   Great way to populate multiple documents at once and create client-facing portals

   Documate is a great piece of software with unlimited functionality. The interface is easy to understand, and I love that I can add multiple documents to my output documents, so they all populate at once. I have one interview with over 30 documents with complex logic. They also provide custom services, which I've used a few times to set up SMS messaging and other special notifications. I previously tried HotDocs, which was so burdensome to learn. I was able to learn Documate with just a 5 minute demo from the customer service team, who is also awesome.

   Super easy way to get perfectly formatted, error-free documents and document packets. The interface makes it easy to build simple document assembly for one document in 5 minutes, but it's also a very powerful engine for much more complex tasks.

   Very powerful tool for complex document automation

   Our company uses Documate to generate a variety of contract sets. Because no coding knowledge is required, we were able to set it up very quickly. It allows for quite a bit of complexity in formatting your documents, adding conditional logic, and setting up complex calculations. The system passed our high privacy and data security requirements, and they set every user up on a dedicated instance, which is crucial when you're dealing with sensitive legal information.

   🏁 Competitors: HotDocs, Formstack, WebMerge

• Best Document Automation Platform (for the money)

  I looked at documate.org, which looks promising, and hotdocs (which looks more complicated). But I want to make sure I'm not missing something. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Standard Founders Agreement Template?

  There is a YC Backed company [0] that does this for you. Could be worth a look [0] https://clerky.com I would recommend using soemthing from clerky and then getting your own lawyers involved to really nail this down further. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Thinking of starting a side project/business while employed, should I incorporate now or wait to start making money?

  Yeah, just call it a proprietorship until you have a solid reason to incorporate. (i.e. Angel investment and / or liability protection.) Then when you do choose to incorporate, check out clerky.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do I create the company first or do the IDO sale?

  US guy here (not a lawyer), definitely set up the company first and have written stuff in place for what each founder/dev gets. Team disagreements over a multi-sig or distribution can be a killer and are likely going to be your main issue. Also having a corporate entity (even an LLC) shields you from a lot of liability in the case of a bug or funds lost on behalf of users. You can use even an online service...

• Looking for Legal Counsel for my Startup (also CPA)

  I'm currently looking at several lawfirms, such as Goodwin Procter. I'm also aware of a platform for startups legalwork, clerky.com, but I want to bring on my own attorney through it. Anyone have any resources or recommendations? Source: about 3 years ago
