Flatfee (flatfeecorp.com) is a Palo Alto-based startup that helps businesses go global without setting up an office in every country. Through a managed marketplace of vetted local vendors, it bundles company formation, trademark and IP registration, bookkeeping, tax and VAT compliance, payroll, HR and e-commerce store setup across 58+ countries into one flat-fee platform. Founded by former international lawyer Ning Zhang, it targets e-commerce sellers, startups and entrepreneurs who need to operate cross-border in compliance without the usual translation, engagement and referral headaches.
Droit is a New York-based computational law and regulation technology firm founded in 2012 by Brock Arnason and Satya Pemmaraju. Its patented Adept platform translates dense regulatory text into precise, executable logic, embedding compliance directly into the trading workflow so banks can evaluate the permissibility of a transaction in real time - before and after the trade. Used by some of the world's largest financial institutions for pre-trade and post-trade decision-making, eligibility, reporting and auditability, Droit processes tens of millions of inquiries daily. In March 2026 it was acquired by FIS, folding computational compliance into the core of capital markets infrastructure.
