Intercept just published a Request for Candidates for broad-spectrum preventatives. We’re seeking the best ideas that align with our target product concept (in brief: safe, easy to administer, long-acting preventatives that will prevent ≥75% of symptomatic respiratory infections in as few doses as possible). We’ll prioritize proposals received by October 12, and this call will remain open through at least the end of this year. Read more below and please share this with any teams who may be interested!

.@clerkyinc and @Stripe have always shared an ambition: to help technology companies start faster and grow confidently. I’m excited we’re now joining forces. Atlas incorporates more than one in four Delaware companies, while Clerky accounts for almost one in four Silicon Valley seed and pre-seed financings. From founding through financing: a formidable pair to power the next wave of global technology companies. Welcome @darbyw and the whole Clerky team.

Today we're announcing that Warp is now a preferred @stripe partner across Stripe Atlas and Stripe Startups, alongside great companies like Ramp, Linear, Vercel, and OpenAI. Our partnership with Stripe helps double down on our commitment to supporting founders from idea to IPO. Atlas and Startups companies get Warp's full platform free for six months, with every state registration covered. @chughesjohnson , Stripe's former COO, is also an investor in Warp. We have learned a lot from her about scaling a company that people trust with something this critical. Stripe Atlas now incorporates one in four Delaware companies. Delaware formations were up 32% year over year in January, and Q1 was the biggest quarter Atlas has ever had. Incorporating used to mean asking around for a lawyer, getting back a stack of documents you were not qualified to read, and signing them hoping you had not just made an expensive mistake with your own equity. Atlas turned that into something you do once and stop thinking about. Delaware entity, EIN, founder equity, the 83(b), a bank account, payments live. Two business days. The paperwork does not end when the company comes online. Every state is its own tax jurisdiction with its own agencies, registrations, and deadlines, and none of it connects to the thing you are actually trying to build. That is the part nobody automated, and it is the part that gets more expensive the faster you grow. Warp is the only AI-native employee management platform that automates registrations, filings and notices across all 50 states. Many of the fastest growing startups trust Warp to run payroll, HR, benefits, compliance and IT. 10-minute setup, 24/7 support, and over $100M in penalties saved.  Stripe made it possible to start a company from almost anywhere in about the time it takes to ship a feature. We want everything after that to feel the same. Ready to build that generational company you've been thinking about? From incorporation to IPO, use Warp and Stripe.

More startups are forming today, and fewer are shutting down within their first year. Since the VC winter of 2022, Stripe Atlas incorporations have grown 92% and the one-year shutdown rate has fallen 16 percentage points.

Today we're launching Intercept: a $500M philanthropic initiative to make respiratory infections, like the common cold and flu, a thing of the past. We treat respiratory infections as a minor nuisance, but that’s really not the case. Most of us will spend 5% of our lives (!) sick from these viruses, they kill 1M people a year, cost $600B annually in productivity, and periodically threaten civilization through pandemics. So, if they’re such a big problem, why haven’t we dealt with them yet? Last year we convened ~40 leading scientists, pharma R&D leaders, biotech investors, and regulatory experts to better understand that. We heard two main reasons: (1) First, it’s just technically very challenging: respiratory viruses represent hundreds of distinct, mutating strains across several families. Fortunately, recent breakthroughs make this newly possible. (2) Second is a lack of funding: broad-spectrum solutions have historically been underfunded, in part because they’re not a great fit for most philanthropic or commercial funding (and while COVID generated a burst of activity around preventing and understanding respiratory infections through an influx of new funding, that hasn't been sustained). We think that with enough focus and funding, this might be solvable. Intercept is a $500 million philanthropic initiative that will take advantage of new tools to catalyze the development and deployment of two types of products: broad-spectrum preventatives and air cleaning technologies. This problem is undoubtedly difficult. But it’s more tractable now than it’s ever been. We think we should give it our best shot. We’re enormously grateful to our anchor funders: @stripe, @AnthropicAI, @TheFluLab, @FoundationOAI and individuals from Jane Street. And, I’m very excited to be building this with @incredutility and the rest of the team.

.@rachvid12 of Amperical AI, Atlas's 100,000th startup, chats with @MbyM about building AI for battery energy storage, growing up without power in India, and the similarities between being a founder and doing a PhD.

Startup formations are at a record high. More companies incorporated on Atlas in Q1 than any quarter ever: up 130% year-over-year. (Delaware incorporations up 38% year-over-year).

A meaningful stripe @atlas milestone: we just incorporated our 100,000th startup. Of course, we took a look… and helloworld to co-founded by Dr. Rachana Vidhi: @rachvid12. She is building AI-powered software for operating large-scale battery energy storage systems to help electricity grid operators improve reliability and cost. How cool! I had the pleasure to meet her today. Go startups.🔋📈

The majority of @atlas startup founders are over 35 years old for the first time. We’ve seen a surge in startup formation across all age groups, but the over 35 set has grown the fastest.
