I don't think that the Founder's Visa is ruse. I think it's a not particularly well-thought-out idea that resonates with the start-up community because it seems to address some problems and, even-more, seems to validate the identity 'Founder' as something worthwhile.

I do think that start-ups provide something of worth to society. However, I think it's a problem when public policy starts to be about massaging some groups identity.
