You should confirm with immigration lawyer but you can't work for yourself on h1b Visa so you really have no (legal) options.

All you can do is work on the side and lay a foundation for your future business.

But legally speaking you have to wait until you have a green card before you can quit your job and start your own comapany in US.

Thanks! That makes sense - and it's what I've been doing thus far (prove product-market fit and everything else will solve itself), but wanted to get a better sense of how that usually works out.

Specifically, I was wondering if there were avenues available if you're able to secure funding (i.e. At the end of an accelerator), not necessarily in the form of an H1B.
