Our take
DISCO is a legaltech leveraging cloud computing and AI to enhance compliance, dispute resolution, and investigations, thereby optimizing outcomes for legal teams and their clients. its suite of tools, including case builders, review platforms, and e-discovery solutions, is designed to minimize errors and better align with established legal practices compared to traditional e-discovery tools.
In response to the growing need for independent brands to reduce reliance on major tech platforms for customer acquisition, DISCO was founded. This initiative comes at a pivotal time as businesses increasingly shift online, driving up the costs associated with acquiring customers through digital channels. Consequently, brands are actively seeking alternative methods to expand their customer base.
DISCO has experienced significant growth as a result of this demand, boasting a clientele of approximately 1,000 firms, including a majority of the prestigious Am Law 200.
