We don’t sell fake passports. Plus, incorporating an offshore company generally gives you no specific advantages to obtain a passport.

Hey guys! I’m Roman — a lawyer who became a founder. A while back, I started building internal tools to automate boring legal tasks at our law firm. One thing led to another, and that side project turned into Skala.io. With Skala, founders can: • Incorporate in multiple jurisdictions (US + offshore) • Manage their companies (some tasks, not everything yet) • Register and maintain trademarks with USPTO • Raise funding using standard legal instruments • Generate and e-sign documents • And, of course, use an AI legal assistant for quick guidance We launched on Product Hunt this week and ended up as #1 Product of the Day. Now we’re in the running for Product of the Week. Here is the launch page: https://www.producthunt.com/products/skala/launches/skala-2 Take a look, leave a comment, and give us a vote if it resonates with you. Would love your thoughts.

Hey fam 👋 Roman from Skala here. We’re building the ultimate legal platform for startups. Most of you already know about SAFEs (Simple Agreements for Future Equity) from YC. They’ve become the go-to tool for raising pre-seed funding. So we built the simplest way to generate and sign SAFEs with your investors. No lawyers. No DocuSign. No fees. Just done, in minutes. We’ve also adapted the original YC SAFE for BVI and Panama entities, which are super popular with crypto founders. Pick your jurisdiction, generate the doc, and send it for signature. That’s it. Links below 👇

At Skala, we've built templates based on YC’s original forms and also added versions for BVI and Panama (popular among crypto founders). This is the SIMPLEST way to generate and sign SAFE to get your project funded. Links below 👇

Now, not all SAFEs are the same. Investors care about two key terms: 1/ Valuation Cap — sets the max valuation for converting into equity 2/ Discount — gives investors a cheaper price per share than the next round

That usually means a future funding round. If the round never comes, the startup doesn’t have to pay anything back. That’s why founders love SAFEs. Unlike convertible notes, there’s no debt hanging over your head.

Think of it as a hybrid between a loan and equity. An investor gives your startup money in exchange for a promise of future shares, but only if a “liquidity event” happens.

SAFE = Simple Agreement for Future Equity. It was introduced by Y Combinator in 2013, and since then has become the global standard for pre-seed deals around the world.

Raising funding for your startup? Most pre-seed investors expect to use this one document. If you’re a lawyer or a seasoned founder, you already know this stuff. No surprises here. But if you’re just starting your founder journey and haven’t heard of SAFEs before, keep reading.

Top crypto lawyer is saying that the era of crypto foundations are FINALLY over. Instead, use the following entities for your next crypto startup: — Regular Delaware C-corps (https://www.skala.io/us-c-corp) — Public Benefit Corporations (https://www.skala.io/us-public-benefit) — Regular Offshore Companies (Panama being the most popular, imho: https://www.skala.io/panama) — Wyoming DAO LLC or DUNA: https://www.skala.io/wyoming — BORGs (https://www.metalex.tech/) Learn more here: https://www.skala.io/startup-jurisdictions-guide

Founder asked, we built. Here is another must-have legal template for founders: Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA). Simple. Clear. Ready to sign. Link in the first comment. https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0xef07b128
