Hey guys!
I’m Roman — a lawyer who became a founder.
A while back, I started building internal tools to automate boring legal tasks at our law firm. One thing led to another, and that side project turned into Skala.io.
With Skala, founders can:
• Incorporate in multiple jurisdictions (US + offshore)
• Manage their companies (some tasks, not everything yet)
• Register and maintain trademarks with USPTO
• Raise funding using standard legal instruments
• Generate and e-sign documents
• And, of course, use an AI legal assistant for quick guidance
We launched on Product Hunt this week and ended up as #1 Product of the Day. Now we’re in the running for Product of the Week.
Here is the launch page: https://www.producthunt.com/products/skala/launches/skala-2
Take a look, leave a comment, and give us a vote if it resonates with you. Would love your thoughts.

Hey fam 👋
Roman from Skala here. We’re building the ultimate legal platform for startups.
Most of you already know about SAFEs (Simple Agreements for Future Equity) from YC. They’ve become the go-to tool for raising pre-seed funding.
So we built the simplest way to generate and sign SAFEs with your investors.
No lawyers. No DocuSign. No fees. Just done, in minutes.
We’ve also adapted the original YC SAFE for BVI and Panama entities, which are super popular with crypto founders.
Pick your jurisdiction, generate the doc, and send it for signature. That’s it.

Raising funding for your startup? Most pre-seed investors expect to use this one document.
If you’re a lawyer or a seasoned founder, you already know this stuff. No surprises here.
But if you’re just starting your founder journey and haven’t heard of SAFEs before, keep reading.
Founder asked, we built.
Here is another must-have legal template for founders: Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA).
Simple. Clear. Ready to sign.

At Skala, our mission is to build the best legal platform for startups in the world.
Yes, that means bringing in AI. And we’re working on it.
But let’s not put the cart before the horse. First, we need to get the basics right.
Last week, we launched our standard NDA. Today, we’re releasing another essential template: Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA).
The main use case: hiring a freelancer (developer, marketer, analyst, etc.) on a monthly, weekly, or hourly basis.
It’s simple, clear, and to the point — no flashy legal design, just what you need.
Link below in the 1st comment.
You can download the Word version without signing up — or create a Skala account and use our guided form to fill it out and send a signing link to your contractor. All in minutes, if not seconds.
More to come. Thanks for reading!
A comprehensive course on AI Law and Policy should include:
- Basics of model training and inference
- Why chips are so important and how US controls them (via De Minimis U.S. Content (§ 734.4) and Foreign Direct Product Rule as applied to chips and AI models), what was The AI Diffusion Rule and why it was rescinded recently
- Which data could or could not be used for training (privacy, etc.)
- Fair use in the context of model training (NYT v. OpenAI, Thomson Reuters v. ROSS Intelligence)
- Basics of The EU AI Act as an example of the first comprehensive regulation (perhaps not the best regulation, though)
- Why certain AI startups want to use non-profits or public benefit companies and how things can go wrong (OpenAI board saga as a case study)
- Whether and how lawyers, doctors and other regulated professions should use AI (ABA Formal Opinion 512 on GenAI)
Just some ideas. The list can go on.
I always wished there was a standard NDA — like YC’s standard SAFE.
But there wasn’t one.
So we built it.
Meet the Skala NDA: fast, mutual, no-nonsense.
Bookmark it — the quickest way to get an NDA signed.

This is precisely the reason why Elon and Jack want to delete all IP law.
The term “dev mode” in this case is so descriptive that Figma should not be allowed to “own” it. Instead, Lovable and any other company should be free to use it.
Of course, Lovable will send back a polite response and Figma can even drop the matter. However, to truly free the use of this term, someone should file a petition to cancel the trademark with the USPTO’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).
This is the mark, by the way: https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=98045640&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch
