IANAL, so this is based on my limited research trying to hire a student I know...

Legally, you can't work while on a student visa in the US. Unless you can somehow get your school to sign off on it as relevant to your degree. Your best bet is probably to just launch in your home country, even remotely if necessary.

If you're still a student, absent any other information about your skillset, I doubt you'll be able to get anywhere with an O-1. If your home country is in North America, you may be able to find a NAFTA-related visa although I can't remember the details on those.
