Most of the discussion of incorporation on here seems to be focused on Delaware. However, my home state is Washington, and from what I read the corporate laws in Washington are adequate for venture financing as well: http://www.startuplawblog.com/where-to-incorporate/<p>Does anyone have practical experience with this decision? Washington seems cheaper all around, and worst case you reincorporate if an investor requires it...
The main reason is because Delaware has a long history of case law and is preferable to investors. Many here (CA) will typically structure a C Corp in DE and a foreign C Corp in their home state where they operate.<p>I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.
