>if any member leaves.

This brings up a very interesting issue under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, that is without an Operating Agreement in place that allows a Member to resign their ownership, the Delaware Law is controlling and does not allow a member of a multi-member LLC to withdraw (resign their interest) prior to dissolution and winding up of the company. One may be able to get the other member(s) to consent in writing but at the point someone wants to leave, good luck getting the other(s) to sign anything.

Edit: it doesn’t appear the Stripe Atlas LLC comes with an operating agreement; therefore, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act is controlling and a Member would not have the right to resign their interest prior to dissolution.




The Stripe Atlas LLC does come with an operating agreement which contemplates members leaving.


> it doesn’t appear the Stripe Atlas LLC comes with an operating agreement

I'm 100% sure it does. The description talks about things like being split into 10,000,000 units, for example, which is definitely not in the Act.


Yes, after Patio11 replied I clicked on the guide and there is reference to a stock operating agreement drafted by Orrick.

Their Operating Agreement is drafted so the resigning member would require unanimous consent of all the other members to resign.
