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.
