Can anyone here point me to a guide of step-by-step instructions for incorporating one's company as a Delaware Class C (to be parallel with YC) -- how to file 83b, etc.?? I'm a bit overwhelmed with all this and want some guideposts. Thanks.

I used these guys http://www.amerilawyer.com/ and it was cheap and easy. If you can get someone to do all the research, paperwork, and filing for you, and even receive your mail until you've gotten a mailing address for $120, I don't see why you would want to try to figure it out yourself.

Nolo Press (http://www.nolo.com/) has some books/kits that walk you through the process. If you not inclined to do it yourself you can always pay someone, such as The Company Corporation (http://www.incorporate.com/) or INCNOW (http://www.incnow.com) to do it for you, most of them offer registered agent service in the state -- though it's probably cheaper just to rent a box at a UPS Store (or similar, a P.O. box is not acceptable).

Some states make it really easy to incorporate, you can check out Delaware's Division of Corporations (http://corp.delaware.gov/) to see if you can file online. I see they list the steps necessary right on their website: http://corp.delaware.gov/howtoform.shtml

Good luck!
