Legal Builders

I bring decades of experience (and a lot of inspiration) to bear on our clients' biggest challenges: Fundraising, go-to-market, partnering and exits. We work closely with founding teams to design and position their product and activate repeatable sales motion, both direct and partner-driven. For fundraising, we help you tell the company's story in a way that attracts and motivates investment.

Trustlayer

Trustlayer is an open-source Blockchain protocol that automates standard non-disclosure agreements. Our goal is to save millions of hours of time spent reading, signing and managing NDAs, and establishing a greater level of trust in business.

Co-Organizer

Trustbot

Trustbot was a pre-LLM prototype of "Non-Disclosure as a Service." Through workflow integrations (Google Workspace, Outlook, Teams, Slack, Salesforce) we were able to predict when an NDA was necessary and trigger execution as needed. By hooking into the team's existing document repository and intelligently mapping NDAs to contacts, Trustbot monitored coverage at the organizational level, based on events like meetings, document sharing and Salesforce actions. With the advent of automated enterprise workflow systems, we wound down the project and open-sourced the IP.

My work focuses on bringing legal tech products to market. I work side-by-side with passionate legal builders, including startups and legal organizations. Each engagement is different, but they usually include product design, road-mapping, piloting, experimenting, tactical marketing, and raising the money to do all of that. 

I also share my first-hand experience in hundreds of partnerships and exits from nearly every perspective: As start-up founder and operator, big-company buyer, VC firm partner, angel investor and startup and M&A attorney.
