I don't know their story, but I imagine that they took similar route as others: - start on ESTA or B1/B2 - switch to E2 - once successful-ish go for O-1 Actually these days there are lawyers specialized on obtaining O-1 in a pretty short period of time (3-5 weeks) for founders that get into incubators or raise >$300k.

Working on ESTA or B1/B2 would actually be considered "working without authorization" as neither permits gainful employment or self-employment (incl. remote/contract work). The O-1 seems more plausible. You do have to be very impressive to get an O-1, but raising $300k in funding probably qualifies you.
