When I began building AI for legal, I didn't anticipate how closely I would end up working with CLOs. Now, after a lot of time spent listening, ideating, testing - I think Iā€™ve got a pretty good feel for what makes them tick. 1. No oneā€™s very impressed with ā€œtransformationā€

We werenā€™t at this conference to competeā€”even though it looks like I took a few shots in the ring. This was Legaltech circa 2013. We were there to focus on our customers, not our competitors. But 7 years later, we were the only ones left standing. Customers > Competition wins

People talk a lot about product market fit in the startup world. But Iā€™d argue founder market fit is equally - if not more - important. Hereā€™s what I mean: - How likely is this founder to succeed in the market theyā€™ve decided to take on? Because although startups are

I recently had an interesting conversation with one of the most successful (and under the radar) founders in the legal industry. His perspective? To win in legal, itā€™s all about creating a better experience, not a better product. Think about it: For most people, the moment we

Thereā€™s a story making its way around foundersā€™ circles and it goes something like this: 1. Usain St. Leo Bolt applies the 85% rule to running. 2. A coach told him to put in less effort and heā€™d get better results. 3. Bam. World champion. Not true. Hereā€™s the real story: All-around

A compelling hot take on humanoids: while the tech is fascinating, the real challenge isn't innovation - it's implementation. Most groundbreaking ideas die in the gap between concept and execution. While I don't know enough about this to assess if it's right or wrong, this piece

Most leaders think they are delegating, but are they actually abdicating? Iā€™ve long believed that even the most high-performing executives often struggle with delegation. Itā€™s not just an art but a scienceā€”one that can be learned, refined, and mastered. Effective delegation,

If you think youā€™re safe in the middle of the packā€¦ you might actually be falling behind. Lawyers and risk managers like to find the center and hold it (weā€™re famously risk-averse by natureā€¦ or maybe necessity?) When tech moved at a slower pace, it was possible to hold that
