You don't know what you're talking about.

Immigration costs close to $10-15K if it's a real move. Without a US credit history, you're going to have to put down a lot of deposits just to get basic things done like getting a credit card.



Maybe I don't. But what about founders before 2010? There are plenty of companies that succeed without being based in the US. Is spending almost 20% of your business runway on immigration worth it?
