Short version from someone in the middle of doing this:

Get a Delaware-incorporated C-Corp. You don't want any other structure if you want to raise VC money. Delaware is good for tax.

You can do this easily online. Should be $US200-500.

Have a small amount of shares at first. You can change this later. I forget why.

google delaware site:news.yc.com for more info.

If you live outside the US, get a a US postal forwarder. Also handy for the USPTO and getting Apple products without being priced gouged (eg, if you live in Australia or the UK).
