Startups with non-US founders, by and large, probably don't experience the same level of pain with immigration as startups with US founders. That's because most startups with non-US founders aren't in the US and never have to deal with US immigration policies, which are reputedly the most troublesome in the world.

So I think Maciej's point stands: if you were funding companies that weren't in the US, you would be less likely to think immigration issues seemed to be the single biggest external source of pain for startups right now.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how you could have interpreted Maciej's comment so as to think that your response might make sense. Can you elucidate?
