Hy everyone! Congratulations on the launch of the Firstbase Agent on the PH! ๐ŸŽ‰ Looks like a serious project. Our company was incorporated in the US via Clerky. They provide similar services. Tell me, please, how are you different from them? What is your killer feature?
Rameel Sheikh
@denis_galka hi VP of Ops at Firstbase. Firstbase is trying to become the all in one business OS. Our killer thesis is that we will help you organize all of your back office tools and data into one easy to use place! Imagine having all of your incorporation documents, legal compliance reminders, being able to do most business filings while also signing up for different tools like Carta or Mercury in one platform
Filipe Senna
Hey, @denis_galka ! Nice to hear from you and thanks for your question. Clerky is a great market partner and I am pretty sure everything went smoothie for you. I am obviously biased once I am also the one building Firstbase Start (our incorporation product: https://www.firstbase.io/start, but below I've shared a few killer features (hard to choose one, our team is doing a great job!): 1 - Bank account without EIN: for foreign founders, the EIN process can take a couple of weeks but, with Firstbase, you don't need to wait to have access to your business bank account! 2 - Cap table: Our integration with Carta allows you to create a cap table with just one click after incorporation. We will prepare your legal documents, file your paperwork, and complete all the essential post-incorporation documents. 3 - Rewards: More than any other platform. Our founders have access to more than 250k USD in perks and services that are essential to their businesses; 4 - Building an ecosystem: Our community has earlier access to all products we are launching and everything is smoothie once they are all interconnected. Take a look at how many products we launched last year: https://www.firstbase.io/blog/20... Much more coming in 2023 - I wish I could share some spoilers, but stay tuned!!

Congrats on your launch on Product Hunt! ๐ŸŽ‰ This looks like a great tool and I'm excited to see how it makes business compliance easier. Could you tell me a bit more about how it helps with foreign qualification specifically? Looking forward to learning more about this amazing product! ๐Ÿคฉ
Rameel Sheikh
@paolo_degiglio Hi Paolo - once you purchase Autopilot, we help with you sign up for foreign qualification. Within our app, you have the option to select for which states you would like to foreign qualify with. All you need to do is is pay the state fees after selecting and we take care of the rest!
Filipe Senna
@paolo_degiglio thanks for your feedback! We are super excited with Agent as well. Talking about foreign qualification, we offer that at no interest rate for all 50 states (you only need to cover the state fees). The process is super simple and you can expand to any state in a few minutes: 1 - Go to agent onboarding: https://onboarding.firstbase.io/... 2 - Select you want to expand to a new state 3 - Choose your Agent plan (highly recommend Autopilot!) 4 - You will have access to our Agent dashboard where you can manage every compliance task with the state and our team will notify and handle everything on your behalf! You are more than welcome to test our product and count on me if you need any assistance!

8 months ago, I did not have a great experience with Firstbase. I signed up and a couple odd things happened: - Radio silence from them when I responded to their onboarding email. Just nothing. If they're not responding to their own onboarding emails, how can I trust they'll reliably handle state compliance filings? - They started sending out 3rd party advertising emails from a company called SafeOpt...which they seemingly outsourced their drip emails too? It was bizarre. It's such a nicely designed site in market that doesn't have great options. I really wish they were as good as they looked.
Neil Lobo
@scott_ames_messinger My experience with them has been similar, they have not executed on my change of agent request for 3 months and given the excuse of too much workload. I am surprised that they are launching their service on PH now
Neil Lobo
@scott_ames_messinger Almost all of the upvotes and positive comments seem to be by people who have not actually used the service
Scott Ames-Messinger
@neiljlobo So weird! I wonder if there's some gaming going on. I kinda thought the company was a ghost company that barely existed -- it was such an odd experience. Being sent 3rd party ads after onboarding blew my mind. And I agree -- I was also surprised to see them launch! And, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, but I figured if they had launched on PH, they would probably see my post, find the old email, form an apology, and I might consider trying them out again. But, alas. It's a space that needs more competition. I wish they were rising to the occasion.
Georgy Alaverdyan
@scott_ames_messinger @neiljlobo damn, guys, this sounds rough. I want to open a company in the US and Firstbase is on my top list next to Stripe Atlas and Clerky. What are your recommendations, guys?
Scott Ames-Messinger
@neiljlobo @alaverdyan I wouldn't. Here's how another company handled something similiarly: A company I was using (Stable) was unresponsive and I mentioned it on ProductHunt. When they saw the comment, they apologized profusely, found the email, identified why it happened, and apologized again. All my future interactions were positive -- it was clear my experience was an outlier and they felt bad and embarrassed and fixed it. I'd work with Stable if we needed their services. Take Firstbase. Neil & I have similar experiences (non responsiveness) and what does the VP of **OPS** do? In a comment now deleted, he writes, "I'm definitely open to chatting to understand feedback and how we can be better." That's a non-answer. It's clear what they can do better (be responsive) and the course of action is obvious (reach out to us proactively and resolve this). It wasn't a serious response. It's the response of a company where this probably happens a lot. So, I'd use anything other than Firstbase. I was hoping my comment on PH would lead me to like and trust them more...but the opposite has happened. I haven't used Atlas or Clerky, but we've used CorpNet in the past and they're very, very fast with registrations. I don't love them, but they're very competent at the filing part.
