Hi Peter,

Thanks for the AMA!

For a Dutch citizen, is it possible for me to work in tech for a YC startup? How difficult is it to get an H1 and what is the best route to go about this?

Yes, as a general rule, it's possible and the likely options would be the H-1B, O-1, or E-2. The problem with the H-1B route is that H-1B petitions are placed in an annual lottery with a 30% chance or so of being selected.
