Great post.<p>Could you explain a little about the visa situation being an international founder. There is not much information about the issues faced by international founders and most advice comes down to "Contact a lawyer". It would be nice if you can share your experience.
I'm the author of the article. After being part of YC, I had a lot of things I wish I knew before doing it, from common mistakes to humble reminders. Specially being an "international founder".<p>Happy to answer any questions.
Oh god it's so cool to see Platzi in HN! (I learned a lot from you guys when it was mejorando.la).<p>Thanks for the post. Just wanted to say thanks for your work and how happy made me read about you guys.
That's really good advice. There is a few people I'll forward this too(it doesn't directly apply to me being in Japan but the advice in general does!).<p>Good luck with your project!
Do you think you could've done the YC program remotely via the Fellowship?<p>I've thought on applying but sometimes circumstances make it hard to been able to move there.<p>If you had joined the YC Fellowship instead, what do you think could've been different?<p>Also, kudos! and thanks for the advice.
Fantastic, a whole post with useful advice from minority founders and no mention of their (supposedly) disadvantage status. We need more of this and less of the bullshit about how badly minorities have it in SV.
Can someone summarize the content, and specifically point out the lessons? The only thing I'm getting from reading it is "we come from far away, that's why it was harder" (true story but doesn't really help others in this situation) and "YC is so great" (which may or may not be true, but also doesn't teach us anything). I don't find any lessons.
"How our courses work" jump link doesn't work.<p>s/Colaborate/Collaborate/g<p>Are you going to make all the courses yourself or are you considering paying third parties to make courses?
