Visa for Startup

What are the best ways to start a startup as a non-US resident? Some possible options (I am not sure about the validity of them all): - Get a CEO having a green card and register yourself with some other position? - Come to US with L1A visa to get green card quickly

Do you know how did top companies with non-US founders deal with this? (e.g: Stripe). As far as I know Stripe has Irish founders. Also, I think Romesh Wadhwani of Symphony Group completed PhD in US and later worked to get Symphony started.
