Definitely viable! There's nothing to say you can't be a share-holder in a company - or a director of one you create yourself. You just can't be an employee without a work permit. (although if you incorporate overseas, I think you should be able to pay yourself through that and declare it as income earned overseas. I'm unclear on US law, but that seems universal in most countries I've lived.) I think you're in the ideal place to take a few of your ideas to market and see if you can gain traction. Good luck with it!
