While we're on the topic of conferences that target a specific slice, does anyone know if there's something like an Immigrant Founders Conference? That sounds like another demographic that has huge potential and could use some pretty specific kinds of help.
However, I understand they may have lots of things in common that are specific for this group.

Joking! As an immigrant founder, I can think of a couple of key issues may have been different for me than a resident founder: immigration laws and their impact on startups (obviously) and to some degree, context - understanding customers well, even when you did not grow up in the same context as them.

we'd already been planning this event before that article.

Are immigrants underrepresented in this community? My guess would be just the opposite. However, I understand they may have lots of things in common that are specific for this group.
Shouldn't it be called X Combinator? :)
It's also interesting to know whether transwomen will be allowed. Some radical feminists only accept 'born as women' to their conferences. And if transwomen are accepted, what's their definition of that.
