Checkbox
Checkbox is an AI-powered legal service management platform that acts as the 'AI Legal Front Door' for in-house legal teams. It captures legal requests from channels like email, Slack, Teams and Salesforce, automatically triages and routes them, resolves routine work such as NDAs and contract approvals through self-service and AI agents, and escalates complex matters to attorneys. Built on a no-code, drag-and-drop workflow engine, it gives legal departments a single place to capture, manage, automate and measure their work. Founded in 2016 by Sydney classmates Evan Wong and James Han, Checkbox serves 100+ enterprises including SAP, PepsiCo, Hitachi, Telstra, Woolworths and Xero, and raised a $23M Series A in January 2026 at a reported $100M valuation.
Streamline AI
Streamline AI is a San Francisco-based legal technology company building an AI-powered intake, triage, and matter-management platform for busy in-house legal teams. Founded in 2020 by former DoorDash counsel Kathy Zhu and ex-Google product leader Julian Wimbush, it replaces email threads and spreadsheets with no-code workflows, automated routing, and real-time metrics so legal departments can move faster and prove their impact. The company has raised about $14M total, including an $8.6M Series A, and supports 500+ in-house lawyers at companies like Gusto, 8x8, Acorns and Bloom Energy.
Kathy Zhu
Kathy Zhu is the co-founder, CEO, and general counsel of Streamline AI, an intelligent intake and workflow automation platform built for in-house legal teams. A former first commercial lawyer at both Medallia and DoorDash, she built Streamline AI to solve the bottleneck she lived through firsthand - legal teams drowning in unstructured requests with no metrics to prove their value. Born in Shanghai and raised across four continents, she trained as a corporate lawyer at Wilson Sonsini before deciding that the tool she wished existed was worth leaving a dream job to build.
