I should probably add that in my case all founders would be from outside US! So the problem is not only in getting visas for some of the founders but also incorporating in the US as I figure PG has no interest in 6% of a germany based company. The link I remember contained descriptions of both (visas and incorporating at the same time).

If you incorporate in the US you'll also need an EU based organization for legal purposes (since you'll have a "Betriebsstätte" in Germany) that can be a subsidiary of a Deleware C-Corp. That's why we decided to incorporate in UK since a Ltd. is a valid legal form EU-wide and leaves all of the incorporation documents in English, which is easier for investors to deal with.
