I'm currently on an H1-B and I'm considering exploring a startup idea. My research suggests that I could do a concurrent H1-B but what I'm not so sure about is the prevailing wage. Is it possible to get a concurrent H1-B for say 5 hours a week so that I can actually afford to pay myself as the govt. requires?

Yes, a concurrent part-time H-1B can be for as little as 5 hours per week. But there's the issue of getting it, since founder H-1Bs can be challenging.
