I'm not a lawyer, but have gone through the E2 visa process. A few things: - The money brought into the US must(?) be your own personal money that you invest into the company, ie no debt or investments from other people into the corporation. - Your co-founder will have to own 51% or more of the company - The money invested should be roughly half spent before applying for the visa.
