About Stripe Atlas
Stripe Atlas is a platform for forming a company in Delaware, offering C corp or LLC options. It serves global founders by simplifying incorporation, providing a company tax ID (EIN), issuing founder equity, and handling 83(b) elections to launch a startup quickly.
Key Features
Key capabilities enabling a streamlined incorporation and startup setup include:
Incorporation & Compliance
Generate, sign, and file incorporation documents; within two business days, you’ll be incorporated and ready to bank, fundraise, and accept payments.
Post-Incorporation Essentials
Atlas handles getting your EIN, issuing founder equity, and filing your 83(b) election with templates approved by Cooley LLP.
Legal Templates & Guidance
Templates are created in collaboration with Cooley LLP; information is not legal advice and Atlas is not a law firm.
Banking, Payments & Discounts
Bank and accept payments immediately after incorporating, plus one year of free Stripe card payments processing (up to $100k) and discounts on tools like Mercury, Carta, and AWS (over $50k).
Summary
Atlas provides an end-to-end path from incorporation to banking and payments, backed by templates developed with Cooley LLP. The platform’s value lies in consolidating legal documents, ownership setup, tax identifiers, and post‑incorporation tasks with financial onboarding and discounted tooling, enabling founders to launch operations without coordinating multiple vendors.
