About unboxth
The playbook for building an AI startup from anywhere: company setup, costs, tools and fundraising for founders in the US, Canada and Australia.
unboxth is an independent playbook for founders building AI startups in the US, Canada and Australia, or building a US company from one of them. It covers the decisions that cost real money: which entity to form, what your AI stack costs per user, how SAFEs and option pools dilute you, and how to hire or move to the US. Every fee is linked to its official source and every price is dated, and the free tools run the numbers on your own figures.

Editorial standards
- Sources are linked. Articles list the sources they rely on, and reported claims are labelled as reported.
- Dates are visible. Every article shows when it was published and, when it changes, when it was updated.
- Official sources first. Rules and prices are checked against the IRS, state and Delaware filing offices, the CRA, the ATO and vendor pricing pages, and dated. See how we research.
- Corrections are welcome. If something is wrong, email [email protected] and it will be checked and fixed. Fixes are listed in the corrections log.
- Money never buys a verdict. Sponsored placements are labelled, and affiliate links never change a recommendation. See the disclosure.
The full rules, including how we use AI tools and human review, are in our editorial policy. New to the jargon? The glossary explains terms like EIN, Form 5472 and T1134.
