How many of you are running a startup as a foreign founder with a U.S. entity?
We’ve been talking to dozens of global founders launching Delaware C-Corps and they’re often left in the dark on U.S. tax and compliance.
Curious how many folks here are in that same boat? What’s been the hardest part?

Honestly, (I am not from the US – I am a European), but I wanted to found a company in the US, studied C-corp a lot, but found some hidden traps (like federal taxes if you have a US client, or pass-through entity – I had to pay my all taxes here anyway) + there would be more administration costs.
Bottom line: It wouldn't be advantageous for me. Anyway, love to see/hear how people approach it.
Many found their companies in Estonia, Cyprus and Georgia.
@busmark_w_nika Thank you sharing your story, Nika. It’s super helpful for others to hear.
@salleisha You are welcome :) I would be pleased if more people contribute here :)
@alessandro_afloarei that's interesting, Alessandro. Our startup is in the USA and has a US founder, but we have clients - US entities with foreign founders. If you ever need help with Delaware taxes, we will be happy to help.
@salleisha Thank you!
