@legistify turned 10 this month :) About 12 years ago, when I was at @bitspilaniindia, I took a small exit from a company I was trying to build. The experience was nothing short of humbling when I realised for the first time how difficult it is to build a company especially when you don’t have access to sound legal advice. I decided I would never let any entrepreneur face what I had to & conceived Legistify. After a year of talking to lawyers & founders, I started Legistify in December 2015 with a clear mission - ‘Make Legal Accessible For All’. My journey continued for a year with Pratik Mohapatra joining in late 2016. We both knew that the industry is nascent, slow in adopting tech but is bound for disruption. Back then even the term ‘Legal Tech’ was alien. So for the next 3 years we kept building for the end user, trying to introduce tech in every experiment we ran. During this time, we built a thriving marketplace of 10,000+ legal professionals, helping incorporate 1000+ companies, file 3000+ IPs, help 5000+ homebuyers seek legal remedies under RERA & more. While legal required human touch, we always thought of us as a tech company. Then one day Covid hit. While many had to shut shop, we stayed resilient & true to our vision. With <6M runway, we thought this was our time to do what we had always wanted to. While courts were shut & no legal activity was happening in the country, we started developing LegisTrak (our flagship SAAS offering) on one side & arranging covid day passes for e-comm companies through our lawyer network to keep the company afloat. This was one of the most difficult times we've seen as founders. It was a tough time for us, but we were lucky to be in the company of some of the best team mates & investors and we all survived it together :) Our product started showing early signs of success - from $0 in 2020 to ~$300K ARR by the next year. From this point, the product kept growing & so did we as founders. We built a razor sharp focus towards solving real customer needs & continued working towards our mission of disrupting legal. The first 2 customers we got onboard, became investors in our company & participated in our future funding rounds. In 2022, we got accepted to @ycombinator , it was nothing short of a dream for us. We closed our Series-A1 the very next year with A2 getting concluded in 2024. Cut to today, we’re proud to have 350+ customers across 4 key offerings (Contracts, Litigation, IPR and compliances) in a highly capital efficient manner with some of the leading investors in the space backing us (@IndiaMART , @TitanCapitalVC , @JavaCapital , GSF etc). Over 5 of our ex-employees have gone to found their own companies which is something that I’m personally very proud. We built the first 10 years creating system of records & sensitising a market which did not exist. But what will unfold in the next 10 years, is going to be miraculous, thanks to AI. @DineshAgarwal @rajeshsawhney @legistify @bitspilaniindia @1kunalbahl @rohitkbansal
