Company mission

To make legal paperwork as easy and painless as possible by building software to handle the mundane clerical tasks.

Our take

Navigating legal paperwork, especially for new startups, is often a messy, intricate, and time-consuming process. Clerky steps in to streamline and expedite this procedure, providing emerging businesses with a more efficient way to complete their legal documentation.

Founded by two attorneys who recognized the challenges faced by new startups, Clerky's solutions aim to help companies save on legal costs by minimizing the time and effort spent on paperwork. Notable startups such as Coinbase, DoorDash, and Instacart, along with a strong presence among Y Combinator startups, attest to Clerky's popularity and effectiveness.

While Clerky has successfully established itself in the niche of new startups, its continued success will hinge on ongoing expansion and product development, ensuring its ability to compete with formidable counterparts.
