How we solve your challenges
From structuring advice to a fully incorporated Delaware C-Corp — the complete flip, in one team.
We analyze your current Swiss corporate structure and advise on the optimal way to restructure for US expansion — whether a full Delaware Flip, a subsidiary, or an alternative holding structure — taking into account your cap table, investor requirements and tax implications.
We handle the full incorporation of your Delaware C-Corporation, including preparation of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, initial board resolutions and organizational minutes — everything needed to get your new US holding entity up and running.
We draft and coordinate the share exchange agreements between your Swiss entity and the new Delaware C-Corp, ensuring your existing cap table — founders, employees and investors — is accurately and efficiently mirrored in the new structure.
We advise on and implement the transfer of intellectual property and key assets from your Swiss entity to the new Delaware holding, including IP assignment agreements, inter-company licenses and any required regulatory filings.
We prepare your documentation package to meet the expectations of US venture capital investors — from SAFE and preferred share structures to investor rights agreements and drag-along provisions — so you can close your US funding round efficiently.

Delaware Flip FAQ
The questions founders ask us most before restructuring for the US market.
A Delaware Flip is a restructuring that makes a Delaware C-Corporation the top holding company of your group, replacing your Swiss (or other) entity at the head of the cap table. US venture capital investors typically require this structure because they are most familiar with Delaware C-Corps and the investor protections available under Delaware law.
It typically takes six to sixteen weeks from kickoff to completion. Tax planning and shareholder coordination are the most significant factors, especially if you have a large cap table. We give you a realistic timeline in your free initial call.
No. In the standard structure, your Swiss entity becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the new Delaware C-Corp. Your Swiss operations, contracts and employees remain in Switzerland; the Delaware entity simply sits above it as the holding company and the entity through which you raise US venture capital.
All existing shareholders exchange their Swiss shares for shares in the Delaware C-Corp on an agreed ratio. Existing option plans are typically rolled into a new Delaware equity incentive plan. We manage the entire cap table migration so every stakeholder's position is preserved and properly documented.
Yes — a Delaware Flip has Swiss, US and potentially other tax consequences that depend on your specific situation. We work alongside your tax advisor (or can refer you to one) to ensure the restructuring is structured efficiently. We flag the key issues upfront so there are no surprises.
We offer flat-fee packages for the core Delaware Flip process. The price depends on the complexity of your cap table and IP situation — we scope and quote in writing before we start. Book a free call and we will give you a clear estimate within 24 hours.
