Gaining Momentum

Justpoint addresses a significant inefficiency in the legal system (plaintiff compensation) with a viable AI-driven model. The project demonstrates strong institutional traction via a verified $50M credit facility and backing from credible industry figures (e.g., Clover Health CEO), positioning it well above early-stage concepts. However, the submission itself suffers from low-quality user input (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience), which contradicts the niche nature of legal tech. This disparity between the verifiable business legitimacy and the poor submission quality results in a score that reflects a 'Comparable Scale' to established players but is penalized for lack of accurate self-reporting.

Description
When a plaintiff receives a payout to indemnify them for their loss, their law firms take a big cut. This, plus misleading marketing practices by law firms, makes it so plaintiffs never receive the full compensation the justice system determined they deserve for their claim. Justpoint (1) finds the best law firm for each plaintiff based on data, not ads, and (2) focuses on offering lower contingency fees by increasing automation.\n\nJustpoint is an artificial intelligence company backed by investors who also backed startups such as Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) Flatiron Health ($2.1B exit), Zoom ($135B market cap), Chime ($5.8B valuation), and Carta ($3B valuation).\n\n\nLearn more about Justpoint:\n\n* https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-startup-justpoint-raises-1-million-in-seed-funding-2020-9\n* https://www.businessinsider.com/clover-health-ceo-backs-ai-startup-justpoint-2020-9\n* https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210624005007/en/Justpoint-Secures-a-50-Million-Credit-Line-to-Level-the-Playing-Field-for-Plaintiffs\n* https://businesslawtoday.org/2021/05/how-law-firms-can-thrive-in-the-post-covid-19-world/\n* https://thriveglobal.com/stories/with-victor-bornstein/
