1:11Can You Apply to YC Before You Have a US Visa?
Jared Friedman explains that founders can apply to and participate in Y Combinator without already having a U.S. visa. He says a B-1 temporary business visa is the most common option for founders in this situation and is generally easy to obtain. YC has experience helping founders secure B-1 visas for the three to four months they spend in the program. He reassures non-American founders that visa concerns are unlikely to prevent them from doing YC.
