Last summer, I interned at a PE/lending firm. The single biggest bottleneck I saw in both arms of the company was legal. A deal would come together, terms would be agreed on, everyone's ready to move, and then the whole thing stalls for weeks, sometimes months waiting on outside counsel to draft documents that follow the same structure every single time. Meanwhile the other side is sitting there with time to get cold feet, shop around, or just walk away. And the bill for all that waiting? Tens of thousands on a small deal. Hundreds of thousands on a larger one. For documents that are 80% identical across transactions. That's what OpenShut fixes. The platform generates the full document package from the deal terms (loan agreements, promissory notes, security instruments, PPMs, purchase agreements, operating agreements, subscription docs, compliance reports, the whole closing binder), verifies every page against the regulations that govern the transaction, and puts it in a deal room where both sides can review and e-sign. What used to take weeks and cost a fortune now takes minutes and costs a fraction. I built this because I watched real deals die while lawyers were still redlining boilerplate. That's now a thing of the past.
