Legora is the defining legal AI startup

Max Junestrand (@MaxJunestrand)

Legora went through @ycombinator in W24. I know firsthand how hard it is to navigate legal as an early-stage founder.

Today, @CooleyLLP is launching Cooley GO Lab using the @WeAreLegora Portal, bringing their knowledge and workflows directly to YC founders, so legal needs can move faster.
