For the hiring/visa issue, would a solution, say if two of their hires were from the EU, start a company in an EU country, employ them with said company, and then have the US company "contract" the EU company for their part of the work?

I've done the opposite: Launch a Canadian subsidiary from Europe, then employ myself at the subsidiary. That worked but it is a pretty roundabout way.

If you can qualify under some program that is less difficult then I would definitely not advise this route.
