IANAL, but I don't see any legal possibilities here. As long as he is on US soil, he can't work for any company other than the H1B sponsor. I've never heard of H1B "co-sponsorship"; it's usually a one-to-one relationship. The only way I see is to fully transfer the H1B to the startup.
Depending on which country he's from and how much money he brings to the table, an E2 visa might be an option. He would have to own at least 50% of the company though.
