As a US based founder, what is the best way to setup a Corporation?

Question

I am aware of services like Stripe Atlas but it seems like they are a better fit for founders who are not already in the United States. For a US Citizen founder living in the United States, what is the most fast/efficient way in 2021 to setup a Corporation (C Corp). Current options seem like: Stripe Atlas, delawareinc.com etc other than good old DIY or through a CPA. Any other services that make it fast and easy ?

Originally, yes&mdash;Stripe Atlas was optimized for international founders in 2016. But after thousands of US founders used Atlas to set up their C-Corps, we retooled a bit to make Atlas work well with US founders too!

Registration is relatively easy. The hard part is having good legal docs for the required documents for a corporation.
You might also consider an S Corp which has easier tax processes and can be converted to a C corp easily.
Talk to a lawyer and accountant, DIY will cost you more in the long run
