Summary
SeedLegals, the legal platform that set out to make fundraising simpler, faster and cheaper for startups, has closed a €3.6 million Series A funding round. Since the launch in 2017, over 7,000 startups have signed up to SeedLegals to manage the entire fundraising process and all related legal documents. Anthony Rose, co-founder and CEO at SeedLegals, commented: “Our focus is on helping to simplify fundraising, and we’ve had an amazing response from startups who find the whole process quite painful. The goal of SeedLegals is to empower all parties with data and a modern technology platform, letting them focus on building the business and serving their customers.” Hannah Seal from Index Ventures who joins the board with this round commented: “SeedLegals is making the complex process of fundraising straightforward for everyone involved. The ambition is to expand the same model to other areas of business, helping startups retain legal budget for strategic work rather than administrative execution.” SeedLegals was founded by serial entrepreneur Anthony Rose, known in the tech industry for his work launching BBC iPlayer, and successful VC and angel investor Laurent Laffy, whose own portfolio includes consumer brands such as Graze and Secret Escapes.
