I work on Stripe Atlas. Prior to that, I ran a few software businesses, all as LLCs. A rule I had in my business was “Don’t talk about timelines until you’re ready to ship, because they only slip, and then people are sad.” I broke the rule several times, and regretted it every time. Stripe has the same rule, but is disciplined about keeping it. I have a lot of thoughts on the C corporation vs LLC tradeoffs and while I’d love to put them in an HN comment my top task this week is putting them in a more permanent location.
