Realizing we were selling to students with limited funds, we shifted our focus to building a product for companies to help them identify the right developers based on skills.

I started Atrium, a technology-enabled law firm for startups, to solve the legal challenges I faced as an entrepreneur.

Our initial idea was to create a suite of applications for law firms, but we pivoted to a marketing application for all businesses.

The trend of LLMs and AI is creating numerous new dev tools, but entering this market requires a clear differentiation strategy to stand out among many competitors.

The launch of Co-Counsel led to overwhelming demand, with our servers going down and an inability to hire support and sales staff quickly enough, which is a sign of real product-market fit. We built an AI Legal Assistant that acts like a new member of the law firm, capable of reading millions of documents and summarizing findings, which significantly extends the workforce of law firms.

Happenstance, founded by a former Apple AI researcher, leverages advancements in vector databases and LLMs to enhance search capabilities beyond traditional text search, allowing users to connect with relevant people more effectively.

We initially tried to create a user-generated content site for lawyers to annotate case law, but it failed because lawyers are too busy to contribute their time.

AI tools for lawyers are becoming increasingly viable, allowing for the automation of legal work and the potential for creating the largest law firm on the planet.

In my startup, we built a drag-and-drop visual editor to help non-technical users create surveys easily, solving a common problem for website owners.
