Our take

Increasing numbers of startups are getting funded in the UK and all require legal help with their financing.

SeedLegals identified a big burning pain: no founder wants to handle a bad fundraising experience because of legals. Previously founders would have to pay a decent chunk of the money they've just worked hard to raise, but the SeedLegals platform has provided a step change in cost.

The focus on a very specific niche (startups) has meant they have built a very tailored product, and word of mouth within startups is strong.

While they primarily focus on helping companies with fundraising, they also offer additional services (e.g. option schemes), and they're in a strong position to expand their offering to other legal needs.

Diversity & Inclusion at SeedLegals

Michelle Keelin (Head of HR)

  • Here at SeedLegals we recognise diverse teams are more effective and solve problems more creatively. The challenge is to create an environment where individuals feel empowered to be themselves and use their diverse talents, backgrounds and characteristics to create positive outcomes for the business.
  • We believe it is critical to create psychologically safe spaces where people can voice ideas and be themselves. To ensure our employee voices and opinions are heard we created our Impact Team, built from volunteers in a variety of roles across the business, to give each person a voice and help structure policies and commitments to diversity and inclusion.
  • Adding to this, in September 2023 we launched our new values, one of them being our commitment to embracing DE&I. 'We embrace diversity and cultivate inclusion'. We commit to DE&I by building it into our hiring practices, training programs, policies, and overall culture.
  • If you would like to know more on our Values, please feel free to reach out to me and I will be happy to talk further.
