Incredible that they were able to predict areas of the brain that would light up.

It's the impact of mobile.

I'm wondering how Atlas compares to Clerky. You mentioned 83b forms, default allocations, and foreign entity registration... Anything else to consider?

You could compare the clerkly offerings https://www.clerky.com/offerings to the currently beta stripe offerings https://stripe.com/atlas/faq#What-documents-will-be-created

Both systems are ways to get you bootstrapped as quickly as possible, but you should always lawyer up to verify the rest. The clerkly offerings go a bit deeper into employment/contracts, and Stripe could actually knock those out too by adding just a few more template forms over the next few months.

(not affiliated with either, just keeping up with the quickest/easiest/legalist ways to start organizations as hassle free as possible)

In terms of the startup incorporation, how does this compare to Clerky? As a pre-incorporation startup based in CA, which is preferable?

This is really optimized for startups outside of the US, which often have trouble setting up US bank accounts (and thus using Stripe). As a result, the legal side of things gets you far enough to do that - but doesn't cover the whole company formation process like we do.

Thanks. Would be awesome if Clerky and Stripe combined forces to provide a one-stop shop for US startups for incorporation docs and setting up bank accounts.

You are right, but this is Hacker News, where technical intelligence is high and cultural intelligence scarily scarce.

Just want to say that we're a very happy Amplitude customer and have been since early on.

Cool product, but how big is the market?

That sucks. They shouldn't have such a "policy" in the first place, and not to publish it is ethically untenable.

Looking forward to reading this!

I've been on the lookout for "The Great American Internet Novel" for many years. Eggers' The Circle was crap.

The key point is that it's an _unauthorized_ integration.
