"Clerky is the highest quality online solution for standard company documentation I've seen, especially for startups that are looking to get set up in a way that is ready for financing."
"The difference between clients who arrive to us having used a shitty lawyer v. those who used Clerky is night and day. Well done @darbyw and @chrisfield5. Public service."
"Everyone knows about Clerky for formation already, but their fundraising and hiring products are equally impressive. Some other services claim to have those too, but they end up causing legal problems because the quality isn't there. Building these products correctly requires a skill set that is unique to Clerky."
"There are a lot of online services out there that can quickly create legal documents, but Clerky stands out for combining that ease-of-use with a focus on helping startups get everything done the right way.
