I'm a bit confused here. Does one have to be in the US and start a company to be provided with a parole status as per this rule? Or all of the requirements that are listed here need to be done while being outside the United States after which a parole will be granted if the requirements are met.

You can meet the requirements in the country on the B-1 business tourist visa, visa waiver, or OPT status as an F-1 holder, but to activate parole, you need to do so outside the country.

IANAL
