What we do

Everything a new market demands before the first sale: entity, banking, taxes, bookkeeping, recruiting, a real address and full support for every visit.

Who it is for

Startups landing in the US, and increasingly the EU, MENA, LatAm and Southeast Asia.

Founders who want a partner on the ground, not a checklist.

Companies that already have an entity and need it run properly.

How it runs

Audit, prepare, execute. Then a formal go-pause-stop review.

Entity

US company (Delaware or Wyoming), 1-6 weeks; premium route with a lawyer. Consultation is free for alumni.

Office and bank

A Silicon Valley mailing address, mail scanning and forwarding, phone answering, meeting and coworking space, co-living partners. Bank accounts: guidance, or done for you.

Run it

Annual taxes, bookkeeping, back-tax clean-up, fractional CFO and compliance. Recruiting and HR. Trips, conferences and visits supported from the airport to the meeting. Patents, visas and realtors through vetted partners.

Time to entity 1-6 weeks
Address 818 Cowper Street, Palo Alto

In their words
I8GA are true locals that helped us open bank accounts, support our trips to the Valley and lots more. From running around getting the right SIM cards, to hikes and surfing in the Pacific, to meetings, conferences, legendary home-cooked breakfasts. Coming to Silicon Valley now feels like coming home.

The details

Yes, and most companies do. Sales usually follows once the entity is live.
