What about co-founders who are H1B's and would face legal consequences for quiting their company?
An H1-B doesn't prevent you from switching jobs, no?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They're made to look bad by how easy it is to apply. If you make a website offering people money if they fill out a form, a lot of people will fill it out. But the odds for a good team are not as bad as they might seem. At least a third of the applications are egregiously broken: 13 year old founders, people who want to "telecommute" from India, people who want us to fund their plumbing supply store, etc...
Thanks for that clarification - the odds are getting a bit better :) . I'm curious: how many teams were interviewed in person to arrive at the final 20?

it does for my potential co-founder. He's been working here for over 6 years with no GC. apparently you can't renew your H1B after X years, only stay with the same company.

I dont think there's any point in my applying again - am likely on PG's blacklist. :D
Welcome to the club. :) You'd get an email if you were on the official blacklist, though.
(Just looked at your bio: "importing and selling unique herbal substances").

why?
They are looking for child prodigies who fit a certain mold.
People who walk, talk, think and perform a certain way.
It is more like the Iron Curtain coaches who ran schools and would look for potential gymnasts for the next Olympics.

Those are impressively bad odds for being accepted.
