yuriy_zaremba··on Ask HN: Would you replace your SDRs with AI at 10% of the cost
Got it. Thank you!
yuriy_zaremba··on Ask HN: Would you replace your SDRs with AI at 10% of the cost
Thank you! Very valuable input!

What about complex enterprise-ish products that need some explaining, like contract management tools or ERP or HR software?

yuriy_zaremba··on Ask HN: Would you replace your SDRs with AI at 10% of the cost
Thank you! Can you please elaborate a bit more on (1) what were the key issues with the "bad" SDR and (2) what did the "good" SDR do, that you liked and AI can't yet do.

Thank you for helping out!

I am sorry for the confusion. SDR stands for Sales Development Representative. Those are the most junior sales team members, whose main job is to reach out to prospective customers and offer them some service or software with a goal to schedule a conversation with a sales representative.
yuriy_zaremba··on Applications Are Now Open for YC Startup School – Starts in January
YC Startup School became our ticket to YC. It helped us get all our ducks in the row and really focus on growth for the first time since we founded AXDRAFT. We applied to YC two times before SUS to no avail, but after we got into SUS and managed to get to 20%+ MoM growth there, we got into YC.

The software behind SUS is amazing. Even now after YC, I report our metrics to SUS software, because it keeps you accountable and shows you very clearly how you are doing.

I recommend YC SUS to all startups that ask me for advice and if you want to get into YC - start with SUS.

Thank you for sharing this. Frankly, I don't think it is very good faith to sell your commercial templates on a launch thread of a product focused on free legal documents for startups, but users will make their choice.

Thanks again for the feedback. We will split this document into two separate agreements.

Thank you for a different point of view.

Thanks for the idea.

Got it. Thanks!

We are planning this, but for now we focus in English.
yuriy_zaremba··on Launch HN: Axdraft (YC W19) - Legal documents for startups in minutes
Working on it. Hope to release it later this week.

Fixed the problem with payment processors already. With the data it's a bit tricky, since almost every website collect some kind of data, so you probably don't need a Privacy Policy if you don't collect any data. Please let me know what you think about that.

Thank you for the comment. We will add option "Other" immediately. Sorry for missing that in the first place.
yuriy_zaremba··on Launch HN: Axdraft (YC W19) - Legal documents for startups in minutes
We will check this and clarify this from the legal perspective. Our attitude is, as I described: everyone can use it. We focus now on getting the best documents, we will definitely have no claims and we will clarify this from the legal point of view.

Thank you for the question. Yes, we plan to go to EU later (London and Berlin being a priority due to high number of startups), but for now we start with Silicon Valley, since the majority of startups are here.

It is true. Clerky operates in the same space, but currently they use different model (pay per document, essentially). We take a different approach and offer legal documents for free, but want to use this to become the first point of contact for startup legal work. We will monetize by offering tailor-made automation of contract workflow and follow-up legal advice on operational legal matters (like a virtual general counsel for startups).
yuriy_zaremba··on Launch HN: Axdraft (YC W19) - Legal documents for startups in minutes
Thanks! We will work on that and will keep you posted.

The documents are governed by US law, so they are useful, if you have a US company or some clients in the US. At the same time, documents, like Privacy Policy are pretty international, so if you are building a SaaS business or an app, you can definitely rely on them.

This is a great feedback! I have never considered this aspect before. I think it makes sense to start some kind of blog on the website to explain legal matters in plain words, which startups can share with investors.

Another point to this is that we focus mainly on contracts, which startups use in their operational activity. I think this part is underserved most severely.

We have SAFE, because it is commonly requested by founders, but I think that Clerky does better job on corporate for now, since they have Board Consent+SAFE+signing+storage.

Thank you for this idea! We will try to fix it.
yuriy_zaremba··on Launch HN: Axdraft (YC W19) - Legal documents for startups in minutes
Will do!

Thank you! Happy to hear that! We will be happy to personalize your documents, if you want to. Just email me at yz@axdraft.com or reach out via feedback button in the software.

Thank you for the feedback. Advisory and vesting agreements are already on our road map. We hope to launch them after Demo Day.

Hi! Thank you for this and sorry for the confusion. The first point was meant to apply only to Rocket Lawyer and Legal Zoom.
yuriy_zaremba··on Launch HN: Axdraft (YC W19) - Legal documents for startups in minutes
Thank you for this feedback. This is really valuable. I believe the confusion started on the first question. After you choose it, you become a contractor in the agreement, not a customer, so many provisions are against you. We will probably delete this option to avoid confusion. We will also improve wordings and use of symbols to improve trustworthiness.

Regarding the editing, you should have received a final Word document with 100% ability to edit it. Preview is just to get a general sense of the document.

Regarding the discount on payments, thank you for the suggestion. We will add this option and we have specifically created a "suggestion" button on the website.

Thank you again for your feedback. It is very valuable! We will fix everything and let you know (if you want to).
