NEW YORK & SILICON VALLEY • Wednesday, October 28, 2026 — Gotavi, a super concierge platform that handles formations, compliance, insurance — including AI insurance — background checks, and payments for founders, business owners, and operators in all 50 states, today announced the acquisition of Avatar Advisors, the founder-services venture built by Inventus Law to serve its global startup clients.
Avatar will operate as a women-led, full-service, AI-native platform for startups, co-headed by Monica Malhotra, Managing Partner at Avatar, and Gotavi co-founder Michelle Miklosey. Together, Gotavi and Avatar give founders arriving from around the world one trustworthy team with decades of experience — to form, bank, run, and grow their U.S. companies.
-
Women-Led, AI-Native Operations: Co-headed by Monica Malhotra (Managing Partner, Avatar) and Michelle Miklosey (Co-Founder, Gotavi).
-
Turnkey U.S. Landing Pad: Flat-fee launch covering entity formation, corporate governance, EIN, and commercial banking setup.
-
Complete Back Office as One Service: Full ongoing administration, monthly accounting, corporate tax, insurance, payments, and payroll.
-
Deep 20-Year Collaborative Foundation: Strengthens two decades of close partnership between Gotavi co-founder Shai Stern and Inventus Law founder Anil Advani.
The Timing Matters: Surging Demand for U.S. Expansion
The timing matters. Roughly half a million new business applications are filed in the United States every month — and the number keeps climbing as AI lowers the cost of starting a company. A growing share of those founders arrive from overseas. What they meet on arrival is a patchwork of separate vendors and disconnected paperwork — and weeks of momentum lost before the company sells anything.
The Concrete Offer: Complete Back Office in One Flow
The offer is concrete: a flat-fee launch covering entity formation, governance, EIN, and banking — and then the whole back office run as one service: administration, accounting, tax, insurance, payments, and payroll. One team, one bill, no hourly meter.
Behind the offer is Avatar's operating team, which has spent years landing global founders in the US: companies formed, bank accounts opened, books kept, tax filings handled, payroll run — led by Monica Malhotra, who runs Avatar's finance and operations.
Gotavi is a super concierge platform serving founders, business owners, and operators. A formation is submitted in minutes instead of days of back-and-forth; every filing, deadline, and document is tracked in one place, with a concierge team behind the platform when a human is needed. A formation site files one document and stops, and a law firm does not run a back office, nor should it. That ongoing operation — keeping every company formed, banked, booked, taxed, insured, and compliant month after month — is the entire business of Gotavi and Avatar.
A 20-Year Partnership: Silicon Valley Meets Concierge Execution
The acquisition marks a new step in a 20-year relationship between Gotavi founder Shai Stern and Anil Advani, founder and managing partner of Inventus Law, one of Silicon Valley's leading firms for technology startups: after two decades of working together — Shai's companies as the concierge behind Anil's firm — the two are now partners.
Executive Vision: Built for the Long-Term Startup Wave
A formation takes a day. What follows is compliance, banking, accounting, tax, and payroll that someone has to run for years — and the founders arriving this year will not wait for the industry to catch up. Avatar Advisors gives Gotavi a white-glove operational arm built for exactly that wave: the team that keeps a company running long after the day it was formed.
