§ 05For founders

Building the future of legal? Talk to us.

We invest in early-stage legal tech and related verticals. We move quickly, we do the work, and we answer every founder.

§ 5.1How we work

Four commitments, in our own words.

(a)
Anything with a use case for legal
“If the product you are building has a use case for legal, we would be interested in taking a look at it.”
We invest in legal tech and related verticals, wherever the end user is a lawyer or a legal team.
(b)
No warm intro required
“The weight we assign to a ‘warm intro’ is essentially zero.”
Reach out directly. We would rather you spend your time on product than on networking your way to us.
(c)
Fast, but thorough
“We will ask a fair number of questions and will review documents.”
We aim to move quickly. A clear deck and an organized data room make that much easier for both sides.
(d)
We don’t ghost
“‘Ghosting’ is not part of our DNA.”
Every founder gets a straight answer. If you haven’t heard back, follow up — we mean it.

§ 5.2What we look for

Unique domain insight
Founders who understand how legal work actually gets done, and where it breaks.
Customer-centric decisions
Teams that build from the lawyer's desk outward, and let buyers shape the product.
Talent-rich teams
Builders who can recruit the engineers and domain experts to redefine a workflow.

§ 5.3The process

1
Send your materials
Email info@grayhair.vc with your deck. A cold email is exactly as good as a warm intro.
2
Questions and documents
Expect a fair number of questions and a document review. A clear presentation and an organized data room speed things up.
3
A straight answer
We aim for quick decisions and communicate them respectfully, whichever way they go.

If you are a founder building the future of legal technology, or just want to learn more about what we are building, reach out.

Founders: no warm intro needed. Ghosting is not part of our DNA.
