AI for Legal DD
October 21, 2025
by a professional-advisory from Queen's University in Toronto, ON, Canada
Hello All - My team and I have just raised our seed round at a $2.3M pre-money valuation. We're aiming to build the AI Due Diligence Platform for M&A, and we're starting with Legal DD.
The goal is simple: to automate the hundreds of hours of manual work that goes into reviewing contracts, verifying IP ownership, and flagging change-of-control risks. We want to turn a multi-month long, high-anxiety process into a 7-day, data-driven review.
For the searchers in this community, this means you could potentially:
- Cut your legal DD costs by 50%+.
- Avoid catastrophic "busted deal" fees.
- Evaluate more targets, faster, and with more certainty.
We're in the early stages and are looking to partner(for free) with a handful of funded searchers to help shape this platform. My question for the community is:
- What is the single most frustrating or time-consuming part of the Legal DD process for you right now?
We're looking to build a solution that solves a real, burning problem, and your insights would be invaluable. We have raised $230k to solve your problems.
If you're interested in being part of our early design group, feel free to comment below or shoot me a DM.
Best,
Daniel Edgar
