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.

Dynarii is a skill-based stock market gaming platform where players compete using real stocks. Pick'Em contests, 1v1 PvP battles, real performance, real winners. We're building the intersection of fantasy sports and the stock market — a pure competition platform that makes the market the playing field. Problem We're Solving: The stock market is one of the most compelling competitive arenas in the world — but nobody's built a good game around it. Trading apps are too complex and too risky for most people to engage with. Finance education platforms are boring. Fantasy sports platforms ignore the market entirely. Dynarii closes that gap. We give players a way to compete using their market knowledge without any of the financial risk — skill-based, social, and built for competition from the ground up.

Squad Health is solving the number one problem—access—in the $500B specialty medication market. We’re doing this by obsessively solving the root cause of the problem: providers are drowning in dozens of hours of administrative work per week on medications, from benefits verification to prior authorizations to patient assistance. We are solving the problem for providers and, by extension, their patients, by integrating with not only their systems (e.g. EMRs) but with every key stakeholder—payers, pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturers. Our AI platform dramatically increases a patient’s ability to get access to life-changing therapies by centralizing and automating these complex workflows and in doing so we are driving scaled impact for manufacturers who see access as their number one barrier to success. In the near future, a significant percentage of the expensive medications in the US will go through Squad’s platform. Providers will start every prescribing journey by sending the order or prescription to us, and our platform will take over from there. Our belief is that by being the first medication access platform to truly put providers and their patients first, we will transform how they experience the medication journey and eliminate the overwhelming barriers to access that exist today. The proof is in the pudding! We already work with thousands of providers across 40 states and are doubling our doctor and patient footprint every few months. We are backed by world class investors who understand the magnitude of the opportunity in front of us, including CRV, Menlo, Defy, and BoxGroup — we continue to grow the team across every function to meet our ambitions.
