Hey Peter, cool stuff here.

Quick question: can I start a company on an H-1B? Also, will my current employer own any part of it? (California based)

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure you can't.

Unfortunately, your H-1B is tied to your current employer so you would need an H-1B through your own company to work for it.
