At Skala, our mission is to build the best legal platform for startups in the world. Yes, that means bringing in AI. And we’re working on it. But let’s not put the cart before the horse. First, we need to get the basics right. Last week, we launched our standard NDA. Today, we’re releasing another essential template: Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA). The main use case: hiring a freelancer (developer, marketer, analyst, etc.) on a monthly, weekly, or hourly basis. It’s simple, clear, and to the point — no flashy legal design, just what you need. Link below in the 1st comment. You can download the Word version without signing up — or create a Skala account and use our guided form to fill it out and send a signing link to your contractor. All in minutes, if not seconds. More to come. Thanks for reading!

A comprehensive course on AI Law and Policy should include: - Basics of model training and inference - Why chips are so important and how US controls them (via De Minimis U.S. Content (§ 734.4) and Foreign Direct Product Rule as applied to chips and AI models), what was The AI Diffusion Rule and why it was rescinded recently - Which data could or could not be used for training (privacy, etc.) - Fair use in the context of model training (NYT v. OpenAI, Thomson Reuters v. ROSS Intelligence) - Basics of The EU AI Act as an example of the first comprehensive regulation (perhaps not the best regulation, though) - Why certain AI startups want to use non-profits or public benefit companies and how things can go wrong (OpenAI board saga as a case study) - Whether and how lawyers, doctors and other regulated professions should use AI (ABA Formal Opinion 512 on GenAI) Just some ideas. The list can go on.

Just finished updating our internal guide on this topic. Here’s the summary: 🇻🇬 BVI — the go-to jurisdiction for token issuers due to its permissive legal framework. 🇰🇾 Cayman Islands — popular for their flexible Foundation Companies. Suitable mainly for large DAOs. 🇵🇦 Panama — the Wild West of crypto, with zero regulations. Polymarket and many others are based there. Panama also has private foundations similar to Cayman Islands, which are used by DAOs. 🇺🇸 US — ideal for startups not engaged in regulated activities (e.g., blockchain scanners like Dune). Many ‘DevCos’ or ‘LabsCos’ are still based in the US even if they have affiliated offshore structures elsewhere. In the past, the US was a no-go for companies looking to issue tokens. It is starting to change. Wyoming is leading the charge with DAO LLCs and DUNAs.

Weekly update on building the go-to legal platform for startups Skala.io: — Our site went down on Monday, so we had to jump into emergency mode to restore it. — Set up company registration in Texas and Nevada. — Created a dedicated landing page: https://www.skala.io/incorporate-in-nevada-or-texas. — Launched on Product Hunt, but without much success. If you don’t make it to the top 7 (which is at the editors’ discretion), there’s almost no organic traffic or upvotes. — Built filters for selecting a legal entity based on use case and registration costs (this is a really cool feature, but we’re still fine-tuning it). — Working on the design of the admin panel for trademarks. — Ran a few paid promotional posts. — Started working with a marketing advisor—set up internal key metrics and came up with a few growth experiments. Main goal right now is to grow organic traffic to the website by improving SEO. Because Google does not rank very high the new domain name after rebranding.
