@AbstractOpsCo does a bunch of these on top of Atlas! Registered agent, foreign qualifications, payroll tax reg, virtual mailbox, autopay state fees. 1-click to shutdown is near-impossible, but we do have a checklist we are going to open-source soon (at composed.abstractops.com).

👋🏼 check us out at @AbstractOpsCo Not just Registered Agent & foreign qualification with Secretary of State… but also payroll tax registrations, task management and more.

Here's a link out to all our recommended vendors for the back office, in order of when you should set them up for a new company: Before incorporation Domain - @Cloudflare Email - @GoogleWorkspace 1Password - @1Password Virtual mail - @useStable Incorporation & setup Incorporation - @atlas Legal - @ScaleLLP State biz qualification - @AbstractOpsCo Bank account - @Mercury Essentials Chat - @SlackHQ E-sign - @Adobe @HelloSign Reimburse personal expenses - @googlesheets Legal templates - forms by @Orrick @CooleyLLP Later, when you need it State Labor & Revenue registration - @AbstractOpsCo Payroll & benefits - @GustoHQ Intl hiring - @remote Corp card - @tryramp Bookkeeping - @puzzlefin Payments - @stripe Cap table - @pulley Biz insurance - @vouch_group Fundraising / SPV - @AngelList KB & internal data - @coda_hq @NotionHQ @airtable

I’ve learned a lot about what to do, and what *not* to do when seeking PMF the last few years at @AbstractOpsCo Here’s my most surprising realization: your product doesn’t matter in achieving product-market fit. So what does matter? The quality of the problem you’re solving. 👇

If you're a startup founder / leader, you should be nailing but not innovating on Finance, HR, or Legal. They are critical to scaling, but they're mostly solved problems... but based on the sheer breadth, unfamiliarity, and complexity, it doesn't seem like it. 1. These best practices and recommendations already exist in peoples' heads; we simply... wrote it down. 2. There are lots of "perks pages" but no "guides." We are building a structured guide, where you can zoom in / out, double click through abstraction layers to better understand how it works (hence @AbstractOpsCo 🙃). Meet Composed: the startup operating guide. I. Prelude: the jobs to be done in operating a startup II. Origin: the definitive incorporation++ checklist III. Progression: manage your stack through PMF & scale IV. Epilogue: dissolving a company Part I. Prelude: the "circuit diagram." What are all the jobs-to-be-done in operating a startup? We've codified every notable department \ function \ responsibility that is typical in a startup (through late stage / ~500 people or so), so that you can make high-quality decisions with a big-picture view. See & play with the interactive @figma here: blog.abstractops.com/prelude…

We’re doing this for business compliance (payroll tax & entity registrations and management) @AbstractOpsCo.

5. Use @Superhuman. It's one of the first subscriptions I bought when I started @AbstractOpsCo. You have to learn to operate keyboard-first (but it was easier for an old Excel monkey like me). But once you do, you'll save a ton of time. Some of the best $30 / mo I spend.

2. Lots of Google Groups. @AbstractOpsCo has ~200! We use them to - manage corporate stuff like logins, vendors, HR, etc. - triage customer comms (often on a per-customer level) - cc entire teams on external comms when needed That way, individual emails are in fewer databases.

Hi Ari! Yes, we cover a similar surface area (a superset, to be honest) and can definitely help migrate your registrations. Pinging you over DM now!

Very excited to share something that has been ~3 years in the works: The PCG Multiple and Calculator. P/E has never worked for startups, and P/S is highly unreliable too. This is our contribution: a method that prioritizes unit economics & growth. abstractops.com/valuation
