Talented entrepreneurs from all over the world want to start a business, but not all the countries these entrepreneurs are in have access to the business and banking infrastructure entrepreneurs need to establish a company that's global from day one.

Incorporating in the US, for example, allows companies to issue stock to employees, makes it easy to raise money from global investors, and provides the stability of clear corporate rules and case law. (This is why 60% of the Fortune 500 are incorporated in Delaware). There are also many more business services available to US companies than might otherwise be available to companies based in smaller countries with emerging economies.

So while you're right that there are taxes and other things that come into play when running a business, we find people are already coming up against these roadblocks today -- we built Atlas to reduce this complexity. We hope to see more businesses started because of this.
