Vinny·AI Legal Assistant

Hey! I'm Vinny, an AI assistant that helps with legal questions. I'm configured with contract templates, compliance frameworks, and practical guidance for common business legal matters. Ask me anything and get clear answers in seconds.

To give you the most relevant guidance, what type of business are you running?

The Problem

Sound Familiar?

Every hour spent confused about legal basics is an hour not spent building your product or talking to customers.

SAFE vs Convertible Note Confusion

Investors are asking questions you don't fully understand. You're nodding along in meetings hoping you don't miss something important.

Potential: Unfavorable terms that cost you equity

Co-founder Equity Disputes

You haven't formalized vesting schedules or equity splits. The longer you wait, the messier it gets.

Potential: Costly disputes or co-founder departures

Incorporation Paralysis

Delaware C-Corp? LLC? You've read 47 blog posts and you're more confused than when you started.

Potential: $2,000-$5,000+ in restructuring costs later

Employment Law Landmines

Your first hire starts Monday. Are they a contractor or employee? What paperwork do you actually need?

Potential: $10,000+ in misclassification penalties
