The Founder Visa
Having been through the hoops, I'd generally support this, but it's a tough sell in today's economy. Because there are <i>emotions</i> involved.<p>There are already similar visas (EB-5 and E-1). Especially the E-1 category is very close and could easily be amended to fit Paul's ideas (I used the E-1 as co-founder of my previous startup, EVE).<p>One issue that needs to be addressed: you are not likely to get funding until you move here. But if the visa gives you a grace period (say 6 months) to move first before you get funding, then it will be abused.
