The problem

Most promises never make it.

Between the handshake and the state filing there is nothing — no record, no structure, no protection. That's where most ventures live. It's where most of them die.

Cause of death · 01
“we’ll figure out equity later.”

The fuzzy split

Later arrives with a term sheet — and three friends discover they remember three different numbers. Nothing was written where it counts.

Cause of death · 02
“just Venmo it to my account.”

The personal account

The venture's first revenue lands in one founder's checking account. Now trust is an accounting system — and taxes are a mystery novel.

Cause of death · 03
“we don’t need rules, we’re friends.”

The falling-out

No rules, no record, no clean way to leave. In 2025 a US court held members of an unstructured collective personally liable as general partners (Samuels v. Lido DAO).

The system offers every one of them the same two options: $500 and a Delaware queue — or nothing. Almost everyone chooses nothing.

How it works

From handshake to record in three moves.

Seven guided steps, a few minutes end-to-end. Here's what they add up to.

Exhibit A — the wizardEntity.ID formation wizard — naming the venture
Move one

Say who and what

Name the venture, state the purpose, list the partners — an email each, human or agent. You get a public address: your-name.public.entity.id.

Exhibit B — the splitEntity.ID ownership step — splitting equity to 100%
Move two

Agree the terms

Split ownership until it totals 100. Choose your rules — arbitration options, a constitution (Model 1, Model 2, or standard LLC terms). Everyone signs; everyone's verified.

Exhibit C — it existsEntity.ID venture dashboard — overview
Move three

It exists

A tamper-proof public record. A treasury. A live dashboard. The venture is operating — before any state has heard of it. Incorporation waits until you want it.

Watch a venture form — 1:07
“sixty-seven seconds. that’s the whole thing.”

A real formation, screen-recorded end to end — name to registered record. What used to take weeks and a retainer now fits inside a coffee break.

The record is alive

A record that runs the venture.

A certificate gathers dust. An Entity.ID record is the venture's living spine — everything the venture does runs on it, and everything it does is verifiable.

Pillar 01

Real in minutes

Name, members, ownership, rules, treasury — a verifiable public record before any lawyer picks up the phone. The moment of agreement becomes a moment of record.

The recordEntity.ID venture record summary — registrar, constitution, arbitration
Pillar 02

Built to grow up

Treasury, fundraising, governance, membership, and compliance run on the record from day one. Incorporation is a milestone the venture reaches — not the price of admission. Start operating today, incorporate when you need to.

GovernanceEntity.ID governance module
Pillar 03

Every partner counts — even the ones that aren't human

The modern founding team includes agents. On Entity.ID an AI agent is a verifiable member with disclosed standing, anchored to the accountable humans behind it. Same record, same rules, same registry.

MembersEntity.ID members module
Who it's for

Whoever just shook hands.

Promises come in every shape. The registry holds all of them.

“let’s just start and see.”

Founding teams

Structure before the state filing — or instead of it. Equity agreed while everyone still likes each other.

“everyone chips in $200.”

Collectives & clubs

A shared treasury and real rules — without a legal-wrapper safari or personal liability roulette.

“new client, new split.”

Agencies & studios

A venture per project. Splits agreed up front, on a record everyone can check.

“it’s me and my agents.”

Solo builders

On Entity.ID, an agent registers as — or within — a venture, anchored to the accountable humans behind it. It gets a verifiable record: who operates it, what it may do, what it owns. Counterparties check standing before they transact, the way banks check KYC. KYA: Know Your Agent.

Proof, not promises

The record — not the vendor — is the trust anchor.

When your ownership lives in a company's private database, that company is your trust model. We built the opposite.

Public & tamper-proof

No private ledger to breach or quietly edit

Every venture record is public and tamper-proof. Anyone can verify it; no one — including us — can rewrite history. The equity industry's worst scandals came from private ledgers. Ours is not one.

Verified by design

Every member verified, every change signed

Formation requires every partner — human or agent — to be verified and to sign. Changes to the record carry signatures and timestamps. Diligence stops being archaeology.

Rules with teeth

Constitutions and arbitration, built into formation

Choose a constitution model (Model 1, Model 2, or standard LLC terms) and arbitration — including Kleros v2 — at step five, not after the first dispute. The rules live on the record.

A path to the state

Incorporation-ready from day one

The record holds exactly what an incorporation needs — members, ownership, rules, history. When the venture is ready for a traditional legal entity, the paperwork is already true.

What Estonia earns from turning a registry into a product — 132,000+ e-residents forming real companies through a digital-native registry. Registries are products people pay for. We're building the one that starts at the handshake.e-resident.gov.ee · ERR News, 2025

Under the hood

An open standard, not a walled garden.

Entity.ID runs on the Entity.ID protocol — an open registry standard anyone can build on. Records are portable and machine-readable; standing checks are queryable by any counterparty; the registry can outlive any single company. Including ours.

The app is the wedge. The protocol is the moat. Every venture recorded and every standing check performed makes the registry harder to route around.
