This already exists in the EB-5 visa[0] assuming you start with .5 million funding. You get to stay forever too.

EB-5 visa requires $1 million funding. .5 million is for "Targeted Employment Area", which is basically area with bad economy, you really don't want to start a startup there.

The trouble is most startup founders don't have $500k lying around.
