I’m a cofounder of a startup in the US. Two of us are here on green cards, but our third cofounder is based in Switzerland. He has a PhD from a top university, previously founded a company, and has raised over $30M in the past.
At what stage would it be possible for us to bring him to the US on a visa? Would it be:
- As soon as we incorporate a C Corp?
- After raising funding?
- Once we have revenue?
Are there any specific visa pathways (O-1, L-1, E-2, etc.) that would be most relevant for him, given his background?
This should be an easy O-1 and you should kick off that process after you have incorporated the company (and done a few other easy company-related things).

Appreciate any guidance on this!
