Funding rounds that cause founder burnout from dragging on and distracting them from running their business 3. Bad dynamics with investors and strategic blindspots because of poorly run board meetings 4. Deals getting stuck in legal review from having no redlining support, no in-house lawyer, off-market terms of service and clunky legal operations We help you fix all of these and level up (legal) rigour and structuring in your business to close new customers and funding rounds FAST by: 1. Ensuring you have your own terms of service that are fit for purpose in the US market, tailored to your product and services 2. Stopping founders from wasting their valuable time having to review and negotiate contracts themselves (we connect you with vendors that can do that instead, faster!) 3. Helping you hire the right first in-house lawyer and implement fast legal operations so contract negotiations are fast and simple 4. Connecting you with the right vendors, law firms and advisors for the stage of your company growth 5. Sorting out cadence and quality of your board meetings to ensure you maximise outputs and strategic support from investors 6. Helping you with employee incentivization that protects your business but rewards top talent and hard working employees 7. Advising on your digital marketing strategy to ensure you are capturing high quality leads that convert
