Our take
Genie AI is a machine learning startup with a mission to open source the law. Its platform automates the drafting and review of legal contracts through workflow tools and AI. Companies on Genie no longer have to pay £5000 to a law firm for their contract, but can pay Genie a cheaper monthly fee instead.
Genie is not just AI - it works with a marketplace of top tier lawyers, combining the best of human and machine intelligence to deeply understand contracts. Its state of the art deep learning, private and explainable machine learning algorithms have been developed in conjunction with professors at Imperial College, UCL and Oxford University, and the team have published papers in top NLP conferences with Oxford University. The company most recently partnered with The University of Bristol to provide free legal contracts for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Genie is already becoming a leader in the legaltech industry, having been selected on multiple government trade missions, mentioned in parliament by the Secretary of State for Justice, and backed by world leaders such as Lord Neuberger, the former President of the Supreme Court. It is very well positioned in the generative AI market that is expected to be worth around $110B by 2030.

After a long career in an aggressive sales environment it was really important for me to work with nice, kind & compassionate people on a common goal! I was sure I had made the right decision during the interview process but it was certainly confirmed once I started!

When I joined Genie I was an expectant father. This prompted them to quickly draw up and include me in a paternity policy that was incredibly generous. It's because of this kindness that I have been present for so many wonderful moments throughout the first 2 months of my child's life.

As the sole growth manager / marketeer right now - it's my job to define, track and own my own customer acquisition targets each quarter. It feels truly autonomous yet doesn't feel isolating (even when working from home). That's because I know I have the full support of the wider team whenever I need it, and they know they have mine.
