Well H-1Bs are generally prohibited from doing any paid work outside their current employer. So it would be a miracle if that number was non-zero. But it's still not. Zenefits co-founder Laks Srini had to be hired as a database administrator on an H-1B so that he could leave his previous employer [1].
It seems unfair to say people on visa programs don't become entrepreneurs when, in most cases, they legally aren't allowed to.
