While the inaccessible nature of law gives lawyers a monopoly over legal advice and information, legal tech tools help democratize access to it, by providing businesses and startups access to legal services or information in a swift and affordable way.
Such is true for SeedLegals, a company launched in 2016, with the aim of making it super easy for startups to raise investment and manage company equity — all at a fraction of the cost of traditional service providers.
SeedLegals prides itself as being the world’s first platform that allows founders and investors to easily create, negotiate and sign all the legal agreements they need to do a funding round. The company is said to have reached a significant funding milestone and has closed over £1 billion in investments for its portfolio of startup customers.
