Gemini Summary

A 32-second presenter clip about the address field in Stripe onboarding for non-US founders: why a home address carries risk, why a P.O. Box gets flagged, and what a real commercial street address changes.

Notes

The clip stays on one field of the Stripe onboarding form: the business address, the point where, in its words, most founders freeze. The two addresses people reach for first are the ones that cause trouble there, a home address that puts a personal location on business paperwork, and a P.O. Box, a format payment platforms flag.

The fix it points to is a real commercial street address, backed by the standing guarantee of a full refund when a bank or agency declines the address with written proof within 30 days. The related posts below cover the same ground in writing, including what to do when a Stripe or Mercury rejection has already happened.
