Our take
Increasing numbers of startups are getting funded in the UK and all require legal help with their financing.
SeedLegals identified a big burning pain: no founder wants to handle a bad fundraising experience because of legals. Previously founders would have to pay a decent chunk of the money they've just worked hard to raise, but the SeedLegals platform has provided a step change in cost.
The focus on a very specific niche (startups) has meant they have built a very tailored product, and word of mouth within startups is strong.
While they primarily focus on helping companies with fundraising, they also offer additional services (e.g. option schemes), and they're in a strong position to expand their offering to other legal needs.
