Hey all, Excited to launch OpenLegal.FYI today! We had this idea when we were hunting for a startup lawyer and found it difficult to figure out how much startup legal services (incorporation, fundraising, general contract work, etc.) are supposed to cost. When we were searching for a lawyer: 1. We had to take thirty-minute consultation calls with every lawyer (seven of them!) 2. Each lawyer quoted various hourly rates with no explanation We wanted more information to make our decision - but didn’t want to waste time. So we asked more friends and saw interesting insights (some traded equity instead of paying fees, some were able to defer fees until a Series A, etc.). We also saw interest in benchmarking for company dissolution. So, we built OpenLegal to be a trusted website for founders to upload legal fees and create price benchmarks for working with lawyers. Would love to hear your thoughts! - Saketh, Swapneel, and Shreyank

Super cool idea, this is genuinely really valuable info for founders (I see questions like this asked all the time in founder groupchats/forums). Could be a good step towards standardizing more flat fee legal products like Stripe Atlas.

There is a clear pain point in finding lawyers that make sense for your company Excited to see OpenLegal take on this challenge through a transparent platform. Will be useful!

Insanely Valid, Just got billed by my lawyer for a 1 hour phone call where he provided me with no useful information - around our re-incorporation. Now seeing that I'm overpaying. Great stuff!

Much needed, legal fees are so opaque for startups, and end up being such a large chunk of the bill
