The Standard for Online Startup Formation
By Bahiah Noor
Clerky is an online legal service built to help startups avoid the typical problems caused by other online services or low-quality lawyers.
It was founded by Chris Field, who received his JD at Upenn`s law school, he worked with Orrick, Herrington Sutcliffe, LLP from 2005 to 2011 advising emerging companies, public companies, venture capital firms and investment banks.
Today, Clerky is the standard for online startup formation. Unlike other online services, Clerky focuses exclusively on startups, as opposed to regular small businesses. Customers have raised an aggregate of over $5 billion in seed financing using Clerky fundraising products. They’ve gone on to raise venture capital financing from just about every leading venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, achieving billion dollar valuations and acquisitions. Clerky is the online service most used by successful founders, and most recommended by top-tier startup attorneys.
Clerky spends a ton of time going far beyond what other online services do. They outline the steps to follow when incorporating your business, where to start, what might go wrong etc. Instead of blindly putting automation around forms, they do extensive legal research to ensure language works in the context of automation (and vice versa). And they build features that help startups and startup attorneys work together more effectively, so that startups never have to choose between efficiency and safety.
