FAQ

Common Questions

Why Delaware instead of my home state?
Delaware is the gold standard for venture-backed startups, with specialized courts and well-established corporate law. Even if you're based elsewhere, you can incorporate in Delaware.
How does founder vesting work?
Standard vesting is 4 years with a 1-year cliff. This protects all founders if someone leaves early.
What if we already started working together?
No problem. We make sure all IP created before incorporation is properly assigned, and backdate vesting if appropriate.
Do I need a lawyer to incorporate?
You can file yourself, but you'll likely miss critical documents investors expect. Fixing issues later costs far more than doing it right the first time.
What happens after incorporation?
You'll need an EIN, a business bank account, and to maintain corporate records. We provide guidance on all of it.
