Daniel — Founder of FounderAtlas

I believe business should be free. Free to set up where it makes sense. Free from information asymmetry. Free from paying $15K just to understand your options.

I'm a product manager in fintech with a compliance background (UPenn). I've worked across banking, blockchain platforms, token exchanges, tokenomics, and unit economics. For the past few years, I've been deep in real estate tokenization — a space that sits right at the intersection of traditional finance and Web3.

That work took me through regulatory frameworks in UAE (VARA, DFSA, ADGM), Singapore (MAS), USA (Wyoming & Delaware), Switzerland (FINMA), and beyond. I've navigated licensing, substance requirements, banking hurdles, and the kind of compliance questions that founders don't even know to ask yet.

Every project, the same pattern: weeks of scattered research, expensive legal opinions, and still no clear apples-to-apples comparison. I kept building this knowledge for myself and my teams. Then I thought — why is this locked in my head? This should be a tool anyone can use.

So here's FounderAtlas. Everything I've learned, structured and open. I'll keep adding jurisdictions, updating regulations, and sharing what I know — because the more transparent this space becomes, the better it is for everyone building in it.

Founder & Product, FounderAtlas

Founders waste weeks and thousands of dollars figuring out where to set up

💰

$5–15K on legal research

Before you even incorporate, lawyers charge thousands just to explain your options across 3-4 jurisdictions.

3–6 weeks of research

Scattered across law firm blogs, Reddit threads, and Telegram groups. No single source of truth.

🎨

Regulations change constantly

MiCA in EU, VARA updates in Dubai, MAS guidelines in Singapore — the landscape shifts monthly.

😶

Biased advice everywhere

Law firms recommend jurisdictions where they operate. Agents push what earns them the highest fees.

📋

Hidden costs surface later

Substance requirements, annual compliance fees, local directors, audit obligations — nobody tells you upfront.

🌎

No apples-to-apples comparison

Every jurisdiction has different entity types, tax rules, and licensing structures. Comparing them is a nightmare.
