I guess I shouldn't have expected more from a VC. You guys just care about getting the job done the cheapest way. How come every VC out there is b*tching about H1B and not one CEO has really complained about it. I will make you a deal, why don't you work for $70,000 and put your kids in public school and lets see if you are still on your high horse. Second deal: GET OUT OF AMERICA!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12858245.post-17594940602757764802007-04-29T17:43:00.000-07:002007-04-29T17:43:00.000-07:00At first I would have disagreed with you regarding...At first I would have disagreed with you regarding H1-Bs but upon further reflection our prototype for the first start-up I began "never" would have worked without the brainpower of the engineers I had working for me that weren't American. <BR/><BR/>My engineers were fearless and motivated and they didn't make excuses.<BR/><BR/>Thana from Thailand was crucial to the success of the prototype working and the hardware engineering. He had to leave America before the prototype worked because I couldn't sponsor his H1-B Visa and he couldn't find a job.<BR/><BR/>We're still seeking funding but we do have a working prototype (that can program VCRs from a computer without using IR thanks to his engineering and a few other devoted engineers including Venkat from India. Other engineers contributed too but they are American citizens fresh out of college.<BR/><BR/>It's a touchy issue because hiring and sponsoring an H1-B Visa means an American won't get the job. <BR/><BR/>The strange aftereffect now is that all of the engineering for my company Big Bear will be outsourced to Bangalore, India to cut costs and no engineer will actually be done in America.<BR/><BR/>http://siliconvalleystartupjournal.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>Blake Southwood<BR/>Founder of Big Bear and Brontosaurus SoftwareWeasel1https://www.blogger.com/profile/13238387980466837156noreply@blogger.com
