Green Card/ Visa for New Business/investment In USA, anyone know the reqiuirements?

Hi I know there is a Green card / Visa for opening/investing in a new Business in America that foreigners can get. I knew these requirements from 7 years ago and It used to be something like this, have $50k in a US bank account untouched for several months that is specifically to open the business with and you must have already obtained or leased business premises. The business must turn over several million dollars within 5 years to get a full residency status. I knew of a Canadian who opened up a company growing palm trees in Arizona who did it this way. Anyone who knows the process please let me know. Thanks
