Entity.ID —
the company registry
for the internet.
Public, tamper-proof standing for internet-native ventures and AI agents.
Investor deck · 2026-07-07 · approach V7 — the entity registry · all records shown are specimens
§02 WHY NOW
Three curves crossed
in 2024–2026.
AI is minting founders
Record ~5.6M US business applications in 2025, accelerating into 2026; Stripe Atlas incorporations +130% YoY in Q1 2026.
Agents can pay
Every major network shipped agent rails within 18 months; ~69k agents already moving ~$600M/yr on one protocol.
The rules arrived
Wyoming DUNA (spreading 2026), EU AI Act Art. 50 disclosure (Aug 2026), FINRA's first AI-agent section, NIST agent-identity RFI.
Everything an entity needs to exist online now exists — except the registry.
§03 THE PROBLEM
Trust still terminates in a filing cabinet —
or a vendor's database.
- 03.1Incorporation platforms end at the paperwork — nothing exists before the filing, nothing operates after it
- 03.2Ownership lives in private SaaS ledgers — Carta 2024: an employee misused confidential cap-table data; the vendor is the trust model (TechCrunch, Jan 2024)
- 03.330.4M US zero-employee businesses ($1.8T) mostly never incorporate — they run on handshakes (US Census)
- 03.4Agents transact daily with no legal existence — courts and statutes refuse the liability void (Moffatt v. Air Canada; CA AB 316)
§04 THE INSIGHT
Every functioning economy solved this
the same way: a public registry.
The internet is the largest economy that never got one. The trust model must be the record, not the vendor.

§05 THE PRODUCT
Formation in minutes → a public record →
operations from day one.

Operate today; incorporate when you need to — no incumbent can say this.
§06 THE AI WEDGE — KYA
Agents got payment rails.
We give them standing.
An agent registers as — or within — an entity, anchored to accountable humans. Corporate personhood, replayed for AI.
Registered ↔ registered: one standing check before transacting — the way banks run KYC.
The loudest "AI incorporation" registrar charges $9,500 + a kill-switch human. Nobody makes the agent a principal. We do — accountably.
§07 THE MARKET
The wedge is a paperwork market.
The prize is the registry.
To register: ~5.6M/yr new US ventures · 30.4M nonemployer businesses · 72.9M independents — and category creators capture ~76% of category market cap.
§08 TRACTION
The register, counted.
A registry earns trust by publishing its own numbers.
the e-Residency move — live public counters once real
§09 PROTOCOL ECONOMICS
Registries have three native revenue lines.
We take all three.
Registration & renewal
Formation + annual good-standing renewal — the franchise-tax analog, priced for the internet.
Operations take-rate
Treasury, fundraising, compliance on the record — incumbents built ~$442M ARR on operations, not filings.
Verification / API
Standing checks, KYA verifications, protocol integration for platforms, marketplaces, payment rails.
option, not plan of record: protocol-native credit metering if/when the standard decentralizes
§10 ROADMAP
Registry → rails → standard.
The registry
Formation + public record + operations modules; specimen protocol spec.
The rails
KYA credentialing GA; standing API for platforms and payment rails; incorporation bridge (DUNA / LLC routes).
The standard
Open protocol with independent registrars; regulator integrations — Art. 50 disclosure, FINRA-grade agent logs.
§11 TEAM
The registrars.
Registry, legal, and agent-infrastructure credibility.
§12 THE ASK
Every jurisdiction has a company registry.
The internet's is getting built now —
by someone.
Entity.ID — the company registry for the internet.
