Stephen Trusheim

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.
