Hy everyone! Congratulations on the launch of the Firstbase Agent on the PH! 🎉 Looks like a serious project. Our company was incorporated in the US via Clerky. They provide similar services. Tell me, please, how are you different from them? What is your killer feature?

@denis_galka hi VP of Ops at Firstbase. Firstbase is trying to become the all in one business OS. Our killer thesis is that we will help you organize all of your back office tools and data into one easy to use place! Imagine having all of your incorporation documents, legal compliance reminders, being able to do most business filings while also signing up for different tools like Carta or Mercury in one platform

Hey, @denis_galka ! Nice to hear from you and thanks for your question. Clerky is a great market partner and I am pretty sure everything went smoothie for you. I am obviously biased once I am also the one building Firstbase Start (our incorporation product: https://www.firstbase.io/start, but below I've shared a few killer features (hard to choose one, our team is doing a great job!): 1 - Bank account without EIN: for foreign founders, the EIN process can take a couple of weeks but, with Firstbase, you don't need to wait to have access to your business bank account! 2 - Cap table: Our integration with Carta allows you to create a cap table with just one click after incorporation. We will prepare your legal documents, file your paperwork, and complete all the essential post-incorporation documents. 3 - Rewards: More than any other platform. Our founders have access to more than 250k USD in perks and services that are essential to their businesses; 4 - Building an ecosystem: Our community has earlier access to all products we are launching and everything is smoothie once they are all interconnected. Take a look at how many products we launched last year: https://www.firstbase.io/blog/20... Much more coming in 2023 - I wish I could share some spoilers, but stay tuned!!

Congrats on your launch on Product Hunt! 🎉 This looks like a great tool and I'm excited to see how it makes business compliance easier. Could you tell me a bit more about how it helps with foreign qualification specifically? Looking forward to learning more about this amazing product! 🤩

@paolo_degiglio Hi Paolo - once you purchase Autopilot, we help with you sign up for foreign qualification. Within our app, you have the option to select for which states you would like to foreign qualify with. All you need to do is is pay the state fees after selecting and we take care of the rest!

@paolo_degiglio thanks for your feedback! We are super excited with Agent as well. Talking about foreign qualification, we offer that at no interest rate for all 50 states (you only need to cover the state fees). The process is super simple and you can expand to any state in a few minutes: 1 - Go to agent onboarding: https://onboarding.firstbase.io/... 2 - Select you want to expand to a new state 3 - Choose your Agent plan (highly recommend Autopilot!) 4 - You will have access to our Agent dashboard where you can manage every compliance task with the state and our team will notify and handle everything on your behalf! You are more than welcome to test our product and count on me if you need any assistance!

Review Firstbase.io?

Firstbase.io receives mixed reviews, with significant criticism regarding customer support and service delivery. Many users report delays in company incorporation and poor communication, with some waiting months for responses. Complaints also highlight unexpected costs and inadequate support for tax filings. However, a maker review from Naoma praises Firstbase for facilitating their US company launch. Despite some positive feedback on speed and simplicity, the overall sentiment suggests potential customers should be cautious and consider alternative providers.

Extremely Disappointed - Overpriced Services and Non-Existent Support Last year, we purchased a package for three companies from Firstbase to test their U.S. company formation services, considering reselling this service to our clients. We chose the smaller package at a good discount to evaluate its effectiveness. However, this year, during the renewal and submission of tax documents, we were suddenly required to book an outrageously overpriced bookkeeping and advisory service. This was not part of our original agreement and makes no sense. Promised services for tax filing were drastically reduced without any prior notification. Securing appointments through their ticket system can take up to 14 days, and the support provided is generic and unhelpful. We are still waiting for a response from an Executive Service representative named Alec, who has been unresponsive for weeks. We've been waiting for almost two months for an acceptable resolution. Additionally, the back office was not customized as promised during onboarding. We manage multiple clients and cannot share our access due to privacy concerns. Despite many promises, nothing was delivered. Communication is extremely poor and unsatisfactory. There are definitely better providers available. It’s a shame, as it sounded promising, but we cannot in good conscience recommend this service to our clients based on our experience. Prospective customers, beware. Our experience with Firstbase has been extremely disappointing and frustrating. We cannot recommend their services given the numerous issues and lack of support we've encountered.

I've had a terrible experience. The app is slow, and I contently need to reenter information. They're more concerned with selling me add-ons than providing the original service I paid for. Overall, very disappointed and would not use them again.
