Where are you now? We are coming from Argentina so we have immigration challenges too. Does anybody know if it's legal for us to work on our startup in the US without having a work visa (if we aren't taking a salary) _after_ we incorporate in the US?

The silicon valley probably ain't a bad place to be but: - there is this thing called the Interweb that helps communicate efficiently from all over the world (I find amusing the idea that you have to be in a certain place in one country to work on Internet stuff; doesn't sound like "eating your own dogfood" if you ask me); - instead of all european entrepreneurs moving to the US, why not organize in Europe?

Spain is hugely bureaucratic and their social security system is insane for startup founders.
any need to interfere with their social security and bureaucracy being incorporated elsewhere?

> have to be PG never said "have to", he said you'll have better luck, everything else being equal. > complicated immigration issues. This is very true. It was even before 9/11 - search for Torvalds in this page: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9800E0DC1039F... > organize in Europe? That's where the problems start - where in Europe?
