I think the rise in “company formation/setup as a service” is interesting

Hi, I'm one of the cofounders of Clerky... we started this whole rise :) Out of curiosity, what is the "sort of" part?

From the Clerky site it looked more like you pay for specific things and there wasn't some kind of overall monthly subscription dashboard (though I may well be wrong here), and for whatever reason my mind categorized those two things differently.

Though in saying that, Stripe Atlas is also just a one time fee.

So I think it's just a framing thing. The other ones called their things "products" and launched them as products, and maybe Clerky has done that too and I haven't seen it, but currently I associate Clerky more as a legal services thing.

Hopefully the insight into the (weird and non rationally justifiable) ways my brain is thinking about the distinction is useful

Thank you - the insight is very helpful! You are correct in that we are much more focused on the legal side of things, and have no plans to expand into accounting or anything like that. But I like to think we do the best job on the legal part :)
