You can transfer your H1b to them and work on your thing.

How are the requirements for salary are taken care of? H1b employee must be paid market rate salary (not in stocks but actual cash)

There's investment. From the website: "Unshackled takes 5% common stock + invests up to $160,000 as a convertible note to help catalyze progress."

Yeah. Their investment comes in the form of a salary.

I don't know the details for H1b's specifically but I can tell you that they haven't had trouble meeting visa requirements for people in the program.

With $160k you can get a E2 visa

E2's have to be financed by citizens of your country of origin. http://startupimmigrationattorney.com/e2-visa-for-startups-p...

Thanks for the info.
