US Tax 101 for Early-Stage Founders - The Founder Finance Series, Ep 01
Everything your accountant forgot to tell you. Live, free, and built for global founders.
You incorporated your Delaware C-Corp. What's next?
Most founders figure out US tax and compliance the hard way, through missed deadlines, surprise bills, and expensive fixes. This session is designed to change that.
Join us on July 15 for the first episode of The Founder Finance Series, a bi-weekly webinar for early-stage founders navigating the US financial system for the first time.
In 75 minutes we'll cover:
C-Corp vs LLC: which structure is right for you and why it matters for fundraising
Your first 30 days: EIN, US bank account, bookkeeping setup, and cap table basics
Year one compliance: federal and state tax, franchise tax, BOI reporting, and key deadlines
Foreign co-founder scenarios: ITIN, withholding, FBAR, and India/UK parent entity considerations
Live Q&A: bring your questions, we'll answer them in real time
