Stripe Atlas (Pre-Launch) - A new way to start an internet business anywhere

This is an incredible service to offer-well thought out end-to-end, giving entrepreneurs a real head start on getting their ducks in a row

@sch How soon before other structures are offered like LLC. The only point of friction I see in adopting this for a newly formed startup is the tax and legal obligations related to C-Corp

While large corporations are using tax inversions to lower their tax bills, Atlas is making it easier for small international businesses to incorporate and do business in the US. Interesting world!

So many businesses need this type of deployment/turnkey/onboarding to the startup scene... this is a huge enablement tool and I'm happy to see it here. We're about to see an even bigger explosion of startups with resources like this under one seamless roof. Thanks for putting this together.

Always a pain point on new business entities. And most of the "we set up a corporation for you" people were pretty shady. I'm interested in how this'll fit in the US "know your customer" rules though for folks out of the country. I'll be interested in seeing where this goes. Other corporate forms, other countries.

Quick UX feedback on your site-- Either add a more solid color to the CTAs or at least give them a new state on hover. Make it easier for users to click on them and you'll likely see better returns.

This is great! We at BitCorps are trying to solve a similar problem with a different approach.

I started my first business at 16 - a clothing line distributed exclusively online. My biggest challenges revolved around incorporation, setting up an bank account, getting a federal tax ID, etc, etc. Love that Stripe has provided such an excellent resource to not only expedite the initial formation process, but educate novices as well. Good enough reason for users to become Stripe loyalists!

Everything about Stripe simply makes it, in my opinion, the absolute best tech startup, both in product and in business model, in a very, very long time. I don't think Unicorn quite fully describes it; it's more or less becoming a foundational utility for business online. Stripe Atlas really helps to solidify this. It's going to level the playing field for bright minds and talent all around the world to take part in the US's unparalleled climate for innovation and entrepreneurship.

Amazing ! Can't wait !
