A distinction must be drawn between working during a startup program, which requires a work visa, and attending the program and not working. For the latter, there are several options, including, most commonly, the B-1 visa/status.
Out of curiosity, what percentage of YC founders just go to the office hours and dinner and not work for the duration of the program? Is this encouraged?
I can't comment on that but the issue here is what constitutes work and actively participating in YC doesn't even if this participation results in benefit to a company.
Participating in YC isn't work? Isn't it a startup accelerator for teams to grow their business? Isn't growing one's business work?
