That would be very interesting because it would remove all risk for the founders of being considered "US persons", which has unexpected and unpleasant consequences such as not being accepted as a client by many non-US banks or financial services. It is not clear to me at the moment if incorporating currently through Atlas makes a foreign, non-US resident founder into a US person, or not.
