The Founder Visa
20 hours ago
- Establish a new class of visa for startup founders, costing nothing, to increase the number of startups in the US.
- The biggest constraint on new US startups is not taxes or regulations, but preventing founders from entering the country.
- Letting 10,000 startup founders per year could create 2,500 new companies, boosting the economy and creating American jobs.
- Visa terms would prohibit founders from working for existing companies, only their own startups, so they don't take American jobs.
- Define a startup by market-based test: recognition from accredited startup investors, similar to university accreditation for student visas.
- This small immigration change could have a visible economic effect and costs practically nothing to implement.
