For founders that have non-citizen employees: What is the best approach for assessing the risk that Trump's travel ban and/or immigration restrictions will affect your team? How much should one worry about the team's dependents (spouse, kids, parents) either because your team member is affected, or because they are independently affected? (eg, a US citizen employee is married to a non-citizen.) What are the key risks of new policies? If we have folks on different kinds of visas, are some "safer" than others? Any guidelines that founders should put in place in order to avoid risks created by new policies?
Thanks for help, there is a lot of FUD on this topic.
Lisa is correct - the comment was pragmatic, not didactic. I don't know the actual median age of the YC applicant pool, but in my own anecdotal and unscientific experience (e.g., who have I met in person at events, or heard a pitch from) the median YC participant is around 23, and has yet to develop the familiarity with pitching that comes from years in the industry. Also, if program awareness comes from social networking or from university outreach, I'd expect a dominant concentration of 20-somethings in the pool.
