Hello, Makers! Let's face it: legal can be the most daunting part of launching a new business. This is especially true when you're operating at the forefront of technological progress, where new regulations tend to emerge every now and then. This is currently the case for crypto and AI, and tomorrow, it could be space exploration ā€” or something else entirely that we can't yet foresee. While each wave of frontier technology startups faces unique regulatory challenges, all startups have a lot in common when it comes to legal needs. As lawyers advising technology startups for the past eight years and huge fans of optimization, we always wanted to build something to address this challenge. That's why we've created Degoverned. Our platform aims to address the fundamental legal needs common to all startups while also tackling the unique regulatory hurdles faced by frontier tech companies. Here's what Degoverned offers today: šŸ¢ Incorporation: Not just in the U.S., but also in other startup-friendly jurisdictions like Singapore, the UAE, Estonia, and various offshore locations. šŸ’° Fundraising: Go beyond the SAFE and issue equity, debt, or tokens. šŸ“„ Legal Templates: Generate that urgent NDA, store all your templates in one place, and benefit from our ever-expanding library of legal documents. šŸ“š Education: Get started with our guides on new tech regulations, beginning with crypto and web3. Think of us as the next evolution of Clerky or Stripe Atlas, extending beyond just U.S. incorporation. We have an ambitious product roadmap with the ultimate goal of becoming a legal, finance, and admin HQ for technology startups. Realizing this vision will take time, and we're starting today with the launch on Product Hunt.

@roman_buzko great to see this on PH, I read your Telegram channel and it helped me a lot and I'm def the target audience for this product. All the best with the launch!

Hey mates! Looks very promising for early-stage startups without legal advisors on the board. Is the main idea to create something like Clerky but for more countries and more industry-specific?
Roman Buzko
Clerky is a great platform, but they had no updates over the past several years and no product roadmap. We want to go deeper adding new legal products and broader serving new markets beyond the U.S.
Victor Metelskiy
Congrats on the launch. Looks very intuitive. Do you have like a comparison table for incorporation in different countries? It's actually kind of hard to choose, and most of the tools focus on a particular country - like Osome is for Singapore, and Firsbase is for US. I love how you offer multiple options.
Roman Buzko
@victor_metelskiy, thanks! Good point on the comparison table. We are working on it!
Paul Mit
So glad to see you launch guys! And great service for early stage startups targeting on global market!
Anna Kasumova
Wow! Congrats guys! I was engaged in these questions at my previous job and it is really hard. I like that you create such a decision!
Garen Orchyan
Looks like a great product for startup founders, going to recommend it to my friends. Great job @roman_buzko and team, congrats on the launch and best of luck today šŸš€šŸš€šŸš€

Congrats! This is awesome. Sorting out legal stuff isn't the most fun part of building a business. Having an option to streamline it and focus on building the product is what many small teams can benefit from enormously!
Johan Steneros
It's great to see a platform that offers so many resources. I'm especially interested in the templates. Didn't see pricing anywhere.

Wow šŸ˜³. Congratulations to the team. Honestly, the legal part of a startup always goes over my head. Looking forward to what Degoverned can do. šŸ’Ŗ

awesome, please tell me it used AI to be as accurate and legit as possible and that it is constantly being trained on updated government docs

Congratulations on your launch. Seems like a game changer. Besides incorporating new companies, do you also do conversion for existing corporations like an S-corp trying to convert to a C-corp or an LLC wanting to convert to a corp or foreign corporations trying to domesticate in a different or new State for US companies. Thank you. Am asking because I have two S-corps that I want to convert to C-corps
Ivan Ilin
Congratulations on your launch! A very practical stuff, as a founder I can prove legal is a pain sometimes, although, I would move the signup wall further from the user and would make it a one click button instead of a number of fields for manual filling.
Roman Buzko
@ivan_ilin, thanks! Good point, we should indeed make all the templates available before the sign-in.
Evgeny Kotelevskiy
I really like the name. It sounds modern, and even for a non-native speaker, I understand the logical connection between your product name and the problems it solves. And to be honest, I'm not a regular crypto user, so even so, this name works for me.
Pardeep Dhingra
I feel like your product is must for every company. Now everyone company shifted their focus on AI and this product is going in the right direction focusing on AI licenses. Looking forward for to it.
Rose Kamal Love
This feels like a really promising tool, quick question, does it support India and it's laws?
Roman Buzko
@rosekamallove, not yet. But India is the tremendous pool of talented founders and very promising market for us.
Julia Suontama
Congratulations on the launch šŸ„³ for the whole team! Actually, legal stuff is something I guess many startups fail to understand or underestimate. I.e. we are incorporated in Finland but also applied to YC --> Delaware flip ahead if we get in. Don't even want to think how hard it will be šŸ˜„ So what you're doing, is definitely needed. Good luck with the product!!
Fredrick Momanyi
Brilliant job developing such an awesome platform! It's about time the Legal industry gets disrupted!
This product is really needed for me. I'm just preparing to set up a legal entity for my startup. I will be exploring what you offer. Congratulations on the launch! Good luck!
Roman Buzko
Thank you, @alex_egorov! Feel free to ping me and I will guide you through.
Elizaveta Novikova
This platform seems really promising for tech startups! Looking forward to seeing the new additions you have planned, guys! Good luck šŸ€

Hi everyone, Vasily from Degoverned here! I'm a lawyer by training and a self-taught developer who decided to retire my law diploma for good. I led the development of our platform, which was primarily built on Bubble, complemented by some custom coding. We chose to use Bubble for its obvious advantages in flexibility and rapid development cycles. Happy to chat about the technical aspects, and a big thank you to all of you for your support!
