Director level jobs?

Hi all, I have been in all fields of financial industry  including investment banking, hedge fund and private equity for 25 years director level management experience ( strategy,  marketing, project management, financial management, human resource management, ...) in Iran as founder of my company, started from analyst and grew up to investment banking, M&A, Real Estate, Private Equity, Hedge Fund, ... also I have deep knowledge in AI, Cloud computing, blockchain, data science, Big data and linux server and datacenter admin, but because of corruption in Iranian economy I was broken. and started from zero with only my valuable experience during those years.

recently registered an investment banking company  in USA and planning to relocate to USA, 

my question is  that is it better to apply for an investment banking job or focus on fundraising for my company,

because I do not have effective network  in USA and I dont know which is better for me, 

Thanks in advance
