Really nice... What is the difference between Gust and Stripe Atlas [Disclaimer: I have my startup registered through Stripe Atlas] from the point of view a USA non citizen and non resident and What services you offer to them?

@engmsaleh Stripe Atlas is a nice, transactional solution for non-US citizens incorporating a US company. Gust Launch is a significant superset of Atlas, initially designed for US entrepreneurs, but expanding to support international founders next month. The basic difference is that Atlas is a one-time transaction, where Gust Launch is an ongoing SaaS platform that includes unlimited, ongoing legal Q&A, ongoing bookkeeping services, ongoing cap table management, accounting, 409(a) valuations, and much, much more.
While Gust has some products and services that are available to established companies (like Gust Equity Managent, valuations services, online funding applications, etc.), Gust Launch as a full platform only is available for companies that start out on the platform from the very beginning. By therefore guaranteeing that everything is done perfectly and integrated with everything else, and that you can never go off track and screw things up, we have been able to eliminate literally 90% of the cost of operating the mechanics of a high-growth company. What is live today is the first part of the solution. We'll shortly be expanding it to include setting up your option plan, providing payroll services, dedicated lawyers (working with the largest firms in the country), and much more. Stay tuned!

@davidsrose Thanks a lot for detailed answer, it really sounds nice. The point of that ongoing platform with all services under the same roof. I really enjoyed Stripe Atlas approach and it helped us a lot, but I still think the point of ongoing services handled all together is still missing... Please keep me updated when you launch the new services.

@davidsrose @engmsaleh I hope it'll be okay if I incorporate using stripe Atlas (this Jan) and then move to your platform. Or will you open up for Indian entrepreneurs on a beta mode.

@jerriclynsjohn While you can't move on to Gust Launch *after* you're incorporated, we do have many services that are available to all companies, including cap table management, co-founder equity split tools, valuation calculators, online funding applications and much more.
