Lex
An AI-powered legal assistant for entrepreneurs. Founder closed a $400k pre-seed round within two months of launch. Built in 30 days.
The Challenge
Founders had two options for legal questions: pay $500 an hour or guess. Neither worked. The founder wanted to give entrepreneurs real answers, contract review and document generation without touching a law firm for every question.
The Approach
The product needed three things: an AI chat that could answer plain-English legal questions backed by real legal research, a document upload and analysis system for contracts, NDAs and term sheets, and a library of lawyer-reviewed templates covering the documents every startup eventually needs.
Designed AI chat with suggested prompts covering contract review, LLC formation and IP protection. Document analysis with status tracking across uploaded files. A template library organized by category, business formation, contracts and policies, all reviewed by a licensed attorney.
The Outcome
Lex launched to founders and early-stage startups. The traction was fast enough that the founder closed a $400k pre-seed round within two months of launch. The template library is expanding based on the questions users ask most.
"Investors told me the product quality removed their biggest concern. Nikola made complex legal tools feel approachable. We closed a $400k pre-seed two months after launch, and his design work was a major factor." Claire D., Founder, Lex
