How long ago did you incorporate your LLC or C-corp? What was the biggest challenge for you?

Thanks Surender. Great timeline! What was the most confusing part of registering your own C-corp?

I'm not an American citizen and had to ask a friend to incorporate the company and then 'gift' it to me and my other co-founder. I think that was bit confusing. We had to do it because we got invested from YC.
