# Corply > Corply is an autonomous incorporation agent for startup founders. It forms a > Delaware C-Corp, gets your EIN, issues founder stock, handles the 83(b) election, > and builds a venture-ready company structure that investors, banks, and future > diligence expect — driven entirely from Claude Code with a single command. Corply is built for founders — including international cofounder teams — who want to incorporate a U.S. startup correctly the first time, without hourly attorneys. It runs as a Claude Code plugin: you install it, sign in once, and the agent gathers your company details, generates the legal documents (Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, Action of Incorporator, Board Consent), collects a binding e-signature from every cofounder in-chat under ESIGN/UETA, and hands the filing off to Delaware. Pricing is a flat fee with no hourly billing. The Delaware filing step is human-reviewed before submission. Corply is operated by 0Lumen Labs Corp. Corply is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. ## Get started (from Claude Code) - Install: `claude plugin marketplace add corply-dev/corply-plugin` then `claude plugin install corply` - Run: `/incorporate` - On the first tool call your browser opens once to sign in with Google, then Claude Code is authorized into your organization. ## What Corply does - [Delaware C-Corp formation](https://corply.dev): Certificate of Incorporation filed with Delaware, the structure investors expect. - [EIN + founder stock](https://corply.dev): federal tax ID and founder share issuance handled as part of formation. - [83(b) election workflow](https://corply.dev): the time-sensitive tax election founders must not miss. - [Cofounder e-signature](https://corply.dev): every cofounder reviews and signs from their own Claude Code, with a full audit trail. - [Post-incorporation records](https://corply.dev): approvals, documents, deadlines, and company context stay in one place after you form. ## Who it's for - First-time founders who want a venture-ready structure without guessing. - International / non-U.S. cofounder teams incorporating in the U.S. - Technical founders who would rather run one command than fill out portals. ## FAQ - **What is Corply?** An autonomous incorporation agent, delivered as a Claude Code plugin, that forms a Delaware C-Corp end-to-end from the terminal — application, legal documents, cofounder e-signature, and Delaware filing. - **How do I use it?** Install the plugin (`claude plugin marketplace add corply-dev/corply-plugin` then `claude plugin install corply`), run `/incorporate`, and sign in once with Google on the first tool call. - **Is it a Stripe Atlas / Clerky alternative?** Yes — same outcome (a venture-ready Delaware C-Corp), but driven from Claude Code instead of a web portal, with a flat fee and no hourly attorneys. - **Do all cofounders need to sign?** Yes.
