Family note: V1a is the proof sibling — where V1 explains the promise and V1b asserts it, V1a performs it: the hero is the formation wizard, running.
Entity.ID sold by evidence: the first thing anyone sees is a venture actually forming — name, partners (one of them an AI agent), ownership, constitution, register — ending on a live public record. Every claim below the fold is a screenshot of the same run.
Category: the venture formation platform that demos itself — the V1-family category (formation & operations vs. incorporation services that stop at a filing), claimed through evidence rather than argument. If a venture can form on the homepage, "minutes" isn't a slogan — it's the running time.
For founders, collectives, agencies — and AI agents — operating on handshakes, Entity.ID is the venture formation platform that turns a name into a working organization (members, ownership, rules, treasury) in minutes, recorded in a tamper-proof public registry. Unlike incorporation services, you start operating today and incorporate only when you need to. And unlike every product that asks to be believed, this one performs the claim: the landing page opens on the formation wizard, live, forming a venture in front of you.
Don't describe the product — run it. The hero is a live, auto-playing run of the real 7-step wizard, compressed to five beats and ending on tarka-labs.public.entity.id is live. Then the page proves the demo with real screenshots of the same steps: "That wasn't a mockup." Sell by showing.
Watch a venture form in ~20 seconds; the real thing takes minutes. What you watched is the actual wizard — and the screenshots below prove it, step for step. A timer in the chrome keeps the claim honest.
The moment the record is live, the whole dashboard is yours: treasury, fundraising, governance, members, compliance. Registered is just the beginning.
The demo's founding team includes atlas-7, a KYA-verified agent. Not a gimmick: humans and agents form and run ventures side by side, with verifiable identity and a public disclosure trail.
Most landing pages describe their product. Entity.ID's runs it: the first thing a visitor sees is a venture actually forming — named, partnered (one founder is an AI agent), split, constituted, registered — ending on a live public record. The real wizard takes the same seven steps and a few minutes. And registered means operational: treasury, fundraising, governance, and compliance live from the moment the record exists. Watch one form. Then form yours. 71 WORDS
Entity.ID is the venture formation platform that proves itself on contact: its homepage runs the real formation wizard, forming a demo venture — name, partners, ownership, constitution, register — before the visitor touches anything. The product does the same in minutes: a named venture with members, ownership, rules, and treasury, recorded in a tamper-proof public registry and operational immediately through treasury, fundraising, governance, and compliance modules. Founders now include software — KYA-verified AI agents join and run ventures with verifiable identity, programmable treasury limits, and disclosure by default. Incorporation is a later step: members, ownership, and history carry over. Built on the Entity.ID protocol, an open registry standard. Learn more at entity.id. 109 WORDS
Kicker: "● Live formation session." Name it, add partners — human or AI — split ownership, adopt a constitution, register it. Entity.ID makes a real venture in minutes. You're watching one happen. Below: the auto-playing wizard with a live timer, ending on "tarka-labs.public.entity.id is live," captioned honestly: "Simulation, compressed. The real wizard has 7 steps and takes minutes."
This is Entity.ID's real formation flow: name, partners, ownership, constitution, register. Minutes from idea to a venture the world can verify.
Tarka Labs — four members, one of them an AI agent — went from a name to a live public record while you read this. Yours takes minutes.
[Open the landing page. Hand it over. Talk over it.]
I'm not going to describe it — watch. [the wizard starts typing] That's a venture forming: name, partners — the fourth one's an AI agent — ownership split, constitution… [beat] …and registered. Live public record. Twenty seconds compressed; the real thing takes minutes.
Entity.ID is the venture formation platform. What you just watched is the actual wizard — and the moment the record is live, the venture operates: treasury, fundraising, governance, compliance. Incorporate later, if you need to; everything carries over.
[hand the phone back] Yours takes minutes.
[The wizard is already running on screen when you start. Don't acknowledge it yet.]
Every startup in this batch will tell you what their product does. [gesture at screen] Ours has been doing it behind me since I started talking.
That's Entity.ID's formation wizard. Name — it just became a public address. Partners — three humans and atlas-7, an AI agent, KYA-verified. Ownership, split to the percent. A constitution, from tested templates. And… [the record goes live — pause for it] registered. Tarka-labs dot public dot entity dot i-d. A real venture, on a tamper-proof public registry, with a treasury, governance, and compliance already running. The compressed demo took thirty seconds. The real wizard takes minutes. [beat] Minutes.
Why does that matter? Because last year Americans filed five point six million new business applications — a record — and the industry's answer is still paperwork. LegalZoom makes seven hundred fifty-six million dollars a year selling filings. Carta won't even onboard a company until the certificate of incorporation exists. So the riskiest months of every venture run on handshakes — and a court has now ruled a handshake collective can mean personal liability for everyone in it.
Our insight is that proof beats promise. A venture is just software-legible enough now to form itself in front of the buyer — so the demo is the pitch, the product, and the diligence, all at once. And it works for the newest kind of founder too. [slow down] Seventy thousand AI agents are already transacting six hundred million dollars a year. None of them legally exists. You watched one join a founding team ninety seconds ago — verified, scoped, disclosed. That's KYA: Know Your Agent.
Business model: the demo is the funnel. Formation is free; incorporation, verification, and the operating modules are the revenue.
[reach over, hit replay] We don't ask anyone to believe us. We press play. [beat] Entity.ID — a venture, forming before your eyes.
