Stripe Atlas

Stripe Atlas is a startup incorporation service that enables entrepreneurs anywhere in the world to form a Delaware C Corporation or LLC, obtain a US tax ID, set up a US bank account, and activate Stripe payment processing in a single streamlined workflow. Designed specifically for technology startups and internet businesses, Atlas removes the complexity of US business formation by handling all paperwork, state filings, and account setups that typically require navigating multiple agencies and service providers. The service is particularly valuable for international founders who need a US legal entity to accept payments, raise venture capital, or operate in the American market. Atlas provides founders with a complete legal document package including bylaws, board consent, stock purchase agreements, and indemnification agreements drafted by top Silicon Valley law firm Orrick. After formation, Atlas provides ongoing support through its dashboard with tax filing reminders, equity management tools, and access to discounted services from partners including AWS, Google Cloud, and legal counsel. The one-time fee of $500 covers incorporation, registered agent for the first year, legal documents, and 83(b) election filing, representing significant savings compared to assembling these services individually.
