We’re pretty good at what we do,
but you don’t have to take our word for it.

“Gust Launch is a sleek product for any entrepreneurs looking to manage their governance, risk, and compliance. I am very happy with their overall engagement with the entrepreneurs. The webinars from various service providers cut down the time an entrepreneur would spend to get
the services.”

“As a founder myself, I created my business
with Gust.

As a mentor for Techstars, and half a dozen other accelerators and entrepreneurial programs, I advise all my companies to use Gust to create their entity.”

“We really felt that the Gust team was by our side as we worked through the various documents for our first C-corp.

And when we had questions, they were super responsive and helpful. I highly recommend their platform and their people.”

Jules Walters
“Gust Launch has felt like our own virtual startup advisor. I originally began using Gust for the same reasons most people do: cap table management and incorporation. While managing both of those things with Gust Launch is a breeze, what I wasn’t expecting to find was the immense amount of digestible and actionable knowledge that Gust had to offer on nearly every startup-related obstacle that I would run into.”

Sam Rystrom
I’d recommend Gust over and over. The product is amazing, the team is even better.

I wouldn’t look anywhere else to incorporate, or to manage everything else we use Gust for.

Chance Mayfield
I absolutely love using Gust. If you’re a founder or an entrepreneur, Gust is your single most valuable resource to getting started.

I wish I discovered them earlier in my start-up journey, I would have saved a boatload of time and money.

“I love the simplicity of incorporating through Gust Launch, and their customer service is amazing. We needed to incorporate our startup immediately as we were already invoicing a big client. It was so easy, streamlined and fast. Once I entered my info, it took only 3 days-including the weekend!”

“I never thought filing for incorporation could actually be a pleasant experience, but incorporating my company with Gust Launch actually was. It was clean, simple, intuitive-and most importantly, quick. I work with startups every day, and I recommend Gust Launch to everyone who hasn’t already incorporated.”
