Oh awesome! I love Stripe Atlas overall for the fast/excellent UX, but Clerky supports PBCs and a higher degree of customization (eg useful for incorporating for https://manifest.is since we had previously agreed on an informal equity split with a bunch of people).
Hoping that now they'll have the best of both worlds!
Clerky is great, Stripe is really buying all of the great product companies. I feel like with Clerky and Stripe Atlas they, Stripe now controls all of the early incorporation infrastructure now. This feels deeply problematic.
I really can't bring myself to put myself behind stripe. Maybe it's because of how the Paypal people turned out. Maybe it is just a dirty business to be in.

+1 to Clerky being a great product. Was super useful for us when incorporating and after as well
Thank you!
I thought Atlas was pretty comparable to Clerky.
What does Clerky do that Atlas doesn’t to justify the acquisition?

You don't need to rely on Stripe to do anything. There are other payment gateways, and you can file things yourself (or hire someone).
Do they make things very easy and accessible for a smaller fee than doing it yourself, yes.
In fact Atlas and their push to be a C-Corp is a bad play for us small timers
Congratulations to Darby, Chris, and the team!
Clerky is an absolutely amazing product and the team there are equally as amazing.
Thank you, and thank you for being a part of our journey!
