I had a quick question for you. I'm looking to add myself as an officer (Secretary) to XLR8 AI. I'm leasing a business vehicle with the company but can't sign off on it since I'm not an officer. Currently, my cofounder is both CEO/President and Secretary. The dealership needs to see my name on the CA Secretary of State website. Do you know the process for this? I'd imagine a board resolution followed by filing some form with the CA Secretary of State?

PROCESS MATTERS

Aegis' legal processes construct documents unique to the scenario;a template is a form of document built for someone else.

(This is what you pay lawyers to clean up - if they know how.)

Document Generators fill TEMPLATES (Clerky, Stripe Atlas, etc.)

  • •

    Trash in, trash out

  • •

    Founders do all the signing and filing work

  • •

    You have no idea what you're signing

  • •

    You have no idea what other documents need to exist first

  • •

    You have no idea how to execute next steps like option exercises

  • •

    You have no idea whether what you just signed was legal

  • •

    You can't intelligently negotiate it on your own

Founders make costly mistakes without realizing it.

Aegis Processes RUN OPERATIONS

  • ✓

    Right document for your specific situation

  • ✓

    Guided completion with context-aware questions

  • ✓

    Timing and sequencing built in across every step

  • ✓

    Cross-checks against your existing legal file

  • ✓

    Board consent automation where needed

  • ✓

    Cap table updated automatically

  • ✓

    Human attorney review ready for anything custom

Founders can't accidentally skip critical steps.

HOW IT WORKS

Upload your mess. We'll keep it deal-ready.

400 duplicate documents? Half-signed contracts? Misfiled SAFEs? Our AI + legal logic sorts, validates, and organizes everything—like a diligence attorney, but in minutes. Human-in-the-loop means hallucination-proof.

  1. 1

    UPLOAD

    Drag in everything you think MIGHT be legal. (Or just email it to gc@story.law)

  2. 2

    ANALYZE

    Aegis checks what's legally effective, like whether the necessary parties signed

  3. 3

    DEDUPE

    Everything gets deduplicated and the signature pages get combined.

  4. 4

    ORGANIZE

    Files are renamed, categorized, diligence-ready, shareable.

  5. 5

    VERIFY

    Biglaw-trained attorney reviews anything flagged as unusual. No hallucinations, ever.

BigLaw will bill you 8-25 hours at $800-2,000/hr for data room organization - and that's after you took more time than that organizing it for yourself

CAP TABLE

Aegis builds your cap table based on legally-effective documents.

It's no longer the founder's job to go update two different terminations in Carta and keep them in sync. Aegis does what you'll otherwise pay a lawyer to do at investment time.

  • ✓

    Who owns what

  • ✓

    Vesting schedules

  • ✓

    Conversion terms

  • ✓

    Exercise history

Click any row to see the source document. Export lawyer-ready Excel for diligence.

Why is this better than Carta?

Carta tracks what you tell it. Aegis verifies what your documents actually say. With cap table software, you still pay lawyers $5,000-10,000 to verify accuracy. With Aegis, the verification is built in.

LAWYER-IN-THE-LOOP

“I'll just ask ChatGPT.”

Here's why that's a $1,000+ mistake.

ChatGPT (and other AI)

  • ✗

    Doesn't know YOUR business context

  • ✗

    You don't know what question to ask

  • ✗

    Gives the answer you want, not the answer you need

  • ✗

    Legal reasoning requires process, not just logic

  • ✗

    No way to verify if it's hallucinating

  • ✗

    "Should I sign this?" is the WRONG question

Common failure:

You ask: “Is this contract okay?” ChatGPT says: “Yes, the terms look standard.” Reality: Standard—for the other party. You're signing away rights you don't even know you have.

Aegis

  • ✓

    AI + humans who know YOUR company

  • ✓

    We know what questions to ask YOU

  • ✓

    Biglaw-trained lawyers verify everything AI outputs

  • ✓

    Processes designed by specialists, not general AI

  • ✓

    Human-in-the-loop = hallucination-proof

  • ✓

    We'll tell you the RIGHT question: "Sign, walk, or negotiate?"

How Aegis handles it:

You ask: “Is this contract okay?” Aegis: “What's your leverage? Who's the counterparty? Here's what I'd push back on—and here's when to walk away.”
