When I launched, I used Stripe Atlas - this made incorporating a BREEZE. However, I did not realize at the time what it meant to structure a board, what it meant to register as a 'foreign entity' in a state, what to do with bookkeeping when there is no revenue, the right time to talk to an accountant, the right time to talk to an attorney. So I have been more or less figuring it out as I go and the unfortunate aspect is sometimes it can lead to an "uh oh" moment when it involves the State or Federal stuffs like taxes, etc.

1. So, how did I come up with the idea for this product?
It's simple: first, I failed 3-4 startups in a row. The main reason was that I was building products that people didn't need. Then I stepped back to reflect and learn from my mistakes. During this reflection, I came across a series of essays by Paul Graham (the founder of Y Combinator) about how to build startups, starting with the search for ideas. I realized that the entire focus should not be on startup ideas , but on the problems that can become the foundation for a startup. And that's how the idea for ProblemHunt came about a place to find unsolved problems that people are willing to pay to have solved.
