Investigated

Work at Y Combinator? Know someone who does?
Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside Y Combinator can change that.
Tips for advocating
- Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
- Reference the lifted sanctions.
- Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.
