Ask HN: Starting a company in valley as Canadian citizen

1 pointeaglehead3 comments

Looking for some experiences of folks who came to silicon valley (or US) on TN visa and then ended up starting a company. How did the experience go, what would you change if you were to do it now, and, how did you handle health insurance at early stage?

For context: I have a wife and 2 kids as well, not sure if that complicates things.

Starting a company while still continuing on TN Visa? AFAIK I don't think you can start a company on TN Visa or be self-employed.ie., start a company and work in it. You may have to try E2 or other visa category.

What is "valley" is this referencing the Silicon Valley?

Yes, apologies for not clarifying that in the post.
