Jumping continents is a pain in the ass though. I did it when I was 21 (seemingly permanently, as 7 years later I'm still in Europe) ... it took months to pull it off, get everything lined up and so on.

If you want to get into American startup culture, well, then you should focus on what you need to get in legally and stay there. College degree, convenience marriage, student visa...
