Startup Alley: Litigaze

Litigaze

Elevator Pitch: Litigaze is a modern software platform that enables litigation teams to better understand, communicate and evaluate litigation risk and uncertainty, using a combination of visualization and quantification techniques based on decision science. Using Litigaze, lawyers can stop giving vague and unhelpful “it depends” responses and start showing their clients exactly what they think litigation prospects really look like in granular and numeric detail.

What makes you unique or innovative? Litigaze is different from many other legal tech tools in that it deliberately does NOT use AI/ML or automation. Litigaze’s tools have been developed by litigators, for litigators to use in complex litigation situations, and are the subject of multiple international pending patent applications.

What problem do you solve? Litigaze helps lawyers simultaneously solve the problems of understanding, communicating and evaluating litigation risk and uncertainty, which in turn empowers their clients to make smarter and more confident litigation decisions, like when to settle a case.

Describe any ways in which your company is diverse or promotes diversity. While we have only a small team, we promote hiring freelance developers from diverse backgrounds. In one case, one of our eastern-European developers had to relocate when war in Ukraine started, and we provided financial support during this time.
