+1 on this question...I can't see why they wouldn't allow it though.

We are currently focused on startups in the states but definitely sign up if your team is talented. We do get approached with quality gigs both in the states and overseas.

I think the real question is, does the startup have to be registered in the US?

For instance, I live in Jamaica, but my startup is registered in Delaware (with a full blown US presence - bank account and all).

Would I 'qualify' given that I could be considered remote (i.e. use Skype and communicate via email)?

I can understand why you would want the Projects to be US-based (quite frankly, that's what I am looking for), but I don't see why the team would have to be US-based.

A concern employers have with teams outside the US is the time-zone mismatch. Because Jamaica doesn't have this issue, and your company is registered in Delaware, definitely sign up.

Done.

My company name is in my profile.

Let's see what happens.
