General VC Questions

What are the visa options for a Singaporean on H1B to set up and work full-time in a US fund?

Hi all I've a question I'm really hoping someone can help me with. I'm an international person in the US (singaporean) previously on a student F1 visa. I recently took a consulting gig to get a work visa and am now on H1B. What are the options to be able to set up the fund and work under the fund as my full time job? My understanding is that neither H1B nor E2 visa apply to a fund. Is this true? If so what are the alternative options?

Decile Launch does not cover US visa options. Your best bet is to hire a good immigration attorney. With that said, I am sure that there are some people in the community that can share some of their experiences. From a logistics standpoint, anyone can set up a Delaware based fund subject to KYC and AML requirements.
