I suspect you're being downvoted by people who know what a huge amount of time and effort it actually takes to immigrate to the US.

There's also the minor technicality that USCIS won't let you in the country with only a one way ticket.

Well in may case one way ticket was idiom of course. Get return ticket with open date, whatever. What i meant to say is that the world is open to smart entrepreneurs. Its rare talent thats welcomed everywhere. If you sure that on some reason you cant do something in Manchester there is nothing to stop you from moving to anywhere from China to US.

Problems with US "immigration" for entrepreneurs are mostly overrated. In fact most of entreps dont need to immigrate until they "make it".

Been there. Done that.

If you really want - you can do that rather simply after making some research online. Not talking about getting citizenship or green card here(although its also quite double). Especially if you are from UK. So to me its a weak excuse, sorry.

PS: Proof - even YC accept foreign teams without any hassle.

There is no I in team and having said that I'm having a very, very hard time in finding team members to work with.

Emphasis on Salford. There are places in UK that are viable for startups but Salford is just not one of them. The issue here is that I don't have enough money to move yet, so it's not entirely a weak excuse.
