$50K is peanuts for a business that is growing. It's the cost of employing an engineer for 4 months.

Honestly if a business isn't planning on investing $50K, why would the US want it?

Start your internet business outside the US, than apply for E-2 telling you want to move your business to Silicon Valley.

Also hire an immigration lawyer. You are hiring engineers to hack code, you hire lawyers to hack the law.

I'm a European and I intent to do exactly this.
