"Given that it's impossible to produce more senior developers in a 1-2 year timeframe, what alternatives do people suggest to immigration?"

Don't limit yourself to local candidates. Especially somewhere like NYC.

You, likely, couldn't offer me enough money to move/live there...especially for an early stage startup.

For many roles we're very open to hiring remote developers. Even that is rather challenging. (Though for lead roles, we do ask that you be based in NYC because it involves a lot of brainstorming with writers/analysts.)
