Hi Peter,

I'm the CEO of my startup. It's based out of Canada. We're doing about $8K per month from our clients in the US (for the last 1.5 years).

I would like to move to the USA. Is the best option an E-1 visa (Treaty Traders Visa). E-2 Visa wouldn't work because I over $100K at risk in the US.

Would you recommend I search out for legal council and have them take care of the paperwork or is it straight forward enough where I can do it myself?

I definitely would recommend consulting with an attorney to determine the best path and then depending on the path, you may or may not need an attorney to execute. It's hard to tell based on your description but the likely options are the E-2 (or E-1 if the company is involved in trade between the U.S. and Canada), the O-1, and the L-1.
