Knowing the ridiculous U.S. tax laws (e.g. you once had an Green Card and now they want to tax you pretty much for the rest of your life regardless of where you live and work), overboarding bureaucracy and general lack of legal security (e.g. frivolous patent lawsuits), I would certainly open my business pretty much anywhere else.

No, as a foreigner. But thats who Atlas is for, right?

"We expect Atlas to be most beneficial for entrepreneurs who have a global customer base, plan to raise money from global investors, or who plan to build an operational presence in the U.S.

While incorporating in the U.S. can make many things much easier, it also comes with long-term legal and tax implications. You should think carefully about whether it’s best for your business and consult advisors as necessary.

(Please note that there are a number of business categories that we can’t support in the U.S.)"

Not for foreigners, for people who want to have a US operations, raise money, or have customers in the US. I think ops, raising money, or having us customers is the right order to think of it too.
