I help non-US founders form a US LLC, accept global payments, and build AI-powered products. 33 yrs in software. 45+ companies formed.

Stop paying $100/month for tools that Claude can replace:

- Copywriting software
- Email template builders
- Basic analytics dashboards
- Customer support drafts
- Legal document first drafts

The AI is the tool. Everything else is a wrapper.

I keep getting the same DM from AI automation sellers:

"My client wants to pay $4k for the n8n build but their finance team won't wire to my personal account. What do I do?"

Answer: a Wyoming LLC. Stripe live, Mercury account, invoice with US billing address.

We do this at https://t.co/oMHp8YwFkG.

Comment "AGENCY" + follow — I'll send the 1-page setup.

Most SaaS founders outside the US burn 2-3 months before realizing one thing:

You can't take a single dollar through Stripe without a US legal entity.

I run https://t.co/oMHp8YwFkG. We've set this up for hundreds of founders.

The Day-1 entity checklist (what to file, where, in what order) is 1 page.

Comment "SAAS" + follow and I'll DM it.

3 things every non-US founder gets wrong on Day 1 of building a real business:

1. They form a Delaware LLC because "Stripe Atlas said so" — then pay $400/yr franchise tax forever

2. They use their personal address as registered agent — gets them sued or doxxed

3. They forget Form 5472 — $25,000 IRS penalty in April

I run https://t.co/oMHp8YwFkG. I see all three every week.

Forming a US LLC from outside the US used to take me 6 weeks and 4 lawyers.
Now I do it in 48 hours with 1 platform + Claude.
The exact 9-step checklist is 1 page.
Comment "LLC" + follow + RT and I'll DM it.

Claude is the single most important AI tool for anyone doing knowledge work. Not because it’s perfect (it’s not, and I will share where it falls short). But because what it does well, nothing else comes close.

6. Projects (persistent context folders that remember everything)

Claude is not one tool. It’s six.
You think Claude is “like ChatGPT but from Anthropic.” A chatbot. A text box. You type, it responds. That was true in 2024. In 2026, Claude is six things:

5. Artifacts (interactive outputs you can use, not just read)

Claude Code's statusline shows context % and cost —

Wrote a 30-line bash wrapper that fixes it:

Wyoming vs Delaware vs Florida for your LLC.
Wyoming: no state income tax, strong privacy, lowest fees.
Delaware: best for investors, Chancery Court.
Florida: if you plan to live there.

If you are a solo non-US founder with no investors, Wyoming wins.

The fastest path to SaaS revenue as a non-US founder:

1. Form US LLC
2. Get EIN
3. Open US bank account
4. Connect Stripe
5. Ship product

Steps 1 through 4 take most people 3 months. They should take 3 weeks.

Stripe requires a US entity, a US bank account, and an EIN to accept payments. Not one of them. All three.
If your LLC formation service did not set these up, they did not set you up for business. They sold you a certificate.
