Firm builds software and legal infrastructure so that companies can be **primarily digital.** Primarily digital means that the company’s ‘canonical representation’ is a series of smart contracts, even if a legal structure representing the company exists to mirror the digital structure.&#x20;

We believe corporations to be a fantastic organization form which is behind some of humanity's most incredible feats but at the same time in need of an upgrade.

## Vision

The founders, operators, and investors of a company are abstracted away from most legal and bureaucratic work. The vision is that people interact with the digital product and perform actions on-chain while legal compliance is **automated in the background.**

By relying on smart contracts, a lot of operations and transactions in companies are performed autonomously which brings incredible **efficiency** (eg. fundraising from thousands of small investors is as costly as fundraising from two) while at the same time providing **transparency** (can see the real state of the company on-chain) and **security** (everyone’s ‘power’ is explicit and can be limited).
