The problem
California charitable registration is the filing most nonprofits do not realize they need.
The rules are scattered across statutes, agency forms, and outdated guidance pages, which is why so many California-active nonprofits never realize the requirement applies to them.
If your nonprofit solicits charitable contributions in California, the state generally expects registration with the Attorney General before solicitation begins.

Why Mitos
Built like infrastructure, delivered by hand.
Statute on every line
Every determination in the founder workflow traces to verified California source material.
Deterministic engine
The Python rules engine runs the same legal logic every time. LLMs do not decide what a filing requires.
Human review on every package
Every output is reviewed by hand before delivery.
Built from firsthand experience
Mitos exists because this workflow was painful, manual, and scattered for small nonprofits.
MitosWhere this is goingStructured compliance intelligence for the nonprofit sector.
Mitos starts with California charitable registration. Long term, the same structured approach can support renewals, state-by-state obligations, and integrations for the platforms nonprofits already use.
Origin
Why Mitos exists
Mitos was built after firsthand work navigating California charitable registration at a small nonprofit. The workflow felt like it should be structured software - verified, citable, transparent - and instead it was scattered across agency instructions and guidance pages.
Today, every package is reviewed by hand before it ships. Every engagement teaches the engine. Every output is grounded in primary sources, not AI inference.

Honest answers
Is this legal advice?+
No. Mitos provides structured compliance information grounded in California source material. Mitos is not a law firm and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
How is this different from services companies?+
Mitos is a software-grounded concierge service: deterministic rules first, founder review before delivery, and one direct intake call instead of a sales process.
How is this different from a generic AI tool?+
Generic AI tools can invent citations. Mitos keeps legal determinations inside a deterministic rules engine backed by verified source material.
What if my situation is unusual?+
Edge cases are flagged during intake and review. If something falls outside the v1 scope, Mitos tells you clearly instead of pretending everything can be automated.
What does this cost?+
There is no public price on the v1 site. Apply and we will follow up directly.
What about annual renewals?+
Initial California registration is the v1 focus. Annual renewal preparation is future scope.
What if California rules change?+
The rules engine is versioned. Source changes are tracked and reflected before founder-reviewed delivery.
How is my data handled?+
Your intake data is used to prepare your founder-reviewed package. Mitos does not train AI on customer data.
