SUMMARY:How Multiple Pivots positioned Checkbox as the Legal Front Door for Corporations
DESCRIPTION:Some startups fail because they pivot too late. Others fail because they pivot too often. The rare ones survive long enough to pivot intelligently and catch a market wave at exactly the right moment. Join us for a candid fireside chat with Evan Wong (Co-Founder & CEO of Checkbox) on how multiple pivots — plus years of bootstrapping and persistence — positioned Checkbox at the forefront of the fast-growing legal AI industry. Checkbox recently raised $23MM in funding from top investors\, and counts top corporates as customers\, like Hitachi\, SAP\, PepsiCo\, and more. \n❯ You’ll leave with: \n\nA framework for evaluating pivots\nReal examples of what didn’t work\nHow positioning unlocked enterprise traction\nLessons from bootstrapping before raising capital\n\n❯❯ RSVP now at https://fi.co/startupwebinar/23325 to get your link and join us live! \n❯ Featured Speaker: \n\nEvan Wong – Co-founder & CEO @ Checkbox: Evan began building companies at 17 and co-founded Checkbox nearly a decade ago to help non-technical teams automate complex workflows.

Evan is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and LegalTech CEO of the Year\, and recently led Checkbox’s $23M Series A to scale its product\, AI\, and global team. Evan began his company-building journey at seventeen and has been recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and LegalTech CEO of the Year. As CEO\, Evan leads Checkbox’s strategy and execution\, guiding the development of its legal intake\, automation\, and reporting platform used by in-house teams globally.\n\n❯ About Checkbox:\nCheckbox is the AI-powered Legal Front Door for in-house legal teams.

We’ll be ready. \nWe look forward to meeting you! — Jeni & Lucas \nHosted by Founder Institute\n❯❯ This is a live\, interactive online event\, so be sure to RSVP at https://fi.co/e/396040/meetup to receive the Zoom URL to join us live! \nInterested in the SF/OAK program?\nOur upcoming Spring cohort starts soon!
