Ask HN: Starting a company in valley as Canadian citizen

1 points by eaglehead ↗ HN
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.

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

Yes, apologies for not clarifying that in the post.

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.
