Ryan Daniels
Ryan Daniels is the cofounder and CEO of Crosby, a hybrid AI law firm that pairs licensed lawyers with proprietary AI agents to review commercial contracts (MSAs, NDAs, DPAs) in under an hour at fixed per-document pricing. A Stanford Law graduate and former startup general counsel who got tired of being the bottleneck on his own company's deals, Daniels built the product he wished he had. Since emerging from stealth in 2025, Crosby has negotiated more than $1 billion in contracts for clients like Cursor and Clay, and raised about $85.8M from Sequoia, Index, Lux Capital and Bain Capital Ventures.
