For startups
Right now, every contract, every grant, every filing stops with you. FinePrint gives you a full in-house legal counsel from $99 a month: it knows your company, runs the legal work end to end, and brings in a licensed attorney when a question needs one — included in the plan.

Three kinds of work carry a company from the charter to the round: the raise, the paper that arrives from other people, and the paper the company has to make itself. All three run against one record — and write back to it when they are done.
Raise
/issue-safe issues on your standard terms and checks side letters against what you’ve already promised other investors. /prepare-data-room assembles diligence from a record that was never allowed to go stale. /close-priced-round and /file-form-d when the round is real. The fundraising endpoints don’t just draft the instrument — they update the cap table and the record after it’s signed, so the next raise starts from the truth.
What a diligence room has to holdReview
/review-contract reads counterparty paper against your positions and against the record of what you’ve already promised, and returns an issue list and a redline. Your own paper — /create-nda, /create-msa, /create-sow, /create-dpa — goes out on your standard terms, gets signed, and files itself in the Legal DataRoom.
The six specialists, and what each one ownsRun
/incorporate through /hire-employee through /grant-options: the offer, the PIIA, the policies, the board consent, the state filing, the 83(b) with its thirty-day clock closed out. Anyone can draft an offer letter. The job is everything around it — and the endpoints run everything around it.
Watch one hire run, frame by frameAnd between your questions, it watches: the record’s Today view names what’s missing, what doesn’t match, and what’s due soon — before it costs anything to fix.
A matter, running
An angel wants to put in $250,000 ahead of the round and sends back a side letter with their own terms in it. The instrument is standard work. The side letter is not — because the answer depends on what this company has already promised two earlier investors, which is exactly the kind of thing a founder is expected to carry in their head.
So FinePrint reads the record first, drafts on your terms, and stops at the one clause it has not been taught. Nothing starts until you approve it.

Northwind Robotics is a fictional company — the one this site uses to show the work end to end. The round is invented. The mechanism is not.
Legal work doesn’t get harder in a straight line — it changes shape. Each stage page names what breaks, what FinePrint runs for it, and a worked matter start to finish.
Stage 01
Get incorporated properly — and stay that way.
The mistakes here are cheap to prevent and expensive to unwind: the 83(b) window, founder stock never actually issued, a contractor who never assigned IP. The record starts here.
Founder — $99/mo
Solo founder & pre-seedStage 02
Diligence tests your record, not your lawyers.
A request list arrives and the company discovers which of its documents disagree with each other. The work isn’t writing new documents — it’s proving the old ones are true.
Growth — $999/mo
Series AStage 03
Volume is the problem now.
A DPA on every deal, a new state each time recruiting wins, a board that expects minutes. Nothing is novel — there is simply more of it than one person can hold.
Business — $2,499/mo
GrowthPast all three? At fifty people and again at five hundred the shape changes once more — a legal function that already exists, procurement on the other side of the table, a security review before anyone signs. FinePrint for mid-market · FinePrint for enterprise
Forty-one endpoints in eight categories. These four carry a company from the charter to the round; the other four — Governance, Commercial, IP and Compliance — sit on the same record and open the day you need them.
The company made real: charter filed, stock issued, the thirty-day clock closed out.
Offers with the right notices for the right state, and everything that follows one.
Grants papered against the plan, the pool and a current 409A — never against a promise in Slack.
Instruments issued on your terms, the round closed, the room built before an investor asks for it.
An endpoint is not a template. /hire-employee is seven documents, a board consent for the grant, a state registration and a calendar that starts counting — one call, finished, with the record rewritten after. That is why the count is forty-one and not four hundred.
Every matter carries a level, and the level decides who touches it.
Standard work with complete facts runs end to end, with your approval. Licensed reviewers score samples of the output continuously.
The matter sits outside what the model has been taught, so it stops. A licensed attorney answers before anything moves — included in your plan.
A financing, a dispute, a regulated question. The specialist takes the matter with the file already built.
At a startup, Yellow is usually one of four things: a founder still employed somewhere else, an investor’s own paper coming back with terms on it, a hire in a state the company has never employed in, or a customer asking you to stand behind something you don’t control. Each one is a real question, and each one gets a licensed human — at no cost on top of the plan.
What review means, precisely: continuous review samples green-lane output — it is not a lawyer reading every document. A lawyer reads your matter when it goes Yellow or Red, and nothing starts until you approve it. The two modes of review
One published number a month, for the company rather than per seat. The founder, the recruiter and the person who actually sends the contract all use it, and nobody is charged for logging in.
Two larger plans sit above those, for companies running several entities or their own policies. Government fees — Delaware, the states, the USPTO — are passed through at cost. Attorney review is part of the subscription rather than a line on an invoice afterwards.
Set against the way this work is normally bought, that lands at around 90% less than a typical retainer. It is an estimate rather than a measured average of our customers, and the arithmetic behind it is published rather than asserted: where the number comes from
For a financing, a dispute, an acquisition or a regulated question — yes, and FinePrint routes those Red, with the file already built: the record, the documents, the history and the issue list assembled before the first call. That is how you spend less on a specialist without getting less from one. What changes is the routine work, which stops being billed by the hour.
You pick the plan for your stage, and we set up your company record with you — you don’t build it yourself. Signed documents you already hold are filed into the Legal DataRoom and the record is built around them. The first endpoint runs the same day.
FinePrint is a legal technology company, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice. The software runs the work; where judgment is required, a licensed attorney reviews the matter or takes it — engaged by you, with the scope shown first and the review included in your plan.
Nothing on top of the plan. When a matter goes Yellow you see the attorney and the scope on screen, and what you approve is the scope — there is no fee attached to it and no invoice afterwards.
The whole team. The plan is for the company, not per seat — so the recruiter sending offers and the account executive sending order forms are both inside it. Per-seat pricing makes companies ration access to their own legal function, and the person who most needs to send the right NDA is usually the person who wouldn’t have been given a seat.
Yes, and that is the normal way to start. Signed documents you already hold are filed into the Legal DataRoom and the Company Legal Graph is built around them — marked as arriving from outside, carrying what we can verify about them rather than what an endpoint observed.
Today then shows you which rows are still missing, which two documents disagree with each other, and what is due soon. That is usually the first useful thing a founder sees, because it is the first time the whole record has been in one place.
The United States — Delaware and the states, the federal filings, and the state-by-state registrations that follow a hire into a new place. If your company is incorporated elsewhere, or you are about to employ someone outside the US, say so early: those are questions FinePrint routes to a licensed attorney rather than answers on its own.
Running your company’s legal work, and nothing else. It is encrypted and company-isolated, with per-document keys, and it is never training data for a shared model — that is the Two-Corpus Rule: OpenLegalLM learns from its contributing attorneys, never from your record. You can export everything or delete it permanently, on any plan, on any day.
Every one of these is cheap to do now and expensive to reconstruct later.
Thirty minutes, live. We run one endpoint start to finish against a company at your stage, and say plainly which plan fits.
