This is an excellent hack if it holds up on the legal fronts! There might be constraints, which I have not seen called out yet, such as - a H1B visa holder having to be employed in their field of specialization, hence the H1B founder will need to startup in said field. But the constraints appear trivial in comparison to the problem being solved. This is exciting!

Not only that!. Companies that sponsor an H1B person need to "show" proof that they have attempted to hire a US person before they can turn to sponsor an in immigrant.
