How to Build a Low-Code Legal Tech Start Up (Chad Sakonchick – BetterLegal)

<p>Chad Sakonchick is a serial entrepreneur.</p> <p>After a stint selling computers for Dell, he launched his first technology company: an early SaaS platform that allowed users to easily create websites.</p> <p>From there, he launched an app that took online orders for food truck owners and then he launched Spacesift, which he describes as Airbnb for event spaces.</p> <p>Spacesift did fine, but he didn’t find startup traction until a few years ago when he convinced a lawyer buddy to let him automate the creation of LLC documents.</p> <p>Using automation apps like Zapier, project management software like Asana and online form apps like Webmerge, Chad built the automation and his friend loved it.</p> <p>It worked so well, the two decided to launch BetterLegal and while they have graduated to a more sophisticated backend, as we will hear, they are still building the company on a low/no-code philosophy using platforms like Bubble.</p> <p>After hearing Chad’s backstory, you would think he most certainly would end up pursuing a career in law. While in college at the University of Texas he worked as a paralegal at his dad’s law firm. After that, he landed a job with an early legal tech company that digitized deposition transcripts. But alas, his heart was not in pursuing a career as a lawyer. His passion is entrepreneurship.</p>
