Raad Ahmed
Raad Ahmed is the founder and CEO of Lawtrades, a New York based marketplace that connects companies with freelance lawyers and paralegals. He started the company after law school with the idea that legal work should look less like a big-firm invoice and more like a product you can order on the internet. Lawtrades has raised roughly $12M in venture funding, employs a team of about 42, and runs on a global network of vetted legal talent. Ahmed is also the founder of LeanFi and an angel investor. He records music, makes videos, and skateboards on the side.
Priori
Priori is a New York legal technology company that helps in-house legal departments find, hire, and manage outside counsel and flexible legal talent. Through a vetted marketplace, data-driven RFP software, and an AI assistant called Scout, Priori turns the messy, relationship-driven process of buying legal services into something measurable - cutting outside-counsel spend and search time for clients ranging from startups to the Fortune 500.
Basha Rubin
Basha Rubin is the CEO and co-founder of Priori, a legal marketplace that uses data instead of firm letterhead to match in-house teams with vetted outside counsel. She started the company in 2013 straight out of Yale Law School with classmate Mirra Levitt, at age 25 and with no business or technology background. A decade later she has raised more than $20 million, built a network spanning the $800 billion legal-services market, and become one of the most recognized voices arguing that how companies buy legal help is broken and fixable.
