We’re founders and startup lawyers. We've seen too many good companies scramble through diligence, burn equity, or get stuck in legal hell because they didn’t get their docs right.

Premise is an app we built to help startup teams run a sophisticated company at startup speed.

It starts with a simple protocol: five areas every founder needs to get right.
Mastering these early prevents the legal messes that surface when it matters most.

① Form and Govern the Company - Incorporation, board consents, state registration, etc.

② Track Ownership and Funding - Investor docs, option pools, 409A valuation, etc.

③ Paper Relationships and IP - Offer letters, contractor agreements, IP assignments, etc.

④ Protect the Business - NDAs, MSAs, Terms of Service, etc.

⑤ Stay Compliant - Taxes, SEC filings, technical certifications, etc.

Our app wraps this framework into a legal OS for startups, featuring:
· Legal AI specialized to venture-backed startups
· Attorney-drafted document templates
· Automatic health checks, filings, and alerts
· Quick access to top startup attorneys

If you're a curious and serious founder, drop us a note.
