When starting a new company, it's easy to get overwhelmed by options. So what's a new founder to do?

Thankfully there are more resources than ever for starting a company, but it's also easier than ever to be stuck in analysis paralysis. Based on his experience building Astropad, Matt shares what he thinks are the best options for setting up a company today. 

Matt talks through some of the mistakes he's made setting up Astropad and how he'd avoid them today (Stripe Atlas!). He suggests his favorite tools for the (boring) business essentials like bookkeeping, payroll, banking, and accounting. All of his picks are about minimizing work, so you can get back to the fun parts of building a company. 

And if you're setting up a remote team, hear why Google Apps, Slack, Zoom, and Notion should be your go-to. 

Finally, he also shares his take on going solo vs. having a cofounder, whether remote-first and if he'd bootstrap again.
