GirişimlerNet, the startup community run by Fırat Demirel, opened its 2021 webinar series with a session on setting up a company in the United States. The speakers were Vircon Legal Managing Partner Erdem Mümtaz Hacıpaşaoğlu and Boğaçhan Ilıca, both introduced as members of the Clemta team. The session was streamed live on YouTube through StreamYard and relayed to Clubhouse; GirişimlerNet published its write-up on 6 February 2021.

- What Clemta does and how hard it really is to set up a company in the US
- What is needed to incorporate, and moving an existing Turkish company to the US
- Getting help with the EIN, and the alternative service providers
- How many companies are formed in the US, and the states other than Delaware that can offer advantages
- What follows incorporation, and how a US company is closed down
