I heard the U.S. govt recently extended OPT for 2.5 years. You should be able to work in a startup for at least that long. If you have contributed a lot to the startup's growth, hopefully they won't mind sponsoring you for a H1-B visa after that period.

Yes, they have but there are some conditions that have to be met before tehe 2.5 years apply. How do I find startups ? Most job search engines don't classify companies as such.
