Mercury is a great bank, much better than SVB when it comes to flexibility for small startups. It's also very safe [1]. About Stripe Atlas, I only have good things to say, too. As a US NRA, I'm very grateful that it exists. [1] h

Microconf's Slack channel can be a good start. They run mastermind groups a few times per year where they match you with founders in a similar state to you. It can be very helpful if you are looking to build deeper connections with oth

It can be hard and is something you will have to learn to deal with on a personal level. For example, going outside to get sun and physical exercise work fine for me 8 out of 10 times. Other times, when the dread is related to an existentia

This is exactly the kind of reaction that could cause the bank to actually collapse, making the runners fullfil their own prophesy. We can't really blame their customers either. I just hope they can sustain the withdrawal rate.

I wrote about it in my blog a few months ago when I redid my research to open an entity for a new business [1]. TL;DR: it depends. Most likely an LLC will suffice. [1] https://caruizdiaz.com/2022/04/03/the-non
