Upload your mess. We'll make it investor-ready.
Getting screwed by what you don't know you don't know?
Most founders are.
Stop spending precious cash to get had by a broken legal system. If you got screwed by...
...blowing $47,000 on BigLaw and still don't understand what they did...
...or ChatGPT said your contract was fine, then you found out you couldn't enforce it...
...or used Clerky and Carta, but still needed $15K in lawyers to fix what you did wrong...
...we want to hear your Story, and give you a better ending.
Just ask our clients.

Don't drown in your (totally normal) legal mess.
Story's Aegis platform runs your legal operations — from quick questions to complex transactions — so you spend less time on paperwork and more time building. Expert answers, guided processes, and lawyer review when it counts.
Aegis is the legal operations platform built and operated by Story LLP — a law firm founded by a YC founder and practicing startup attorney.
Repeat founders learned the value of getting legal right from the start - the hard way.
“I spent $350,000 of my exit value fixing stupid mistakes I didn't know I was making - and I paid tons of money to lawyers to do it. Never again. Glad to have Story get things right for me next time.”
