Chapter 01 — The reality
Meet Tarka Labs — Anjali, Faisal, and Lucia, a three-person product studio with paying clients and no structure. This is the story of how they became a real company, in the order that actually made sense.
Chapter 02 — Ten minutes in
The first thing Tarka Labs did wasn't paperwork. They claimed a name and got a public page — an address anyone can look up, from a client running due diligence to a future investor.
Step 1 of 7 — the whole formation takes minutes, not weeks.
Chapter 03 — The conversation everyone avoids
Handshake equity kills more startups than competitors do. Tarka Labs wrote theirs down once — ownership, decisions, and what happens when people disagree — in one constitution, from a template.
Every proposal and vote lands in the venture's permanent record.
Chapter 04 — Month two
Client money stopped flowing through Anjali's personal account. The venture opened its own treasury with multi-approval controls — and when a first angel showed interest, they ran the raise with built-in agreements and investor records.
Treasury — hold, send, and track funds together.
Fundraising — agreements and investor records, built in.
Chapter 05 — When it mattered
Eight months in, a lead investor asked for a C-Corp. For most teams that means weeks of untangling who owns what and who agreed to which terms. For Tarka Labs it was an upgrade, not a rebuild.
Their records, members, and history carried over on incorporation day — the venture simply became the company it already was.
