By forming your startup on Clerky, you're setting it up with lifetime access to best-in-class software, products, and support.
Every startup is different. Our software makes it easy to customize the key terms of the legal paperwork you're working on. If you need, you can even customize the underlying form language for nearly complete flexibility.
We're much more than fill-in-the-blank forms. With Clerky, you can easily loop in your attorney to have them review and comment on the information you're entering. Add your co-founders to your team so you can all stay on the same page and get legal paperwork done together.
Trusted by Experts
"We keep close tabs on the services our clients use, and Clerky is uniquely focused on making sure that things are done correctly — that's really important for avoiding expensive problems down the line."
"When Y Combinator funds an unincorporated startup, I send the founders to Clerky and know everything will be done correctly."
"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. From what we've seen with our clients who have come to SLS post-formation, there's no other online service that is as effective at helping founders avoid problems with due diligence."
