Hi Peter,

What are the implications for a h1b holder join other startup at early stage as early member/cofounder? How much money the startup shall raise? What are implications when accepting offer at less compensation compared to earlier?

Thanks

The short answer, with some narrow exceptions, is that I wouldn't recommend joining until the H-1B petition is approved. But generally, the funding and overall operations of the startup are less important than the offered job duties and salary (ideally, it should be above a "Level 1 prevailing wage") and the individual's educational background.
