A working AI company gave Jay Madheswaran revenue, customers and a reason to stay put. He changed course anyway, bringing a builder’s habits to the paperwork of plaintiff law.

At Prezi, he learned the numbers. At InVision, he made a movie. At Apollo, he built a 60-plus-person machine. Now Eve's CMO is applying an old lesson to legal AI: the playbook must fit the product.

He learned speed at Facebook, company-building at Rubrik and pattern recognition at Lightspeed. At Eve, Jay Madheswaran is betting those lessons can give plaintiff lawyers more time for judgment - and less paperwork to drag behind them.

The Harvard-trained lawyer left consulting, started Blueshoe in a Boston-area coffee shop, and kept changing the product until one stubborn problem came into focus: legal help moves much slower than the question that starts it.
Blueshoe is an AI-native law firm that pairs licensed attorneys with proprietary legal reasoning software to make quality legal help affordable and always-on for individuals and small businesses. Founded in 2025 by Harvard Law graduate Casey O'Grady and MIT-trained engineer Kai Yee Wan, the Y Combinator-backed company started as a legal-reasoning research platform piloted at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia law schools, then extended into a full-stack firm covering employment, housing, consumer, personal injury, and product-liability matters without billable hours.
CloudLex is a New York-based legal technology company that builds cloud-native case management software purpose-built for plaintiff personal injury law firms. Its platform runs a PI practice end to end - from client intake and matter management through medical records retrieval, client communication, e-signatures, and settlement - and layers in Lexee AI for demand drafting, medical summaries, and 24/7 client assistance, plus human-powered paralegal services. Founded in 2015 by Dev and Sudhir Shrotri, the company positions itself as a single ecosystem for personal injury firms rather than a generic legal tool.
