When I started my last company, I made a massive mistake. I went to one of those cheap online incorporation companies. It wasn’t until my investor asked to see my incorporation papers that I found out that almost everything they had done wasn’t done correctly. My board was structured incorrectly. My stock hadn’t been issued the way it was supposed to be. My business hadn’t filed all the required documents to properly incorporate. I was left embarrassed in front of my investor, who no doubt had questions about what kind of businessman and partner I would be. This was part of the reason I started Every with my professional better half (and co-founder) Barry Peterson. I didn't want any more tech founders to fall into the same trap I did. At Every, we ensure that you are properly C-Corp incorporated, that your board is set up correctly, and that your stocks were issued compliantly. Better yet, we will do it all for free.

Rajeev, thanks for sharing this! Stories like this remind me to share my own lessons from the trenches without stigma. We all hit setbacks, so it’s great to hear from others who focus on what we learn and how we grow rather than the stumbles along the way. 🌱
Humbling moment! Lead you right to the next venture and making sure no one ends up embarrassed like you once were. Thanks for sharing your past!
