I have a g-4 visa as a dependent and I'm afraid that many startups won't be seeing my EAD as a competitive candidate for employment.

What do you think about this kind of employment and is there a fast way to earn a green card in my situation?

Your EAD allows you to work at any job. You're in a much better place compared to anyone who needs sponsorship.

There's no particular difference between a person having G-4 status and any other person in nonimmigrant status when it comes to green card sponsorship. It's just as easy, and just as difficult.
