Correct in terms of default templates. Our default templates, which are used by YC companies typically, are designed by attorneys for Delaware C-Corps in California.

We are designed to be able to take in any type of legal document though, including docs you already have from your attorney. So if you're not using the default templates, or you've customized them yourself, that limitation won't apply.

this seems like a very narrow operating space? if i understand correctly.. if you are NOT a DE C-Corp in CA, then everything needs to be reviewed again based on a different structure.

do you plan to offer base templates that better fit companies not following your DE/CA method of incorporation. i would venture to guess most startups don't have the capital nor legal advice to go this route. in fact my CA attorney told me to skip the DE C-Corp in the beginning.

If you are a company set up on another structure, we can take the documents you're currently using (from your lawyer for instance) and set them up on the system for you. We're designed to be the infrastructure layer, not necessarily the ones coming up with the templates. But we do have those DE C-Corp templates up since many YC companies are set up that way.
makes sense, thanks for the response.
