Cities are complex, so founders continue inspire and amaze us by identifying new systemic issues and solutions. If you're re-imagining city life, we'd love to hear from you.
Not Interested In
We don't invest in edtech or healthtech. Certainly not a vote on whether we want to see these categories succeed, we just think they need additional focus/skills which we don't have. That said public health is a growing area of interesting.

How to connect with Angel Investors in the LegalTech industry?
In the LegalTech industry, angel investors such as Tim Ferriss, Jason Calacanis, and Naval Ravikant are significant figures. These investors focus on startups offering innovative solutions in legal technology, contract management, and legal services. Tim Ferriss, an author and entrepreneur, invests in LegalTech startups that leverage technology to improve legal processes and client outcomes. Jason Calacanis, an early investor in Uber and Robinhood, looks for companies that provide scalable and efficient legal solutions. Naval Ravikant, co-founder of AngelList, seeks out startups with strong LegalTech capabilities and market potential. To connect with these investors, attend LegalTech conferences, law expos, and networking events such as Legalweek, ILTACON, and Clio Cloud Conference. Utilize platforms like AngelList and LinkedIn to identify and reach out to potential investors. When pitching, emphasize how your LegalTech solution addresses key challenges, such as improving legal efficiency, enhancing contract management, or reducing costs. Highlight any traction you’ve gained, such as partnerships with law firms, user growth, or positive feedback from clients. Building relationships through initial informal meetings or discussions at industry panels can help establish trust with these investors. Demonstrating the impact of your technology through case studies or pilot programs can also add credibility. Personalize your outreach by referencing the investor’s previous investments and explaining how your venture aligns with their interests. Demonstrating a sustainable business model with clear revenue streams, such as subscription fees, licensing, or service contracts, will further strengthen your pitch. Leveraging endorsements or case studies from legal experts can also enhance your credibility.
