Fund Formation Attorney

The company you’ll join

We exist to make investing in the private markets as easy as Robinhood did for public stocks.

We built a TurboTax-style workflow for investors to only see the questions that matter to them and see every question that matters to them to make fund closing (i.e. the process of investing into a private fund) easy. Our world record document completion time is 6 minutes.

That may sound boring but we've processed billions of dollars for thousands of investors in just the past 6 months. And by having an investor run through our workflow, we capture their identity so we can allow them to repurpose it wherever they'd like in the future. We call this an investor passport and it's the whole reason we built this business.

The impact you’ll have

As our Fund Formation Attorney you will own the relationships with our law firm partners.

• Lead complex fund‑formation launches on Passthrough—translating legal terms, waterfall models, and jurisdictional nuances into scalable workflows.

• Design our Legal Success Program—playbooks, health scores, and legal‑feedback loops that become our internal standards for each partner.

Success means accelerated fund launches, law firm partner satisfaction via surveys, and referenceable law‑firm logos.
