I'm also based in Canada (Mtl) and I has been waiting for months for their international support. What were the other reasons (if you wan to share)? I'm interested in the experience of making US companies from Canada and what are the time and money expenses this generates.

We're also in Montreal!

One big reason we went US was to avoid Bill 101 and all the language restrictions it entails. It was going to really slow us down. We also like the access to US capital that setting up in the States allows for.

An LLC is an amazing thing that we don't have in Canada. It provides limited liability while freeing you from the governance requirements that a corporation has. As a bootstrapped startup, it really sucks to have to deal with endless paperwork to keep your corporate veil in order.

Carl Mercier posted a really good blog entry from a local Quebec perspective, check it out:

If you have the chance, could you do a blog/HN post about this? I'd love to understand how this is done as well.

Definitely would love to hear more about it as well as the viability of going through that route as a single founder. Thanks!!
