【Company Overview】 BoostDraft is a legal tech company that develops and provides products to improve the efficiency of creating and verifying legal documents such as contracts. The company was founded in 2021 by engineers from MIT and lawyers from Stanford University, and is now in its 6th year. With overwhelming confidence in our product, we are rapidly expanding, primarily through "word-of-mouth."
