Y Combinator invests $150k in a large number of startups twice a year.
YC has many founders who are not US citizens and do not have a US visa when they apply.
The most common option for founders without a US visa is a B-1 visa, which is a temporary business visa.
YC has experience helping founders obtain the B-1 visa.
It is rarely an issue to get the B-1 visa for the three to four months spent in YC.
The visa will not be a problem for non-American founders interested in doing YC.
