About LawyerClock

LawyerClock was created by a couple of twenty-something entrepreneurs in the Boston area, part of a venture-backed startup that's out to change the world. We created LawyerClock to show you how incredibly expensive your calls & meetings with lawyers really are. Some might call us modern day Robin Hoods of the startup world.

We were shocked after racking up over $100k in lawyer fees for our angel & Series A financings. Since then we've become supporters of using standard documents for Angel and VC rounds. A simple angel investment shouldn't cost $15k or more and a Series A shouldn't cost $100k or more.

We suggest reading the following articles for more information
