What this repo does

This repository is a written checklist for incorporating a Delaware C- or S-corp with California compliance steps. It links to forms, fees, and sequential tasks for founders to follow. It is static documentation, not software or an API.

Why this was rejected

  • No LICENSE file—cannot legally reuse the content in a commercial product.
  • It is a static checklist with no software or API, and the space is dominated by paid incumbents (Clerky, Stripe Atlas), making differentiation difficult for a quick solo build.
License risk
High· None

No license means default copyright—commercial reuse, modification, or redistribution is not permitted.

How it could be fixed

Add a permissive license (MIT/Apache-2.0). Then convert the checklist into structured, machine-readable steps with templates and a basic web workflow (document generation, reminders, state-specific branching) to create a productizable foundation.

Alternative uses

  • Open reference guide for first-time founders and accelerator cohorts.
  • Internal wiki resource for startup communities or university entrepreneurship programs.
