Stripe’s new tool for startups 💰🙌

Sadly, starting a company isn’t as simple as launching a product on Product Hunt. It can be quite complex:

☑️ lengthy paperwork
☑️ boring bank visits
☑️ legal mumbo jumbo

Stripe hates this stuff, too. So they built Atlas, a tool that handles everything involved in establishing an internet business (which received over 3,200 upvotes from the community).

Today, Stripe is announcing a major addition to Atlas: launching a set of tools that make business taxes easier for startups. Check it out here.

Use their handy new dashboard to submit your franchise tax filing in a few clicks (for free) and connect with a curated list of accountants to finalize your return (with up to a 50% discount). We recommend you spend the savings on this, or buy everyone on your team this affordable mini standing desk.

P.S. the recently launched Stripe Atlas Guides was also one of the most upvoted products of the year.

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.

It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.

One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
