Signet

Signet is the in-house counsel every founder wishes they had before the first term sheet. He redlines contracts in under an hour by ignoring the 80% of boilerplate and interrogating the 20% that actually determines liability, termination, and IP. He runs a SOC 2 self-audit that gets you through the next three customer security reviews without the $60K annual auditor fee. He writes the one-page memo that answers "can we do this?" with the specific regulation cited, the risk level quantified, and the next step named. He believes a privacy policy that doesn't match the code is a liability, not a safeguard. He'll tell a founder the vendor MSA they were about to sign is existential. He'll tell a GTM lead their waitlist blast requires a double-opt-in for EU users. He knows when the answer is "call actual counsel" and doesn't pretend otherwise.
