HUGE news: we're so proud to announce that @Clearbriefai now integrates with @LexisNexis! This is a partnership we have dreamed about since I founded the company in 2020. You might know that the Clearbrief platform in Word automatically analyzes your document to detect citations and display the source in the righthand side of Word. Clearbrief does this for both factual and legal sources, and now LexisNexis legal research subscribers can link their subscription to view any legal source right from Lexis - while drafting in Clearbrief. Clearbrief is used to find factual evidence to support any idea you need to bolster in your writing, as well as: - create instant hyperlinked timelines - turn those timelines into Verified (hyperlinked) demand letters and statements of fact -instantly create a Table of Authorities, exhibits for filing, and hyperlinked pleadings for secure filing with the court and clients. And critically: Clearbrief also gives you an AI score that flags where your writing may not be supported by the case or statute you cited, and highlights bad citations to fake cases. We believe that checking over the cited law and evidence has to be simple and quick, or attorneys may not do it thoroughly. Our platform in Word helps ensure your firm will never file a pleading with a made-up case. With this integration, Lexis subscribers can now seamlessly click on the displayed case from within Clearbrief. If they want to dig deeper into the legal research, they can click to continue their legal research journey inside the Lexis platform. Can't wait to share the good news with our amazing legaltech community at @legalweek - come say hi to me at the Clearbrief booth! #lawtwitter #appellatetwitter #genai #litigation #legalresearch #law #scotus #ai

Last night Humans Anonymous went live in the App Store. Today we ranked #1 for Health & Fitness in the App Store charts. I love seeing mental health apps top the charts… especially when it’s ours! Here’s the story 🧵👇

Being a founder is hard AF. You’re not alone. Excited to announce our partnership with Brex to support founder mental health. Founders Anonymous is a weekly anonymous meeting for founders to share their struggles, get advice, and support each other. Here’s my story 🧵👇

The last two years left us locked down and burned out. It doesn’t have to be this way. We were meant to explore the world –– but the infrastructure around us was built for a reality that’s never back. We’re changing that. Join us at wander.com

Forget politics. Here's why placing a premium on hiring and promoting diverse candidates is good for your business. 🧵 x.com/AuthenticVC/status/138…

There's a belief out there that attempts to promote diversity in hiring must be rooted in political ideology. In fact, there's a strong case that it's in the pure business interest of companies to increase hiring and promotion of black, Latino, and Indigenous candidates. 💸💸💸

A non-diverse team with non-diverse leaders will struggle to identify, recruit, hire, and retain talented people from diverse backgrounds. A diverse team with diverse leaders doesn't have that weakness.

3⃣ Younger generations are more diverse and value diversity more highly than older generations. Having a diverse workforce and leadership makes your company more desirable for younger customers.
You're an early-stage founder. You're pitching an investor. What's the most important thing the investor is evaluating? You. authenticventures.medium.com…
For every black family in the US, there are about 5.7 white families. For every black family in the top 1 percent of earners in the US, there are about 89 white families in the top 1 percent. We wrote about the shape of economic disparity (with graphs!): authenticventures.medium.com…
