I might face the decision of incorporating soonish. My current plan was to just incorporate in my country of residency (Germany) as that's the easiest route. How hard is it to migrate an existing company to Dalaware-C (D-C) which seems to be the gold standard for venture backed startups? Or is the recommended way just becoming a D-C from the getgo?

I'll gladly take tax cliff notes on being incorporated in the US as a non-US citizen starting a business. Basically if it doesn't screw me tax wise I wouldn't mind incorporating as a D-C from the getgo. US taxation seems a bit scary and I don't think it's all that easy to research. Would love some advice from Germans/people not living in the US that are incorporated in the US.

Between the recent "legal papers" post from YC and this it seems like it's never been easier to do the non customer facing stuff of a startup. Very good as this is something I'd worry about way too much.
