Roughly half a decade ago, a founder in Lahore asked me a question I still think about: can I start an American company without ever setting foot in America? The answer is yes, and the paperwork that makes it possible sits in a building most people never think about....
Fourteen thousand dollars. That was the first quote a Hyderabad family I know received for moving a three-bedroom flat to Texas, and it was roughly double what they eventually paid. Here's what bugged me about their story. Nobody lied to them. The expensive quote...
