Incorporate in the US and other popular jurisdictions (UAE, Singapore, offshore), generate fundraising documents beyond SAFE (equity, debt, tokens), use legal templates, and stay educated on the regulation of emerging industries, such as crypto, AI and space.
Hello, Makers!
Let's face it: legal can be the most daunting part of launching a new business. This is especially true when you're operating at the forefront of technological progress, where new regulations tend to emerge every now and then. This is currently the case for crypto and AI, and tomorrow, it could be space exploration — or something else entirely that we can't yet foresee.
While each wave of frontier technology startups faces unique regulatory challenges, all startups have a lot in common when it comes to legal needs.
As lawyers advising technology startups for the past eight years and huge fans of optimization, we always wanted to build something to address this challenge.
That's why we've created Degoverned. Our platform aims to address the fundamental legal needs common to all startups while also tackling the unique regulatory hurdles faced by frontier tech companies.
Here's what Degoverned offers today:
🏢 Incorporation: Not just in the U.S., but also in other startup-friendly jurisdictions like Singapore, the UAE, Estonia, and various offshore locations.
💰 Fundraising: Go beyond the SAFE and issue equity, debt, or tokens.
📄 Legal Templates: Generate that urgent NDA, store all your templates in one place, and benefit from our ever-expanding library of legal documents.
📚 Education: Get started with our guides on new tech regulations, beginning with crypto and web3.
Think of us as the next evolution of Clerky or Stripe Atlas, extending beyond just U.S. incorporation.
We have an ambitious product roadmap with the ultimate goal of becoming a legal, finance, and admin HQ for technology startups. Realizing this vision will take time, and we're starting today with the launch on Product Hunt.
Wow, the name is stunning. ⚡️
I've written about Globalfy, Firstbase, and Privatily in the past (LLC forming companies), and your product looks like it could outdo them all.
Since you asked for feedback in launch notes -
Can you outline a few of the costs? I am v hesitant to register for anything without any pricing info available. (Been burned many times in the past with non-transparent pricing.)
What countries are on the roadmap to expand to? (Would love some options in the Balkans!)
Other feedback - I think a list of "these companies started with us" would be huge for me as a potential customer. Having logos and companies I can look at sends a strong signal that this is a trusted service. (e.g. a common search I see for one of your competitors is "Is XXXX legit?" haha.)
Congrats on the launch, I love stuff like this! Getting the makers and builders to be able to move without spending a ton of time on legal.
Great product! Incorporation and legal needs are definitely major hurdles for startups. Will Degoverned also provide assistance with ongoing legal compliance and regulatory updates?
