Needs a lawyer to tell you HOW to fill the forms or WHY it matters

$3,000+/year
ChatGPT
To tell you whatever you want to hear, even when it's horribly wrong

BigLaw
BigLaw
Congrats! Cleaning up your "free" sh*t made their bill even bigger!
$800-2,000/hour
Multiple software subscription fees + $15,000-$50,000/year in lawyer time to use them correctly and clean them up...
+ the mistakes you don't find out about until later
and get a better version of all of them.
The reality:
The time your lawyer spends just getting access to your tools and getting oriented often costs more than a year of Aegis.
And that's BEFORE they find the mistakes you didn't know you made.
Aegis replaces the whole stack. Processes, not templates. Verified, not hallucinated. Lawyer-in-the-loop, not DIY.

PROCESS MATTERS
Aegis' legal processes construct documents unique to the scenario;a template is a form of document built for someone else.
(This is what you pay lawyers to clean up - if they know how.)
Document Generators fill TEMPLATES (Clerky, Stripe Atlas, etc.)
- •
Trash in, trash out
- •
Founders do all the signing and filing work
- •
You have no idea what you're signing
- •
You have no idea what other documents need to exist first
- •
You have no idea whether you created a security requiring registration
- •
You have no idea how to execute next steps like option exercises
- •
You have no idea whether what you just signed was legal
- •
You have no idea why or whether to accept proposed changes
- •
You can't intelligently negotiate it on your own
- •
You have no one to get on the phone and talk about it
Founders make costly mistakes without realizing it.

HOW IT WORKS
Upload your mess. We'll make it investor-ready.
400 duplicate documents? Half-signed contracts? Misfiled SAFEs? Our AI + legal logic sorts, validates, and organizes everything—like a diligence attorney, but in minutes. Human-in-the-loop means hallucination-proof.
- 1
UPLOAD
Drag in everything you think MIGHT be legal. (Or just email it to gc@story.law)
- 2
ANALYZE
Aegis checks what's legally effective, like whether the necessary parties signed
- 3
DEDUPE
Everything gets deduplicated and the signature pages get combined.
- 4
ORGANIZE

- 5
VERIFY
Elite attorney reviews anything flagged as unusual. No hallucinations, ever.
BigLaw will bill you 8-25 hours at $800-2,000/hr for data room organization - and that's after you took more time than that organizing it for yourself
Aegis: Included. Savings: $5,000+
CAP TABLE
Aegis builds your cap table based on legally-effective documents.
It's no longer the founder's job to go update two different terminations in Carta and keep them in sync. Aegis does what you'll otherwise pay a lawyer to do at investment time.
- ✓
Who owns what
- ✓
Vesting schedules
- ✓
Conversion terms
- ✓
Exercise history
Click any row to see the source document. Export lawyer-ready Excel for diligence.
Why is this better than Carta?
Carta tracks what you tell it. Aegis verifies what your documents actually say. With cap table software, you still pay lawyers $5,000-10,000 to verify accuracy. With Aegis, the verification is built in.

LAWYER-IN-THE-LOOP
“I'll just ask ChatGPT.”
Here's why that's a $1,000+ mistake.
ChatGPT (and other AI)
- ✗
Doesn't know YOUR business context
- ✗
You don't know what question to ask
- ✗
Gives the answer you want, not the answer you need
- ✗
Legal reasoning requires process, not just logic
- ✗
No way to verify if it's hallucinating
- ✗
"Should I sign this?" is the WRONG question
Common failure:
You ask: “Is this contract okay?”
ChatGPT says: “Yes, the terms look standard.”
Reality: Standard—for the other party. You're signing away rights you don't even know you have.
Aegis
- ✓
AI + humans who know YOUR company
- ✓
We know what questions to ask YOU
- ✓
Elite lawyers verify everything AI outputs
- ✓
Processes designed by specialists, not general AI
- ✓
Human-in-the-loop = hallucination-proof
- ✓
We'll tell you the RIGHT question: "Sign, walk, or negotiate?"
How Aegis handles it:
You ask: “Is this contract okay?”
Aegis: “What's your leverage? Who's the counterparty? Here's what I'd push back on—and here's when to walk away.”
The biggest problem using AI for your lawyer: you don't know the right question, and it doesn't know how to determine the right answer.

SPECIALTY MATTERS
You wouldn't have your dermatologist do your open heart surgery - so why do you have your commercial lawyer doing your stock issuances?
Most fractional GCs only have one area of training—they're guessing at the rest. Aegis gives you the heart surgeon answer for your heart surgery questions and the dermatologist answer for your mole questions. If you need the procedure, we'll help you hire them efficiently.
Enterprise AI
An Enterprise AI commercial contracting specialist with decades of privacy and security training designed our enterprise AI processes.
Venture Capital Financings

Employment Experts

Commercial Contracting

Product Counsel
A privacy specialist advises on data protection, a fintech specialist advises on banking compliance, and an insurance specialist advises on Insurance tech.
We have thousands of specialists. Aegis learns from all of them in their specific area of expertise.
(We even filed a patent on this process.)

FAQ
Q: What if I already have a lawyer?
Aegis makes ANY lawyer less expensive. It organizes and focuses the right information in the right way. Keep your BigLaw firm—you'll just spend less on them.
Q: What if I already paid for Clerky/Carta?
Cancel before you renew. Grab any 409A you can before the subscription ends, and start using Aegis to run the right process rather than spending on lawyers' bills to clean up Carta. It feels like a sunk cost - but you're not done spending.
Export your documents from Carta (Settings → Export → All Documents) or Pulley. Upload to Aegis. We'll build a diligence-ready data room in 24-48 hours.
Links:
• Carta export guide: [link to carta.com export help]
• Pulley export guide: [link to pulley.com export help]
Q: Is this actually hallucination-proof?
Yes. Human-in-the-loop means elite attorneys verify anything AI does. We have a policy page on this: [link to /policies].
Q: What's the difference between Admin, Signatory, and Assistant seats?
Admin (3 included, then $99/seat): Full access, can incur & pay bills, add users, trigger automations, ask lawyer wisdom
Authorized Signatory ($99/seat): Can execute documents, ask lawyer wisdom—routes to Admin for billing
Assistant (free unlimited): Can upload docs, prepare contracts—routes to Admin or Signatory for signing
Q: Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No long-term commitment required.
