Hi all! Facing strange problem with Stripe Atlas support, and don't get how to go out from this loop. They have a list of countries they do not support, including Russia. I am Russian but live in the US, have another business (Delaware-based corporation) etc. The new startup has three founders - one currently lives in Russia (relocates to the US soon), second lives in Germany, me, as I told, live in Miami. Stripe thinks that we will do business in Russia, however, we are building a global service aimed at English speaking markets. Exchanging emails for a couple of days, but these guys look like robots - if there are Russian founders, then you will work in Russia, application declined.

Any advice on how to explain them it seems like a racist thing that has nothing to do with their real rules (as we won't work in unsupported countries)?
