Some quick search on this topic cheste.. i get immi link https://www.immi-usa.com/h1b-holder-start-business/ It says, yes H1 can start, but with caveats - " A board of directors, CEO, or similar entity has the power to hire, pay, and fire the beneficiary. Therefore, the nonimmigrant will be treated like an employee despite having ownership. The H1B holder is not the sole proprietor of the company" this is the sort of "flight risk" i was talking about.. you are not in control, will be an employee.. AFTER investing your amount ante - ika $ yegaresi, startup chesi em labham.. so you are not in control - neither on paper, nor in spirit - oorike Linkedin lo update cheskovali.. brahma satyam jagan-mithyä jivo brahmaiva näparah | ||

sure .. Visa and Investments are different.. when you are on H1 => you cant take a stake.. if otherwise, you can always go the proper route, and take stake, even be an EB5-Citizen .. this is my understanding... and i GUESS pullarao is not GC ? there are complications AFAIK.. if i may ask.. wats ur status, and how did you take a stake ? brahma satyam jagan-mithyä jivo brahmaiva näparah | ||

. I wonder why people often mix taxes and visa ? Visa is a status ..on H1b you have work with the employer who applied for your visa (petitioner) and can do whatever you want except (legal things)working for another employer without approval You don’t even need a US visa or even enter US to open a company in US or invest in US . I am proof | ||

fundas are simple .. for your simple Q like this ... incoming money is always Fine, esp with countries like India.. cos idea is to bolster the econ.. and also to ensure, this $ stays - tax, rent,employment bla bla.. momemt you want to withdraw this same $.. you are under strict radar .. now ur question for VC/pre-ipo stake.. is much more complicated.. i tried to explain the fundas i know.. you should delve deeper into the semantics.. H1 can invest ( assuming plain vanilla 1 salaried clean H1 ) in mkts, with income on 1099. So i can GUESS you can put chindi amounts in IPO too.. now pre-IPO you are talking about stake - its a different ballgame.. whats ur motive ? source of income ? remember Money Laundering rules are strict here in US more than India ( also the reason lotsof $ flows in for regulatory arbitrage ).. brahma satyam jagan-mithyä jivo brahmaiva näparah | ||

Thanks Hadoop & Bata. I must have confused. So 1M networth unte kaani we cannot invest in pre-ipo. But it can be 50-100Ks as well. But as bata said, controlling equity undali ante intha minimum edina undochu.. again it seems to be "risky". Ipudu Americans india lo FDI chestharu kada.. ala manam US lo cheyalema? | ||

Know only little in this area of investing in US, AFAIK - for a H1, its not possible to hold a "controlling" stake in a venture.. even if you end up doing a psuedo-VC setup, i guess it will be registered by 1-person ( GC ) who shows proof of his funds - that way you are not on the hook.. but then, legally, there is no "equity" that you have, so always a flight risk.. ee reason toh chala mandi jankutaru.. that said, i know of this "crowd-funding" sort of setup.. i donno much abt this at all.. on how they re-package the eventual Equity - i GUESS they will issue some instruments on behalf of the middle-crowd-funder.. ATB man.. brahma satyam jagan-mithyä jivo brahmaiva näparah | ||
