ENTITY.IDInvestor teaser · 2026-07
Operate today.
Incorporate when you need to.
Every venture tool on the market starts at the certificate of incorporation — Carta literally requires one to onboard; Stripe Atlas's product is the filing. But the real founding moment is the handshake, months earlier — and the fastest-growing kinds of ventures (solo, cross-border, agent-assisted) mostly never file at all. Entity.ID moves the venture's legal life back to the handshake.

name → partners (identity-verified) → ownership split → terms & arbitration → constitution → REGISTERED · minutes, not weeks
The venture lands on a public, tamper-proof registry with its own address — and runs from minute one: treasury with signing policies, fundraising with standard instruments settling to treasury, governance with weighted votes and quorum, verified members, live compliance standing. Incorporation becomes a feature the venture installs when it's ready — not the front door.
Why incumbents can't follow
- Formation platforms (Atlas, LegalZoom, Doola) end at the filing — no treasury, governance, or membership; human-only KYC
- Operations tools (Carta, AngelList, Fairmint) can't begin until the filing exists — and keep records in private vendor databases (Carta's 2024 cap-table scandal is the case for a public record)
- The category is consolidating, not innovating: Firstbase, Capbase, Formation Nation all acquired 2025 — in a ~4%-CAGR paperwork market
The second engine: AI agents
The modern founding team includes software. On Entity.ID an AI agent can hold a registered role inside a venture — anchored to accountable humans, with treasury mandates and governance-set permissions, checkable by any counterparty (Know Your Agent). EU agent-disclosure duties become enforceable Aug 2, 2026; Gartner sees $15T of B2B spend agent-mediated by 2028. Same registry, second market.
Formation platforms end where Entity.ID begins: the moment two people — or a person and an agent — agree to build something.
