How I'm expanding into different verticals after raising series a

EJ: What are you focused on next? After you close out the financing steps that you're

working on, what's the next thing that you're excited about building or doing

with Lawtrades

Raad: It's always doubling down on the product. Because we have such a strong

community with a really open feedback system, our customers tell us what features

they want. So there's the realm of just expanding out the suite of features that we

have. We're definitely interested in potentially offering some SaaS upgrades to what

exists on the dashboard already.

Because we're so integrated, we eliminate the need of using a lot of different software

and tools, because it can all happen in one shot on our platform, whether it's an ATS,

an interview scheduling system, a time logging system, or separate invoicing system-

we connect them all together.

We’ve definitely heard of other ad-ons and potential SaaS upgrades around that.

Over the long-term, I'm really excited about doubling down and dominating within

the legal space, but I think the tools that we're building are really applicable to many

other verticals around this professionals category beyond just legal.

The tools are universal. They're built for knowledge workers that think for a living,

they monetize their brains, they monetize their thoughts. This can apply to people

in finance. This can apply to people in management consulting positions. This can

apply to HR professionals.

If you take out the word Lawtrades and just use the product, it works across

anyone that's looking to become independent. Experimenting and tinkering

with this idea of building even bigger than what we originally thought is really

exciting to me.

As well, the idea of potentially offering a token and experimenting with the

incentives around that and continuing to further drill down on creative ideas

to get more people and more of our users being owners in the company is

really amazing.
