One of the H1B visa requirements is a "employee-employer relationship," which means that a) someone has the authority to hire or fire you from your company, and b) the company should continue if you are fired (i.e. not go bankrupt, and other individuals can fill your function).

Does this imply that the investment firm will have greater power over the company than an immigrant founder?

Unshackled was built with this in mind and something we don't mess with. The founder is in control of value they create. You can learn more about this on our AMA on Wed :)

Looking forward to this AMA! Longtime admirer here. I'm a particular fan of your framing of US immigration law as an ancient "legal codebase." That's my approach too. Thanks for all you do.

If you have a board of directors, in your USCIS case, you can argument you have that relationship as board can fire a CEO.
