Questions we hear most
Delaware C-Corp or LLC?
If you will raise from US venture investors, Delaware C-Corp. If you will bootstrap or raise from friends and family, an LLC or S-Corp usually saves tax. We model both.
Do you work with our lawyer?
Yes. We coordinate with your corporate counsel on formation documents and option grants; we do not provide legal services ourselves.
