Family note: V1 is the parent — it explains the promise in a confident product pitch. Sibling V1a proves it (the hero runs the product); sibling V1b asserts it (Swiss typographic confidence).
Entity.ID pitched straight, Stripe-Atlas energy: here is the product, here is how it works, it's free to start — a working venture in minutes, incorporation whenever it makes sense.
Category: the venture formation & operations platform — contrast-named against incorporation services (Stripe Atlas, LegalZoom, Clerky) that sell a filing and stop. A formation & operations platform sells a working venture.
For founders, collectives, and agencies operating on handshakes, Entity.ID is the venture formation & operations platform that turns a name into a working venture in minutes — rules, treasury, members — recorded in a tamper-proof public registry, with no lawyers and no filing fees until you need them. Unlike incorporation services that end at the paperwork, Entity.ID starts you operating today; when you incorporate, every record carries over — nothing to rebuild.
Formation is a product experience, not a legal errand. Once forming is free and takes minutes, the rational default flips: form first, operate immediately, incorporate when a counterparty demands it — and arrive at incorporation with members, ownership, and history already on the record.
Three moves — name it, constitute it, operate it — and the venture exists at a public address, rules from tested templates, live in ~10 minutes, no credit card.
Treasury, fundraising, governance, members, and compliance wired together from the start — the operating tools a real company needs, not documents in a folder.
Not a starting point. Become an LLC or C-Corp when you're ready — members, ownership, decisions, and finances carry over. Nothing to rebuild.
The V1 landing deliberately holds the AI-agent story back — V1a and V1b carry it on-page. Investor materials for V1 still carry the KYA wedge (see slide S6).
Entity.ID is the venture formation and operations platform: start your venture today, incorporate when you're ready. Name it, constitute it, operate it — a working venture in minutes, with treasury, fundraising, governance, members, and compliance in one dashboard, recorded in a tamper-proof public registry. Free to form, no lawyers, no filing fees until you choose a jurisdiction — and when you incorporate, every record carries over. 66 WORDS
Entity.ID is the venture formation and operations platform. Founders, collectives, and agencies turn a name into a working venture in minutes: members, ownership, rules, and treasury, recorded in a tamper-proof public registry that banks, investors, and registrars can verify. From day one the venture operates through a single dashboard — treasury, fundraising, governance, members, and compliance — with no lawyers and no filing fees to start. Incorporation is a step, not a starting point: when the venture is ready to become an LLC or C-Corp, its members, ownership, and history carry over. Ventures run on the Entity.ID protocol, an open registry standard. Learn more at entity.id. 104 WORDS
Form a structured venture in minutes — rules, treasury, members — no lawyers, no filing fees until you need them. Below the fold: the real dashboard in a browser frame, then name it → constitute it → operate it.
Name, members, ownership, rules, treasury — a working venture in a tamper-proof public registry before the coffee's cold. Free to form; incorporate whenever it makes sense, records carry over.
Entity.ID is for the in-between: a structured venture with recorded ownership, rules, and a treasury — in minutes, for free — that becomes an LLC or C-Corp the day you need one.
[Confident, unhurried. Product pitch, not thesis lecture.]
Americans started five point six million businesses last year — a record — and the tools they got were paperwork. [beat] A filing, a PDF, good luck.
Entity.ID is the venture formation and operations platform. You turn a name into a working venture in about ten minutes: members, ownership split, a constitution, a treasury — recorded in a tamper-proof public registry. And it operates immediately: raise, sign, spend, decide — one dashboard.
Free to form, no lawyers. You incorporate when you're ready — and everything carries over. [land it] Start your venture today. Incorporate when you're ready.
[Open on the customer, not the company.]
Three people start building something. Money changes hands, work gets divided, a customer shows up. [beat] Now they have a choice: spend weeks and real money incorporating a company they're not sure exists yet — or keep running on a handshake. Most pick the handshake. A California court just told us what a handshake is: a general partnership, with personal liability for everyone in it. [pause]
Five point six million new US business applications last year — an all-time record — and that's the choice we still offer every one of them. The formation industry files paperwork and stops: LegalZoom is seven hundred fifty-six million dollars a year of filings. The operations stack — Carta, AngelList — won't even talk to you until the certificate of incorporation exists.
Entity.ID is the venture formation and operations platform. [category, plainly] Here's the product. [demo energy] Seven guided steps: name it — it becomes a public address, tarka-labs dot entity dot i-d. Add members. Split ownership to the percent. Adopt a constitution from tested templates. Register. About ten minutes, free, no credit card. And now it runs: treasury with multi-approval controls, fundraising with built-in agreements, governance that's recorded and enforceable, compliance kept ready for banks. One dashboard for the whole venture.
Incorporation? It's a step on the path — not the starting point. When a counterparty demands an LLC or C-Corp, you incorporate from your records: members, ownership, decisions, finances carry over. Nothing to rebuild, no untangling who agreed to what. We turned the scariest legal moment of a company's life into a checkout flow.
The market's moving toward us. Stripe Atlas incorporations grew a hundred and thirty percent year over year in Q1 — AI is minting founders. And thirty million US businesses have zero employees and zero structure. They were never going to hire a lawyer. They'll click a button.
Business model: free to form — that's the funnel — paid at the moments that matter: incorporation, verification, and the operating modules.
[close — slow] Every venture ends up incorporated or dead. We're where all of them begin. Entity.ID — start your venture today, incorporate when you're ready.
