Fundraising

Growth

“As a serial entrepreneur, venture capital partner, and startup attorney over the past 20 years, I know first-hand how difficult it is for a startup to obtain high-quality legal services at reasonable, predictable rates. Foregoing legal counsel puts a startup at risk, while unexpected high legal bills make it extremely hard to plan for growth and manage a budget. In building NEXT we believed there had to be a
better way.”

What our Clients Say

“NEXT has made raising outside capital affordable and eliminated the unpredictable costs of the fundraising process. I found the Legal Fundraising Package included strategic guidance on managing the fundraising process and contained all the documents I needed to handle my equity round at a fraction of the cost of traditional law firm hourly rate pricing.”
Andrew Hoppin,

“As a first-time entrepreneur, I found NEXT to be a great value not only for the startup legal services I needed but for the connections to the business service providers and other ecosystem partners, too.”

"Since our earliest days, Shulman Rogers has been a trusted and capable partner for Doctor.com. Their NEXT platform afforded us access to a full range of legal talent and services for significantly less than the cost of hiring an in-house general counsel. This was particularly valuable in the early years when budgets were tight and our legal needs were diverse. Since then, NEXT has been able to scale with us as we’ve grown, supporting the business through multiple financings and ultimately a successful exit."

"NEXT has been there every step of the way to help guide us through our seed round. The team has been fantastic!""
