Lemide was founded by operators who lived the pain of building startups from scratch: navigating government filings, banking hurdles, compliance deadlines, and credential management while trying to ship product.
We built Lemide to be the partner we wished we had: one team, one point of contact, handling everything behind the scenes so founders never have to choose between moving fast and getting it right.
We handle sensitive operations (banking, credentials, compliance filings) with the discretion and rigor your startup demands.
From Canadian federal and provincial filings to U.S. state registrations and international compliance, we navigate the regulatory landscape across 5+ countries so you don't have to.
We embed with your team, not above it. Every decision is designed to let founders focus on building the product while we handle the rest.
These aren't aspirational slogans. They're the operational standards we hold ourselves to on every project.
We move fast because startups demand it, but never at the expense of compliance, accuracy, or quality.
Our clients trust us because we earn it every day through clear communication and honest counsel.
We build repeatable processes and durable infrastructure, not one-off fixes that break at scale.
A streamlined engagement model designed for speed and clarity.
We learn your business, stage, and operational gaps through a focused intake call. No questionnaires, just a conversation.
We scope and execute your operational buildout: entity setup, banking, compliance filings, tooling, and access governance.
We transition to an ongoing retainer, monitoring deadlines, managing renewals, and scaling your ops as you grow.
“I built Lemide because I saw too many brilliant Canadian founders burning out on operational busywork (government filings, banking setups, compliance deadlines) instead of building the products the world needs. We exist to carry that weight so they don't have to.”
We primarily work with Canadian early-stage startups across industries, from pre-seed to Series A. Whether you're a solo founder or a small team, we specialize in getting your operational foundation right so you can focus on growth. We also support founders expanding into the U.S.
Most entity formations and basic operational setups are completed within 2 to 4 weeks. More complex multi-province, cross-border, or international filings may take longer, but we always provide a clear timeline upfront.
No. We complement your existing advisors by handling the day-to-day operational execution (filings, credential management, banking setup) so your legal and financial teams can focus on strategy.
It starts with a discovery call to understand your needs. From there, we scope a buildout plan covering entity setup, compliance, banking, and tooling. Once launched, we transition to an ongoing retainer for monitoring and scaling.
Security and discretion are core to our work. We use enterprise-grade access management, encrypted credential storage, and strict need-to-know protocols for all client data and sensitive operations.
