The Ƶ Startup Starter Pack
What do you do if you want to establish and grow your business on a strong legal foundation, but you don't have £450 per hour to spare on legal fees?
We are delighted to announce that we have just put together our first bundle of trusted commercial document templates. They are available absolutely free to everyone - as part of our mission to open source the law.
By using Ƶ's Legal Startup Starter Pack you'll have all the document templates you'd need to scale your business on a firm legal foundation.
How much are these templates worth?
These would usually cost you over £30,000 if you asked a law-firm to draft them.
Note: If you are following the tech-startup route of Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A investment rounds, they can cost £75,000 on their own. We haven't included that cost here.
What do these templates cover?
They are 60+ of the most important business contracts and legal document templates for small businesses -> covering company formation, sales, employment, investment, intellectual property and data protection.
How can you trust these templates?
They have been created by top lawyers such as Geoffrey Mead, former Employment Partner at a major law firm, and Szab Gall, former General Counsel of Tesco Central Europe, as well as synthesised from Genie’s database of hundreds of thousands of contracts. Ƶ is backed by Lord Neuberger, former President of the Supreme Court of the UK.
Isabelle Gough, CEO of Cercula (an ESG calculator for the construction industry) said:
“Finding Genie's lawyer-drafted NDAs and Software pilot licence solved a painful issue for the business. Ƶ has saved me thousands in legal fees.”

You'll also find usage statistics by template so you can decide which template is most appropriate for your firm based on your sector. We spent months putting these templates together, after analysing usage data from 1000+ Ƶ users over the past 12 months. We are committed to keeping them up to date as the law continues to change, as a public service.
In addition to that, discussions on each template provide access to shared knowledge, tips and hints between startups and lawyers at the template, and clause level. There are no stupid questions - and we will always respond - so please do use that feature if you get stuck.
This Startup Pack is designed for all UK SMEs (with a particular focus on early stage startups looking to become the high-growth enterprises of tomorrow).
