Still need a lawyer?
We will get you a great one.

Our standardized templates and platform solves a lot, but not everything. Sometimes one just needs advice, or a tailored setup for a unique situation. 

We can handle that too, with our partner.

We used StartupTools to get started with Match2One, it was awesome.

Now I also use their materials for my angel investments, makes things so easy.
Ted Sahlström
Ted SahlströmCo-Founder of Match2One, Angel Investor
As both entrepreneur and investor I am a long time user of StartupTools, I really like their materials and that they are standardised in the ecosystem. It makes everything fair and easy.

I also use their platform for the digital share registry, and it is really the best one out there.

Our first new share issue I did myself, with lawyers. It took so much time.

The platform has given us the agility, time- and cost savings any growing company needs. I recommend this to all startups.
Tomas Grönqvist
Tomas GrönqvistCEO, Mioo Cycling
Startuptools gave us a great headstart with our paper work. I highly recommend to use the template as a starting point. It gives you a good base line for negotiations and it ensures that most cases are covered. Good job by the team in making things more understandable and structured!

I realise it is odd to add yourself as a testimonial, but I use our platform all the time and love it.

We used the platform and StartupTools Shareholders’ Agreement to do our own merger recently. It was great.
Hannes Rosén
Hannes RosénCEO & Co-Founder, StartupTools
My greatest mistake as an entrepreneur so far was to not follow StartupTools vesting clause for founders.

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.

As a founder, I find tremendous value in StartupTools' templates and services.

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.
Johan Tordsson
Johan TordssonCEO & Co-Founder, Elastisys
The ambitious work of StartupTools simplifies the early stage legal work significantly and often sets the standard for the most common matters.

The digital service facilitates for companies to save legal budgets for more qualified matters where more value is provided
Oskar Belani
Oskar BelaniPartner, Gro Advokatbyrå
We love how easy it is to get things right, and how adapted it is for us who doesn't have complete insight in all the legalities around option agreements, share issues etc.

We have learnt a lot through StartupTools and in addition we have so much better control over our documents, all agreements and the share registry. Everything is now in one place and that feels superb.

On a final note, your support and the level of personal service is extremely good, it really conveys a sense that you truly care about your users and want to get better by understanding our situation.

Anna CronqvistCEO & Co-Founder, Esther's
