My story and support for the Founders Visa

K9 Ventures

I hired my TA as my first employee and paid him $12.50 In my attempt to build credibility and recruit people for my little company, I had started the Pittsburgh Java Users Group (the PittJUG today has close to 500 members!). My second employee signed the H1-B petition on behalf of the company so that I could be hired by my own company!
