Hi, I'm a founder from a Brazilian startup (based in São Paulo) and we've been developing our product for 2 years now and are about to launch. We have another local round next year but then (1.5 to 2 years from now) we plan to raise money in the US - at that point I'm even willing to move there if it's advantageous or if the investors require so. At that point we'll probably open a company there and have it own all the equity from the Brazilian company. Now, if I needed to move, which visa should I apply (for an expected 5 year stay)? What's the likelihood of me getting it. Also, separately if (for example) I wanted to have 5 employees move with me, will they apply for the same visa and (also) how likely were they to get it. Finally, how can I reach you if we were to hire your service to help us at that instance? =) Thanks and sorry for the long question.

You could have multiple options which will depend on a variety of factors, such as your background and the backgrounds of your employees success of the company in Brazil and the US, including, most likely, the L-1 and the O-1 visas.
