We are now looking to grow our team and continue shipping!

LexClaro is a multilingual AI legal-tech platform that turns complex contracts into clear, human language for individuals, freelancers and SMEs. Every year, millions of people sign rental agreements, employment contracts, shareholder agreements or service contracts they don’t fully understand. Legal language is slow, expensive to interpret and quietly shifts risk to the weaker side. LexClaro fixes that. Users upload a contract and, within minutes, LexClaro analyses it, summarises the key points and highlights obligations, rights, deadlines and risks — in their own language. No legal jargon, no guesswork, no waiting for appointments. We currently support 8+ languages and multiple contract types, designed for both personal and professional use, with a strong focus on real-world documents: housing, employment, startup equity, services and B2B deals. We’re now in Phase 4: moving from our MVP into a full SaaS web app, including live voice chat for contracts (ask questions in real time, get clear explanations plus a transcript and saved session). Next on the roadmap (Phases 5–6) is LexClaro Business: accounts for teams, role-based access, template libraries, versioning, contract comparison (original vs. edited, with changes and risk shifts clearly marked), bulk workflows and deeper integrations into HR, real estate and fintech ecosystems. The platform is currently in beta with early users testing across multiple countries. We are iterating fast on UX, language quality and legal clarity, using real contracts to improve our flows and strengthen trust. We don’t try to replace lawyers, but to become the first layer of clarity before anyone signs or negotiates — a practical legal “front door” for everyday life and business. LexClaro Global S.L. is headquartered in Spain and built from day one for international markets. On Wellfound, we’re looking to connect with growth, marketing and strategic co-founder profiles who believe in building a global brand around legal clarity.

The problem: Brands spent 20 years optimizing for Google's blue links. Now, 40% of product discovery starts in AI — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews. When someone asks "what's the best CRM for small teams" or "recommend a skincare brand for sensitive skin," AI either mentions your brand or it doesn't. There's no ad slot to buy. No ranking to game. The AI either learned to recommend you, or it recommends your competitor. Most companies have zero visibility into what AI says about them. They don't know if ChatGPT recommends them, misrepresents them, or ignores them entirely. And they have no playbook to fix it. What Ninar does: Ninar AI scans 10 AI engines, scores your brand's visibility (0-100), identifies where you're missing from AI recommendations, generates content optimized for AI citation, publishes it to your CMS, and re-scans to verify the improvement landed. One platform: monitor, generate, publish, prove. We call this AI Visibility Optimization — the layer after SEO. We're not replacing search optimization, we're building the tooling for the next surface where buyers make decisions. Where we are: Bootstrapped and profitable on unit economics. NVIDIA Inception member. Live product with paying customers across SaaS, e-commerce, and fintech. Founder-led out of the US (Research Triangle Park, NC), engineering and ops running remote. Why this matters now: Every quarter, AI answers eat more of traditional search traffic. Gartner predicts 25% of search queries won't return a link by end of 2026. Brands that figure out AI visibility now compound that advantage. Brands that wait will spend 10x to catch up later. We're building the picks-and-shovels platform for that shift.

We're making the protein shaker extinct, and we're looking for people who want to build the category, not just fill a role. The problem: whey requires measuring, shaking, and a bottle that smells by day two, and it physically hurts the majority of Indians who are lactose intolerant. We asked 50+ manufacturers to fix it. All 50+ said impossible. We built it anyway, our latest batch hit 22g protein in just 40ml, closing in on our 24g target, nearly double the density of India's closest RTD competitor, through proprietary formulation nobody else has cracked. This is genuinely early. Which means real ownership, real equity, and the kind of influence over product, brand, and go-to-market that disappears the moment a company gets big. You won't be executing someone else's roadmap, you'll be writing the first draft of an entire category. We want people strong exactly where the mission needs them most: manufacturing and ops execution, or growth and brand-building for a format that doesn't exist yet anywhere in India.
