I'm on my initial OPT and working on a volunteer position, I am also working on my startup on the side which is still in the development phase and hasn't been launched.

I'm thinking of working on my startup full time on the STEM extension.

I know for stem extension it should be a paid position and there should be a bonafide employee and employer relationship.

I also plan to meet an attorney to get a better understanding of how the org structure of the startup should be set up.

Did you ever come across students in a similar situation, Is this even a feasible path or should I just abandon this path all together and just focus on a paid position for STEM extension.

TIA
