Not an expert... but foreign investments require extra paperwork and tax for you at a minimum.

If it was me, I'd keep everything under the US system until you're profitable enough to hire an expert and not ask on HN.

Also if you're going to raise investment, I would stick to the USA.

You might get into legal or hiring issues if you only get contractors though.

I disagree. I think that HN is a fantastic online forum to ask questions about and talk about issues that concern startups.
