Slightly OT when Tim says "US-based investable entities (which is easy)" how easy it really is?

Even if one incorporates in say Delaware, according to (say UK rules) a company is resident where the heart of the company is. And if I, as a director, am physically out of US (or Delaware), how can you claim your company is resident there? Nominee directors?

I believe the intent is that the business was founded in the US.

OK so incorporated in US but paying taxes wherever in the world?

Not really. He explains what he means in the article.

> - US-based companies, or companies willing to create US-based investable entities (which is easy). Shopify started in Canada, for instance.

The business can be founded anywhere as long as it has a US based entity.

Very true. Wasn't aware Shopify was started in Canada
