Well an amendment in 2017 to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware added Section 115 which explicitly permits Delaware startups to adopt in its certificate of incorporation a requirement that all internal corporate claims are exclusively held in front of a Judge in Delaware. Several cases in California have upheld this. So it's not exactly a crazy question to ask if this would work for YC startups employees.
Internal corporate claims are claims by the corporation against officers and shareholders with regard to their duties to the corporation.
It does not apply to claims by employees against the corporation under foreign state wage and hour laws, nor could it.
Thanks!
On the one hand, of course in this case it applies. On the other hand, let's not pretend CA government doesn't sometimes pass things that aren't very effective.
