I believe that it is possible to work for a tech employer on a H1B Visa, where the visa comes from a charitable / academic organisation offering to be your 'primary' employer, not requiring you to work full-time with them, and being willing to work with you to get the H1B through their process that is not subject to the lottery process / visa cap. You can then work most (but not all) of the time with a 'regular' employer that you find the normal way, on that H1B visa.
>>> I am SURE I saw some service that helps to orchestrate this, presumably unusual but not illegal, arrangement, with uncapped / no lottery organisations - do you know about this? Can it work? <<<
In practice I am sure it could work well to work part-time for a "institutions of higher education or related/affiliated nonprofit entities and nonprofit or governmental research organizations." and then most of the time for a regular (e.g. startup) employer.
