Thanks for the AMA Peter. Planning an O-1 to move to SF and start a startup. Can I run paid internships to support myself in the early days (before the pre-seed)?

You would need work authorization to take on paid internships - and there's almost certainly no work authorization option available. There have been and will be changes to the J-1 program so depending on your area of expertise and background, the J-1 might be an option but there would be complications with this if your plan is to remain in the U.S. after the J-1 internship.
