In general for a company like Carbon it’s a coin toss.
C-Corp for small biz offers better tax on equity sale (QSBS).
LLC is better for profitable companies (income tax) and equity roll on acquisition.
C-corp is more sophisticated so you cant go wrong.
Carbon should be R&D tax credit maxxing and in general should not have a huge profit since you are investing cash flow into growth.
Summary, if you’re already a C-corp I wouldn’t mess with it. You were going to have to upgrade anyways.
To continue tax benefits, you should have a side hustle LLC that owns all of your real estate, work vehicles, etc. Then you can harvest losses to offset your W2 and distributions.
Also, don’t go VC - you don’t need ‘em.
