Yeah, there quite a few now. Hey San, Auctomatic and a lot in the summer round.
Thank you everyone for your responses :) I was worried about the visas, but I think I need to focus on the hacking instead..
Thanks for the response sharpshoot.
Would anyone know if there were any folks from India?
Buxfer are from India. I think they were on student visas initially but then switched to work visas.
YC's philosophy (from talking to everyone involved) seems to be if you good enough regardless of where you are apply. Visa complications are obviously a pain but if your get in you get in.
View3 are 2/3 Indian, I believe. Also on student visas at Stanford, if I recall correctly.
But, I understand getting a work visa can be challenging and time-consuming. Temporary for the 3 months might not be as big of a problem...Auctomatic came from England for YC and only stayed 90 days (with plans to return ASAP). Maybe Kulveer or Harj will chime in with what they had to go through to make it happen.
