Naomi Reyes, Founder · $2.4M ARR · 14 employees · Formed 2024
The situation
Naomi raised a $3M seed round for her AI infrastructure startup. She needed a clean Delaware C-Corp with founder-friendly vesting and a cap table ready for institutional investors.
What File.Business did
Formed Lattice Compute as a Delaware C-Corporation. Filed 83(b) elections for all three founders within the 30-day window. Set up the initial cap table with vesting schedules. Coordinated with Mercury for banking and Stripe Atlas-style legal templates. Provided an investor data room template.
The outcome
Seed round closed 3 weeks after formation with no diligence delays. Cap table audit passed first review. 83(b) elections accepted, saving founders an estimated $400K in future tax exposure.
