founder - legali ai - stanford law '24
building a trauma-informed companion for women experiencing abuse!apps.apple.com/us/app/lea-by-… San FranciscoJoined September 2026
legal info is a powerful tool for survivors. we built lea for exactly this gap: she helps survivors document abuse safely and turn it into attorney-ready records.
here's why:
→ private by design: zero data retention, and we're moving lea onto our own locally hosted model so nothing people share is kept or fed to outside AI
→ 1,500+ survivors, 25+ institutions, 4.8★
→ team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law + gsb, wharton, harvard med
we'd love the law library community's support:

WE WON THE BEST BOOTH AWARD AT DISRUPT FOR BUILDING A SURVIVOR CENTERED TECH!
FEMTECH AND SURVIVOR CENTERED TECH ARE SO IMPORTANT!
#startup#founder#techcrunchdisrupt2026
this. intimate partner violence is a public health crisis, not a private shame.
that's why we built lea, a trauma-informed companion that helps survivors name what happened and preserve evidence in a pin-locked zero-knowledge vault.
privacy is non-negotiable: lea runs with zero data retention and we're moving it onto our own locally hosted model, so nothing anyone shares is kept or fed to outside ai.
1,500+ survivors, 25+ institutions, 4.8 stars. orgs doing this frontline work, we'd love your support:

congrats on the launch, the mri story is exactly why i believe in this category. caregivers don't need another dashboard, they need an AGENT that actually does the paperwork. here's why vene hits:
→ insurance denials and specialist coordination are pure documentation work, exactly what agents eat
→ the burden falls on family members who already have jobs
we're building the same playbook at lea (@legali_ai), a trauma-informed companion for abuse survivors, our action agent drafts emails and evidence records so survivors don't have to relive it in writing. 1,500+ users, 25+ institutions, 4.8 stars. we need builders and backers who get it. dms open!

@catchback_cards shipping a themed drop right on the holiday is the kind of release cadence that keeps an app sticky. happy halloween pack day! the vaulted + insured angle is smart for trust too, congrats on the launch
the placement-generation-test loop is the interesting part, that's how agent-driven dev should work everywhere. here's why:
→ generate, then VERIFY against the whole run, is exactly how we keep quality when an agent writes the code
→ procedural variety with math beats static assets for the same reason generated tests beat hand-written ones
→ congrats on shipping something this ambitious
we run the same loop at lea (@legali_ai), a trauma-informed companion app for abuse survivors, action agents drafting emails and evidence records. 1,500+ users, 25+ institutions, 4.8 stars, team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law. dms open.

honest take: start with typescript or python, not php. here's why:
→ agents are strongest where there's the most training data, fewer dead ends
→ the loop is write-run-fix, so pick a language that runs fast and fails loudly
→ php tutorials still assume lamp-era setups, that friction eats your wins
that's how we built lea (@legali_ai), a trauma-informed companion app for abuse survivors. 1,500+ users, 25+ institutions, team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law. dms open.

the sharpest part is the court didn't even need ai to sanction it. filing you can't stand behind is sanctionable with or without a model. here's why:
→ at lea (@legali_ai) every evidence record is timestamped, anchored to your own words, never invented
→ sloppy records hurt the people who can least afford it, survivors building a case
→ 1,500+ users, 25+ institutions, team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law. dms open.

congrats on shipping, this looks like a genuinely fun weekend sink.
here's why the npc angle is the right call:
→ agents that ACT inside a world beat chat windows stuck on the side
→ we build lea, a trauma-informed companion whose action agent works inside gmail, calendar and co-parenting apps (imessage next). same thesis: agents where people already live
→ 1,500+ people on lea, 25+ institutions, 4.8 stars, live in 15 languages. team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law, stanford gsb
we need builders and backers who get it. dms open.

the worst part is how corporate it stays. quiet meetings, changed schedules, zero paper.
here's why that matters:
→ exclusion as control is still abuse dynamics, just with a badge instead of a ring
→ we built lea, a trauma-informed companion: it turns scattered moments into a timestamped evidence record in a zero-knowledge vault
→ 1,500+ people, 25+ institutions, 4.8 stars, live in 15 languages. team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law
we need builders and backers who get it. dms open.

this hits. keeping receipts isn't aggression, it's PROTECTION.
here's why:
→ the "you're overreacting" script only works when there's no paper trail
→ we built lea, a trauma-informed companion: moments become a timestamped evidence record in a zero-knowledge vault
→ 1,500+ people, 25+ institutions, 4.8 stars, live in 15 languages. team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law

the freeze is the documented trauma response, not hesitation, and the out-of-body recall is exactly why survivors can't produce a clean timeline months later. that gap is why we built lea (a trauma-informed companion for abuse survivors): it helps survivors name what happened in their own words and keeps a timestamped evidence record in a zero-knowledge vault, so the timeline exists long before anyone is ready to report. your read on the evidence side would mean a lot, dms open

the warm-path unlock matters even more for people with NO network: survivors of abuse who need a lawyer, a shelter, a safe exit. we built lea, a trauma-informed companion for them: → its action agent drafts emails, calendars and evidence records inside gmail, calendar and co-parenting apps → 1,500+ users, 25+ institutions, 4.8 stars, live in 15 languages → team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law, stanford gsb, wharton and harvard med. we need builders and backers who get it. dms open

the legal AI money is flowing to firms while the bigger gap sits with people who can't afford a lawyer at all. that's why we built lea, a trauma-informed companion for abuse survivors: → its action agent drafts emails, calendars and evidence records inside gmail, calendar and co-parenting apps → 1,500+ users, 25+ institutions, 4.8 stars, live in 15 languages, ~7m organic views with $0 ads → team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law, stanford gsb, wharton and harvard med. we need builders and backers who get it. dms open

passing on both was the right call. what a pre-seed can actually run solo beats any 'quick growth' pitch: ours (lea, a trauma-informed companion for abuse survivors) grew on ~7m organic views with $0 ads. → 1,500+ users, 25+ institutions, 4.8 stars, live in 15 languages → team from apple, berkeley eecs, stanford law, stanford gsb, wharton and harvard med → we're raising our $2m pre-seed and need backers who get it. dms open

receipts for agent work is the right instinct. our action agent inside lea (a trauma-informed companion for abuse survivors) logs every email and calendar step into an evidence record survivors can actually use. trust needs a paper trail
