DON'T SPEND MILLIONS AVOIDING LEGAL
WHEREAS, we're founders and startup lawyers ("we"), we've seen too many founders stall in diligence, burn equity, and get stuck in legal hell because of small mistakes early on. It's to be expected when there's no standard approach to legal for startup founders. We're building a simple set of guides and tools so early stage founders can navigate legal with confidence. We also run the world's first direct-to-user legal AI.
Standardizing legal starts with a standard eval for corporate health, splitting compliance into 5 categories to sanity check regularly:
Structural - A correctly incorporated, investible entity with proper governance records
Financial - Explicit shareholder agreements, stock plans, and securities compliance
Operational - Required filings and documentation for HR, IP, and tax
Commercial - Clear and defensible agreements with external parties
Special - Industry-specific compliance with certifications, insurance, and policies
Automating this sanity check on company documents helps to flag potential issues early, automate diligence preparation, and make legal exploration straightforward and affordable. We encourage using real lawyers early and often, and we provide warm intros to startup-specific lawyers in every domain. Our goal is to save early-stage founders 50% on their legal bill, and prevent $1B of mistakes every year.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, Seed stage and YC founders are invited to try the beta.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, we're in the Mission, SF. Reach out if you're local, we like meeting founders.
