Atlas is still in beta, so there is an small form you'll need to fill out for an invite. But it's quick, so no need for a lengthy business plan -- all you'll need for this is your name, email address, country, website, and a brief description of what you're building and how Atlas can be helpful (no pitch decks!). We're still piloting Atlas with a small group of entrepreneurs, so this bit of info is helpful for us when we're getting folks started.
Once you're invited, we'll reach out to you for any additional personal or business information that's needed for incorporation and getting your bank account set up.
Atlas certainly isn't just for digital goods -- we've had quite a few businesses apply that sell physical goods.
You can request access at https://stripe.com/atlas#request-access, and please feel free drop me a line at [email protected] once you fill that out, or if you have any other questions!
I'm not the person you replied to, but I have a question(s) I hope you can help with.
Is there a list of the minimum requirements to join Atlas? I can't seem to find it in your FAQ. Is it true that entry is granted (or not) based on an evaluation of the startups business plan? Do I have to convince someone at Stripe that my idea has legs before I'll be granted access?
Also, is the service exclusively for startups that deal in digital goods? Say I have a physical product that I need a US company to import and sell (via a fulfillment service). Would Stripe Atlas accept me as a client?
