Hey Peter, thanks for doing this :)

I'm on an O1, founder or a company and have slightly less than 50% onwernship.

I've been thinking of getting a green card. What's the best approach?

Not Peter, not owner of a US company. You might want to consider an EB1, as an O1 that's not that painful / unrealistic (Source: did it that route).

I'd need to know your background but the first option I would look at is the EB1A extraordinary ability route.

I have no degree, but have had a documentary made about my first startup in Canada + speak at conferences / meet-ups from time to time, have a couple of pieces of press and have a profitable business with a handful of employees

Sounds good. You might have a strong EB1A green card application.
