I will own most of the shares maybe about 40%. I hear I have to work under someone but how would that work if I am the majority and will be the CEO of the company. If we put board of directors can they be my partners?
Hello. You can own the company, but you cannot work there without the proper work authorization. Thus, you will need OPT, an H1b or an E2 (if you qualify for these visas). Here is some additional information on these:

I would need more information about your nationality, the other owners, the amount you are investing, etc. to better advise you. Your resume is also helpful in my review.
