Seeing a ton of people looking at O-1 agent filings, and wanted to flag some potential issues/ ideas. And yes, I’ll acknowledge it’s a little hypocritical of me as someone who has popularized this approach over the last two years. New administration, new problems ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looking to move to the US? Expand your company in America? Doing this cool event with the team at Carry in a few weeks. We’ll chat O-1s, company requirements, building credentials. We won’t talk about break-ins, trespassing, or how to climb a fence. Sign up here:

Killer opportunity for someone with ML experience looking to move to SF and build cool shit.
