Automating document-based workflows
We're building a SaaS platform that lets legal professionals digitize and automate their document workflows. Our product makes it simple for law firms to create programmable documents that integrate with their existing client services, speeding up legal processes and reducing errors.
We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco is where our team lives and where most potential customers and legal tech talent are. It's the best place for us to build relationships in the legal and tech communities.
