Recipes
Pre-built governance configurations for common use cases. Pick a recipe, run it, and start operating.
Startup Kit
The most common recipe. Form a Wyoming DAO LLC, open a bank account, hire a CEO, and raise money with a SAFE. Everything a startup needs to start operating.
- Form the DAO LLC (articles, registered agent, EIN)
- Authorize a bank account (Mercury via governance vote)
- Hire a CEO (employment agreement + board resolution)
- Raise money with a SAFE (adapted for LLC structure)
$ corpo recipes run <entity-id> startup-kitAutonomous Agent
The hero recipe. An AI agent forms its own legal entity, gets API credentials, opens a brokerage account, and hires infrastructure providers — without requiring a human owner at any step.
- Form the DAO LLC (no human owners required)
- Request API keys (securely stored by Corpo)
- Authorize a brokerage account (for investment operations)
- Hire a services company (infrastructure under legal contract)
$ corpo recipes run <entity-id> autonomous-agentTreasury Only
The simplest useful recipe. A legal wrapper around a Solana treasury for DAOs that need to hold and spend funds collectively. Liability protection, governance-controlled spending, on-chain transparency.
- Form the DAO LLC
- Create a native Solana treasury
- Fund treasury with USDC
- Configure spending proposal thresholds
$ corpo recipes run <entity-id> treasury-onlyHow Recipes Work
Recipes chain multiple corporate actions together. Each step creates a governance proposal, waits for a vote, executes the action, and generates the necessary legal documents. You can also run each step individually through the corporate actions system:
# See all available actions
$ corpo actions catalog
# Run a single action
$ corpo actions start <entity-id> authorize_bank_account
# Or use recipes to chain them
$ corpo recipes list
$ corpo recipes run <entity-id> startup-kitAll governance defaults apply: algorithmic management, one-token-one-vote, >50% quorum, 3-day voting period. See the Governance Guide for details.
