Co-Founder & CEO - AI LegalTech | AI-Native Litigation Defence Operations

The Opportunity FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead LucentAI , an AI-native litigation operations venture in build at FutureSight. This offers meaningful founder equity, not a salary. LucentAI serves as an autopilot for medical-records and discovery operations in small-to-mid insurance-defence firms. Embedding in case-management systems, it retrieves and reviews records, flags key facts with confidence links, checks billing reasonableness, and chronologically triages discovery. This human-gated system excludes legal drafting, externalizing review capacity so firms can scale case volume without adding headcount. Market validation through FutureSight’s discovery interviews confirmed strong demand: Operations is the wedge; autopilot is the vision. All buyers wanted managed operations. LucentAI provides end-to-end automation, earning trust incrementally by handling routine work silently while keeping legal drafting human. The pain is in the dollars, not the dashboards. One lead costs the middle phase at ~$1M/year in time and errors; a partner noted only ~$200K of a $1M medical bill was reasonable. With zero AI currently used, the ROI-driven payback case is immediate. Capacity is the ceiling, and the record is the moat. Manual partner review caps case capacity and revenue. Defence records and billing patterns form a proprietary dataset that plaintiff-focused incumbents lack. Market Context We target underserved small-to-mid US insurance-defence firms. The Phase-1 beachhead SAM is $150M–$600M across 1,500–3,000 firms; the full roadmap reaches a ≥$100M obtainable market (SOM ≈ $110M–$360M). With 71% of legal AI funding flowing to plaintiff-focused companies, the defence market remains underserved, creating a need for technology purpose-built for litigation defence and risk management.
