A lawyer who gets it
For when you just need something off your hands and done.
Finding the right lawyer to help you is not easy.
Many startups we speak to have received bad legal advice at some point, often from lawyers. Start-/scaleups simply do not need the same things as more established companies and it requires specilized knowledge to get them right.
We have a partner who will actually help you.
- With rapid turnaround
- On pre-negotiated (by us) fixed pricing (including long term discount)
- Using the StartupTools Standard & Documents to ensure scalability and ecosystem adoption
The StartupTools Standard
Not your average online templates.
The StartupTools Standard is the result of many hours of hard work to find the perfect balance between what founders, investors and other parties considers both fair and tolerable.
We spent this time to learn from, and teach, the market so you don’t have to.
Using our standard significantly simplifies negotiations.
Designed to be accepted by everyone in the ecosystem.

Testimonials
It makes it so easy to keep even a complex share registry, sort out new share issues, warrants and stock options. And it really does it all correct, you can trust it.
Now I also use their materials for my angel investments, makes things so easy.
I also use their platform for the digital share registry, and it is really the best one out there.
CEO @ Cusetellence
The platform has given us the agility, time- and cost savings any growing company needs. I recommend this to all startups.
We used the platform and StartupTools Shareholders’ Agreement to do our own merger recently. It was great.
We thought it was too strict and changed it. Then a founder left and it is still a mess. The original clause would have been so much better for everyone, not the least for the company itself.
With the help of StartupTools, Elastisys has been able to achieve lean processes for board meetings and shareholder meetings. Their service has also been essential for creating and managing our employee stock option programs. All for a fraction of what you would pay legal advisors.
I warmly recommend StartupTools for all startup founders, no matter whether this is your first or nth company.
