"Huh interesting - had no idea Harvard offered something of this sort. But I've heard from a couple friends who went to grad school there that Harvard actually offers a lot of help for "startup" type ventures for their students/alum - don't recall if it's an incubator of sorts or similar.
I found this all quite fascinating because after my senior eng. capstone project at a UC school one of the teams got into a lawsuit with one of the academic sponsors. Definitely no startup type help/services offered. Surely similar things happen at Harvard/other schools though around i.p. related stuff all the time though"
Lol, wrote the above out before actually doing a websearch for Harvard Business Services - turns out it's not affiliated with the university and is just a service/company in Delaware. No knocks on the service was just confused on the name - was curious how they'd maintain a presence outside of Massachusetts...

^ This all the way.
Just follow their official docs. https://corp.delaware.gov/howtoform/
At a high level:
1. Search your company name to make sure it is available. https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/Ecorp/NameReserv/NameReservat...
2. Pay a registered agent (say, Harvard Business Services). You will need this for the next step.
3. Fill out LLC Formation document. https://corpfiles.delaware.gov/LLCFormation.pdf
4. Submit completed form to their document upload service. https://corp.delaware.gov/document-upload-service-informatio...
Not legal advice.

hahaha. i do that all the time. write some draft and then research it only to find out i was totally wrong.
i was confused by the name too. now you got me thinking how they managed to not be sued by the university.
that's an interesting story. sucks getting into a law suit so early on.
and ya, i wonder if school incubators try and lay claim to ip rights.
