? Do you mean you can't become an employee for it?

You cannot work for an American company

I just did five minutes ago, and the invoice was paid two minutes ago, so you clearly can. Perhaps you mean you can't become an employee of one?

I really love your service, however, I'm not a fan of the design (seems cartoonish). Was this just the design aspect you were going for or are you seeking a redesign in the near future?

We like the design! We're not looking for a redesign.

Do you live in the US?
