My recommendation is always home state OR Delaware--the post is what I would personally do. I'd rather deal with the administrative issues early than reincorporate later.

Also, in true hacker tradition, it's probably easier to hack the available free startup legal document sets if you are a Delaware corporation. Most if not all the docs assume the startup entity is a Delaware corporation.

Great post, Ryan! It is always easy to quibble with this or that aspect of how to launch a startup legally, but this is a great roadmap for founders to get them started in their thinking and to keep them focused on the right issues. It is quite consistent with the rest of your high-quality blog.

awesome to have you in this community Ryan. Legal stuff is my least favorite part about operating a startup. It is great to have the perspective of someone who is passionate about it. Also, this is great away for you to get involved with great startups.
