Ask HN: Do startups in the US sponsor fresh H1s? 
I am pretty much about to draw the curtains on my first startup (in Delhi, India) after trying out a bunch of stuff for over 2 years. I am quite sure that I am certainly not done with entrepreneurship and still am very eager to build my own successful company. However the next time, I want to do it right and with a better team around me.<p>I really think I can use some time at some successful/ funded startups. Ideally, I would now like to work for a startup in the US.<p>My questions:<p>1)Do startups in the US sponsor H1s at all? All I have is a valid business visa.<p>2) How important is a formal education in CS? While I have an engineering degree from a top school in India, but it is not in CS.<p>3) How do I make myself more appealing to startups?<p>My background: Prior to my founding my own startup, I worked for 6 years with big IT firms in ERP, writing largely procedural code.<p>Then at my startup, I picked up Ruby, RoR and fell in love with it. So, pretty much all of my programming knowledge has been self taught and I have no formal education in CS.
