Hi Ivan,
(When do startups stop calling themselves startups?)
"It's a business that scales with bodies, with humans," said Karim Faris of Google Ventures, which invests in online coupon company WhaleShark Media. "I'm a technology investor, and I like businesses that scale with technology."
(When do startups stop calling themselves startups?)
Hopefully we can get more stories here on how to setup internationally distributed teams to maximize the chances of building scalable businesses.
I've been very happy with the opensource approaches to building effective online communitiies,...
There remains a need for a watering hole specifically for the startup community, so we'll launch the Minimum Viable Café at Blk71, featuring the Barista for a Day.

Slightly off-topic, I've heard of startups get around US work visa issues by acquiring their developer's company/business so they can do an inter-company transfer.
It sounds like you are saying the developer already has a company he/she is working for and has a US visa under that company so a purchase of the employing company allows the visa to be transferred instead of a new visa application being submitted. yes?
- Service company (either subsidiary or two companies unrelated except by shareholders/directors)- Independent company (invoices costs back and forth)- License/Franchise agreement
Ivan, was our discussion at HSG useful the other day around these options (where to put IP, how accounting happens and flexibility of options)? I could add it here, just have not had time to type it.
Juanita I'm wondering if these hacks can be applied to Singapore since you must know visa situation here better than I do. :)
What's the difference btw "unrelated service company except by shareholders" and "independent company"?
For the work permit are you just referring to any work visa or specifically the one called a Work Permit? Each type of work visa has its own individual requirements for application and approval. The Work Permit requires you have a ratio of local manpower to apply for one foreign manpower slot.
More details at MOM!
