Hiya! I’m an engineer on @stripe @atlas. A quick deep dive on the surprisingly complex (and interesting!?) minutiae of company names.

Here's a behind the scenes of how we help founders *not* know all nerdy details of the State of Delaware and the IRS... 🧵

@jeff_weinstein @atlas What a crew!!!

[Jeff Weinstein @jeff_weinstein]

What do you wish you (and your founding team) did wayyy before officially incorporating your company?

Like, stuff you should have thought about, mistakes you made, conversations you should have had, decisions that mattered, or anything else you’d recommend to your former self?

[Jeff Weinstein @jeff_weinstein]

💸 What should be a lot easier about raising your very first round of funding? Or, other prompts:

- How was it surprising?
- What was laborious?
- Tips for a new founder?
- Interesting sources of capital?
- Helpful links you read/watched?
- Anything do you regret or was unfair?

@f_fatemi21 @NassimRadmehr Congratulations!!!

[Sam Parr @thesamparr]

ARR.

Annual RECURRING revenue.

Most ecom, advertising, media, marketplaces, and, well, most everything that isn't enterprise SaaS (tons of exceptions tho) are not ARR.

Yet, most companies raising $$$ use ARR.
