Funding rounds, option schemes and cap tables without the law firm
4.6From ~£49/moBest for UK and European early-stage companies and their investors
Cap Table Legal Automation SEIS/EIS
Overview
SeedLegals, founded in London in 2016, turned early-stage legals into software: funding round documents, SEIS/EIS advance assurance, EMI option schemes, agile SeedFAST advance-subscription raises and a live cap table, all on subscription instead of billable hours. It now sits behind a large share of UK early-stage rounds. For VCs investing in the UK, portfolio companies on SeedLegals close cleaner and faster, with standard documents your counsel already knows.
