Can you drop me a line at michael.schade@openai.com with more info and your account email? I'll take a look. And yes, that bot has to go—many improvements coming on that front!

Looks like they really upped their production quality with this release! Excite to see their team is still at it. Also pumped to see them officially releasing a Chrome extension to…

This is fantastic. I started Stripe's support team, built out our version of an internal tools team, and have since advised a bunch of mid-range startups on how to scale operations…

(I'm the author.) If it's helpful context, Home has been around for two years and People (its precursor) was made in 2014. We now have a team helping shepherd it along -- you're ri…

Yep, that's right! Home also uses ElasticSearch for the search API it exposes.

Good question! HR system on the backend is the source of truth for people, their teams, and the org structure; we normalize that into an API, which Home functionality and other int…

Primarily Ruby, React, Redux, and ElasticSearch (backing our search API)

(I'm the author.) We don't think of Home that way, but there is an element of helping people know each other. We intentionally haven't built any liking, following, or even posts on…

(I'm the author.) Check out https://www.donut.ai/ -- the company behind it is up to some neat stuff.

(I'm the author.) We regularly discuss this :) I'm not sure yet how valuable open sourcing it will be in the long run. Part of what makes Home work well for us is how tied it is to…

While we include a new bank account when you incorporate through Atlas, you can update your Stripe account to use a different bank account—like your personal account—if you prefer.…

Yep!

We are looking into it :-)

Yep. (Though the incorporator -- you or whomever is signing up -- would also be listed on the Certificate of Incorporation.)

Not a bad question! We see the biggest need in non-US markets, especially for banking, but think it's great if Atlas ends up helping US entrepreneurs too!

I'm michael@stripe.com, and we've a team of folks able to help at atlas@stripe.com.

Nope, we don't have any requirements like that in place. That said, the Atlas beta is focused on companies based in emerging markets; so it's more conducive to someone who doesn't …

Atlas is suited for entrepreneurs anywhere in the world, including in African countries. You can apply here: https://stripe.com/atlas The tax requirements will vary for each compan…

Great question! I've learned a lot about this as I've gotten to hear from entrepreneurs that tried to setup in their own country, but ultimately came to the US. The video on our si…

Glad you're excited about this! We are too. Being able to move Stripe accounts between countries more effortlessly would make a lot of sense. There are a couple technical aspects w…

Atlas is focused on making it easy for entrepreneurs in emerging markets to make their startups available to a global audience for day one. It won't be useful for things like tradi…

Yeah, you're right: C Corps won't be a perfect fit for every company, though we found they were the right starting place for the beta based on what what people are already doing. W…

There are tax obligations you'll need to take into account. We've partnered with PwC to help give you guidance from a US perspective. We've put together a bit more info on the cost…

Thanks for the feedback! We agree that C Corps may not be for every company: we're looking at support for other company structures, including LLCs ( https://stripe.com/atlas/faq#Ca…

Yeah, the registered agent address would be in Delaware. The third party facilitating the incorporation won't show up in the Delaware filings, though there will be a registered age…
