About this episode

Jessica Hubley discusses the innovative legal solutions provided by Story LLP for startup founders.

Most founders don't need another lawyer. They need a better system.

Not that founders lacked intelligence. They lacked exposure to the legal playbook. They didn't know what kind of lawyer they needed. Or what needed to happen next. So she built Story. "Story.law is your expert General Counsel - fear no legal!" Aegis transforms your mess wherever it lives today - bringing AI and human legal experts together Cap table. Data room. Pro forma. Document intelligence. Built on top-tier lawyers' logic. Not software that asks founders to think like lawyers. Software that brings lawyer logic directly into the workflow. Because founders shouldn't be paying thousands of dollars for lawyers to operate software. "A cap table is math. Software is better at math than lawyers." The goal isn't more legal spend. It's spending less on lawyers - and getting an equal or better result. Organized before diligence. Prepared before fundraising. Deal-ready before the deal. The future of startup legal isn't replacing lawyers…
