Melvin Yuan — Building Stellar → The Next-Gen Back-Office for High-Growth Founders ➕ Helping SEA Founders Expand to the US 🇺🇸🚀, San Francisco, CA, United States | Saywise
Apr 2023 — Present · Palo Alto, California, United States
We help other founders operate their companies, by providing a single point of contact 💁♂️, for all their back office operations including company formation, compliance, FinancialOps (like accounting and bookkeeping), and PeopleOps (including payroll, hiring, benefits etc.)
Think of it as a VP of Ops or an Ops Manager — as a service.
Stellar is also a single source of truth 💡 for the company.
Most founders have important company data and documents all over the place, and they don’t have time to organize them well. So — each time they do something new, like due diligence for a fund-raise, or form a subsidiary company, or apply for insurance, they have to spend precious time, under tight deadlines — to assemble the information.
Stellar pulls in information from multiple sources, keeps a thorough record of the company’s operations— and synthesizes the info to get what needs to get done, done.

Intelligence and perhaps more critically - Intellectual Humility - exert a profound, invisible influence on much of our endeavors as a species. These — combined with other qualities including emotional and adversarial quotient — are critical to personal and organizational growth.
