Likely many points along the pareto frontier.

Some will take greater risks and win (or lose); others will play it safer and slowly accumulate wins (or be obsoleted).

Never mind the threat of letting these models write code that runs your business, or operate it agentically. Models trained by actors (corporate or nationstate) diametrically opposed to your interests.

Lots to take into account now, interesting time to be in business.

It's an interesting question, but I suspect that there are other, easier ways of normalizing companies from those regions to be Delaware-based (or something that prevents it, perhaps in Singapore's case, not sure), whereas outside of those there's really only this nuclear "company flip" option.

YC hates anything specialized about a company re: this sort of thing - hence no special deals, etc., so I'd bet more on other normalization factors rather than no normalization.

The simpler, less cynical answer is that it's not just a US-based company, it has to be a Delaware-based company.

This is because all of the laws around founding, investing, selling, etc. a company are extremely well-trodden in Delaware, and there are very few question marks as to how some strange eventuality or disagreement might be handled.

Since startups are already incredibly difficult, this is a way of normalizing away some of the weird situations that could cause a startup to fail (and likely would never cause them to succeed), so that everyone is putting energy into the real unknown unknowns around the startup.
