Why we’re doing this
Legal help for everyone else.
In 2024, 59% of Americans with a civil legal problem didn’t get a lawyer’s help. Most people with a legal problem never get a lawyer, because a lawyer costs too much. AI could change that, but only if the money and the best minds in legal tech start building for them. That’s why we put so much into this research: every round counted, every price checked, every source public.
