Investors and founders all too often see legals as a necessary evil. SeedLegals is changing that, thinking about how to get better solutions for all parties. In this episode of the EIS Navigator, we talk to SeedLegals Founder, Anthony Rose, about what they are doing and how they have developed over the past few years.
We discuss what the aims of legal documents really are, how investors and founders should think about them and how they are involved in a kind of social engineering. We also chat about how good legal documents can help solve problems and the mistakes that investors and founders make when creating them.
SeedLegals is still a relatively new business, so we also discuss product development, how the company balances automation and customisation, and how playing the long game is paying off for them.
