Yes same, even if I don’t get into YC I’ll be trying to raise on US terms. I’ve seen some really stupid startups in Europe end up with crazy dilution to the point where if they thought about it they’d realise they just had a job working for some rich people. US valuations are twice the amount for half the equity from what I’ve seen so why I wouldn’t do that rather than be screwed over I don’t know…

Make sure you incorporate in a form that US investors are comfortable with. Few investors are going to want to figure out what an ApS or GmH is just to make a seed investment in your tiny startup.

It also gives tou better exit potential in the event of a M&A.

I’ll probably do whatever Clerky tells me to, which is the service YC tells founders to use I believe…
