What would your advice be to a current TN/H1B holder who may wish to apply to YC in the future, but is concerned regarding the restrictions of their current status restriction around "work" outside of their current employer.

To clarify, it seems that any sort of MVP, attempting to show traction, etc could be considered "employment", and thus a violation of current status.




Admittedly, it's a tough balance but there are ways to do this without crossing the line. I can talk offline with you about this but the main line not to cross is compensation.


I don't quite understand what is meant by "not to cross is compensation"


Don’t pay yourself and it’s easier to say you are not employed.
