What will happen after the 5 years stay ? Should the entrepreneur pack up and leave ? Why should an entrepreneur startup something when he/she is not sure about their residency in US. This rule says 'parole' & self petition, the residency path is not clear. And when it comes to residency, US immigration for skilled immigrants is so broken that you will regret applying for one.

5 years is more than enough time in startup land to either be a failure or at least modest success - startups are designed to grow quickly after all.

If you're on the success path then getting an O1 should be very straight forward, and then a EB1 greencard should also be easy.

If you're a failure, well - this isn't supposed to be a path to citizenship for people with failed businesses.
