Join us for Demo Day!

[LexLab](lexlab.uclawsf.edu) has partnered with the [Justice Technology Association](https://justicetechassociation.org/), [gener8tor](https://www.gener8tor.com/), [Village Capital](https://vilcap.com/), and [Dream.org](https://dream.org/) to host a groundbreaking accelerator program supporting startups committed to increasing access to justice.

Our Demo Day event will feature the eight justice tech startups in our 2024 accelerator cohort presenting their products to a panel of investors and justice tech evangelists. The startups will be competing for a $10,000 prize pool sponsored by LexLab and Dream.org.

The event will also feature law students from UC Law San Francisco's "Building a Justice Tech Startup" course, who will get the opportunity to pitch their startup ideas to our panel of judges.

Food and drinks will be served on the Sky Deck following the presentations!

The startups in this year’s Justice Technology accelerator program are:

**[Advocord](https://www.advocord.com/)**
Advocord is built for Advocates — guardians, conservators, POAs and others — who have responsibility for the well-being and finances of an adult dependent with age-related cognitive decline, traumatic brain injury or intellectual disabilities. By focusing on educating lay people in fiduciary roles, and promoting the preservation of rights of the person at the heart of the protective arrangement, Advocord is advancing its mission to increase the quality of life for our most vulnerable individuals.

**[Brightwayz](https://www.brightwayz.org/)**
Brightwayz is a comprehensive digital platform dedicated to connecting vulnerable communities with critical services and resources. Our mission is to simplify access to essential services for diverse populations—such as individuals experiencing homelessness, students, and justice-impacted communities—by providing a robust, verified database of nonprofit, public, and private opportunities. Through our platform, users can easily discover legitimate services tailored to their needs and register for eligible programs directly through our platform.

**[descrybe.ai](http://descrybe.ai/)**
descrybe.ai is a singular way to search for, and understand, caselaw. Our unique process leverages generative AI to make complex legal information more accessible to professionals and laypeople alike. We are laser-focused on easy access to caselaw research, by lowering cost (it's free!), increasing ease of use, and employing natural language search and summarization capacity.

**[kosigner](https://www.kosigner.com/)**
Kosigner is a risk model backed platform that aims to improve housing quality for marginalized populations by co-signing for renters with low to no credit or criminal records. Our mission is to help property owners and managers divest the risk of helping people that might normally be denied by more accurately identifying non-traditional low risk renters and then providing the coverage needed for properties to welcome their most loyal tenants.

**[OpenProBono](https://www.openprobono.com/)**
OpenProBono aims to provide legal information in a faster, easier, and more affordable way. We offer an Open-Source web and mobile AI-powered platform where users can ask questions, verify information, and discover resources to address their legal issues. By prioritizing safety, our software is built to be trusted, support ethical legal research, and foster collaboration among AI and legal experts in pursuit of fair and equal justice.

**[Redo.io](https://www.redoio.info/)**
Redo.io helps government agencies identify folks in the carceral system who are harshly sentenced for low-level offenses and maybe eligible for second-look case reviews under justice reform laws such as Prosecutor Initiated Resentencing (PIR). Our goal is to help advocates, researchers and decision makers connect the dots between people and policy interventions that can benefit them.

**[Thurgood](https://askthurgood.com/)**
Thurgood uses AI to provide legal services to the 160 million annual victims of arbitration-eligible claims. Our client intake product saves attorneys over 200 hours per year, with a take-rate up to 14.4x higher than phone-based evaluations. And with the tap of a button, plaintiffs can use their evaluation to auto-generate the paperwork needed to self-file their claim with the state and federal agencies that offer out-of-court arbitration services that don't require an attorney.

**[We Decide](https://wedecide.ca/)**
We Decide is an innovative Justice Tech Platform that employs dispute avoidance technology, automation, and empathy to help separating and divorcing couples to sort, and solve the financial and property complexities of divorce. Founded by Wanda Butler, We Decide embraces a client-centric approach to divorce that will simplify the financial & property division process, offer an accessible delivery method, and increase access to effective tools and resources for separating couples.
