US United StatesLegal tech, pre-seed2025
Harborlight
A contract-review MVP for a legal tech startup founded by two former corporate lawyers, built to validate the product before a pre-seed round.
MVP Development →The challenge
The founders knew the manual contract-review process well but needed a working product, not just domain expertise, to convince investors and early law-firm pilot customers.
Our approach
- 01
Scoped the MVP to a single contract type, standard NDAs, rather than attempting general-purpose contract review out of the gate
- 02
Built a clause-flagging workflow lawyers could review and correct, framed as an assistant rather than an autonomous reviewer
- 03
Delivered a working pilot environment for two mid-size law firms before the round closed
