Overview
Work Experience
Cofounder & CEO
2021 - Current
Tome decodes contracts with generative AI. I cofounded Tome because I hate contracts, and I _really_ hate "contracting." We transform the opaque, mystical legal process into a transparent, empowering experience for everyone. Proudly backed by SignalFire, Quiet Capital, Moxxie Ventures, Uncommon Capital, Shrug Capital, 20+ angels, and at least one former Solicitor General.
Tome is an AI that summarizes contracts for angels and VCs.
