Starting a business on F1

I have a really great idea, have built a product, and want to start my own business. I've started pitching to investors, and am getting a lot of interest already. Unfortunately, I'm a student on an F1 visa, still enrolled at a school. How do I go about building and working for my company in a reasonable way?

I've looked at the O-1, H1B, EB-5, L-1 options and so far the O-1 and EB-5 options look most promising, unfortunately I don't have $500K to invest - so for now, the EB-5 is out and so I'm left with the O-1.

Does anyone have any experience with this entire process?
