Stay in OPT as long as you can. You get more flexibility that way. Try getting the 17 month (I think) extension.
You need to start working at a company with no more than total 90 days of unemployment between jobs. Also, the 17 month extension works only if the company is enrolled in everify.
The e-verify process is very easy and if you have incorporated your startup you can go ahead and do the e-verification yourself. Keep in mind that you are employee of your own company, so as long as the company is registered you should not have the 90 day unemployment problem.

I can confirm a friend incorporated and did the e-verification themselves and indeed did not have the 90 day unemployment problem.
