I am looking for a technical co-founder, either based out of bay area or India. I have a business background. Doing whatever it takes to make things happen, is something I consider as my strength. Currently, I'm the only founder, and have built a basic working prototype with the help of hacker friends (who cannot join the team full time right now).
The app is about leveraging our social graph. The idea has been validated, and I'm planning to test out the app with real users in a month's time - currently some bug fixing is being done. I'm also planning to apply for YC October batch.
I'm looking for a hacker who shares the entrepreneurial passion, is ready to work hard and do whatever it takes to build a successful startup, is open to ideas, has a sense of humor and an appetite for the early stage pre-funded startup roller-coaster ride. Also, someone who has experience building a consumer / social app from scratch - even if it's a fun side project, but having built something from grounds up is a huge plus. Being able to communicate, set right expectations and meet them is important.
Like gojomo said, you should definitely get external legal counsel, who has your best interest in mind. Also, the value of your startups assets are worth the investment.
So can a non- US citizen / non-Green card holder start a company in US? Or are you only referring to opening a branch / US office of a foreign company?
