Build the product. We handle the company.
Tech and SaaS founders need a Delaware C-Corp, founder vesting with 83(b), an option pool, SAFE issuance for early investors, and the ongoing operational infrastructure. We make it all happen on one platform.
Built around how tech / saas actually operate.
Three things you will not get from a generic formation site.
Delaware C-Corp by default
The structure every VC term sheet expects, with no rework when you raise.
SAFE + stock issuance templates
YC SAFE, equity grants, and 409A-ready stock issuance from day one.
Cap-table Carta export
No manual rebuild when you graduate from spreadsheet to Carta.
The stack every VC expects.
Pre-seed to Series A on autopilot.
Articles filed, 10M authorized shares, founder common stock issued with restricted-stock vesting agreements.
Filed within 30 days of stock issuance to lock in tax treatment.
Post-money YC standard or custom. Each SAFE recorded in cap table.
Authorize option pool. Grant ISOs with vesting. 409A via partner.
C-Corp foreign-qualifies in the new state. New-employer registration filed.
Cap table + SAFE docs + option grants + board consents + corporate records exported as one ZIP for investor counsel.
How customers like you use the platform.
"Switched off Carta when our cap table got expensive at seed. Three SAFEs and a Series A later, our lawyer said it was the cleanest cap table she had reviewed in months."
"Two of us founded the C-Corp from London. EIN in nine days, banking the next week. Closed pre-seed eight weeks after."
"I run finance for four pre-Series-A startups. All four are on this. One platform, one bill, every board meeting prep takes three hours instead of three days."
