Just a few years ago, a large law firm by the name of Dentons realized the coming changes that an overlap between technology and law might create, and wanted to get ahead of the game. As a result, Dentons created Nextlaw Labs with the vision of reinventing the practice of law using technology. As a subsidiary of Nextlaw Labs, Nextlaw Ventures emerged, which is an early-stage, legal-focused venture fund that invests in a variety of legal tech companies. As the CEO and Managing Director of Nextlaw Ventures, Dan Jansen discusses just a few of the 10 legal tech companies currently in their fund, including ROSS Intelligence, which is an expert legal, research-driven tool that leverages AI to answer legal questions and create legal memos. Jansen believes that this technology will have a democratizing effect on the practice of law by allowing small firms to find the answers to complex questions that, otherwise, only larger firms might have the ability to answer. Tune in to hear the full discussion, and visit nextlawventures.com to read about all 10 companies in Nextlaw Venture's portfolio.

Arvind Gupta began his career as a genetic engineer before entering industrial design, where he learned the process of productizing technology. Gupta has implemented what he's learned in his current role as the founder of IndieBio, a venture capital firm that funds scientists to become entrepreneurs and solve the world's most pressing problems using biology and technology. As an example, Gupta discusses cellular agriculture, which is the process of producing food in cellular factories and a concept that Gupta says was foreign until IndieBio invested in it about three years ago. Since then, "It's changed the conversation about how we produce our food," says Gupta. Indiebio has also invested in a company that's matching cancer patients to clinical trials using AI, natural language processing, and a process referred to as "stratifying" patients, which allows for a greater understanding of exactly who they are and why they may or may not be responding to a particular drug. Gupta discusses a variety of other topics, including the ways in which companies go wrong, the ways of thinking that create barriers to certain solutions, and what the team at IndieBio looks for in potential investment opportunities.
