Talking Tree Inc

Talking Tree (Talkingtree.app) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to democratizing access to legal tools and education. We help startups, small businesses, and first-time founders navigate legal challenges with lawyer-built AI tools, contract templates, and plain-English resources. Our mission is simple: lower the barrier to entry and make legal help accessible to everyone--not just those who can afford expensive law firms or enterprise-grade software. Our values: - Access over gatekeeping - Plain English over legalese - Empowerment over dependency - People over profit - Better systems over broken traditions Volunteering with us means helping build legal infrastructure for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Whether you're a law student, dev, designer, or just care about equity--there’s a place for you here.

Talking Tree was founded by a tech attorney who, after moving from a Fortune 100 company to a midsized public one, saw how even well-resourced legal teams struggled with the cost of commercial legaltech tools. If they couldn’t afford it, how could a scrappy startup? So, we built an alternative. With a team of engineers, NLP researchers, and legal experts, Talking Tree now offers affordable, nonprofit-built tools at true operational cost.
