Is it possible to apply for O1 visa to create a US startup? What are the odds?

Yes. The odds depend almost entirely on the strength of the individual's background or more specifically whether he or she meets enough of the O-1 criteria. But the O-1 if oftentimes is in reach of founders because - I would argue - the O-1 criteria favor founders over non-founders.
