You can work for your own company on post completion OPT as well? I'm currently doing it on pre-OPT, but didn't know it was possible. Do you have the same "continous work requirement" as normal employment under post-completion OPT?

If by that you're referring to the rule that mandates you maintain minimal periods of unemployment; Yes.

Since you're running your own company, as long as you don't fire yourself you should fulfill this requirement.

The F-1 OPT status allows for upto 60 days of unemployment though. This means that means if you were to work a regular job, you still do have a little gaps of time in between switching jobs to search for a new job.
