Every company is different - "non-US founder" is a very broad category, and you need advice from a competent attorney. If you've got global revenue, then you should use it to pay a lawyer to tell you what to do. Try Cooley. If you don't have global revenue, then don't worry about it. Just use a local company for as long as you can. Eventually, you'll be able to flip it to a US parent company if that's what makes sense (e.g. because you raise money from US VC fund).
