Why did we build Peach?
We built Peach to solve the problems we experienced when working for accelerators, investors, high-growth companies, and law firms.

We're solving the painful communication gap between lawyers and companies, and we know that this pain is driven by outdated business models for early-stage legal support.

Who do we work with?
We work with proactive, humble Founders who are obsessed with their customers and their employees. We particularly enjoy supporting first-time and underrepresented founders.

We specialize in companies with <$10m in annual revenue or <40 employees, and we've supported clients in nearly every industry.
Heart on a wishlist.
How is our model better?
We've built a flat fee model so Founders always know how much they are going to spend before we start working on a project.

We provide education and clarity in every email and conversation. We translate complex legal implications into business advice.

We help Founders achieve peace of mind through our full-lifecycle approach. Most firms are project-driven—but we take the long view and help Founders look around corners and prepare for the future.

Why have a business expert in-house?

Most legal questions come hand-in-hand with business questions.  Having a former investor and current C-level business executive on the team means that we're able to answer questions like whether a term sheet is reasonable from both a legal and business perspective.

It also means that our holiday parties are more fun! 💃🕺

Do I really need to like my lawyer?

A few years ago, pretty much everyone would say "No." However, we're excited to be living in the year 2023 🥳

As harped on in Venture Deals (the startup Bible), the lawyers you choose to surround yourself with are a reflection of you and your company when working with investors & customers. When you don't trust your lawyer to make a good impression, it puts a bad taste in your mouth and investors can feel it too.

While it may be easiest to think about your lawyer as a black-box that sends you documents, we can promise it's a win-win-win when you're supported by a team that shares your values.

Aren't big law firms more expensive because they're better?

Porsches are much faster than Jeeps (if you don't believe us, ask a Partner at a traditional law firm how fast their Porsche is). However, Jeeps are purpose-built to scale treacherous mountains.

The same concept applies when working with a law firm—the more expensive car might be faster, but it comes with a lot of unexpected fees and won't necessarily get you to the top of a mountain faster (and it certainly won't be faster if the driver is headed in the wrong direction).

As founders ourselves, we understand that startups need to run lean, so we focus on the critical basics necessary to scale mountains without the additional bloat.

How many lawyers work at Peach?

One! This means that you won't be handed off between team members and we can truly get to know you.  We also don't rack up legal bills training new associates—luckily for you, we've already been trained on someone else's dime 😉
