How A Law Firm Becomes A Software Company: Conversation With CS Disco's Neil Etheridge

One of the interesting things about the ediscovery market is that no two companies' stories are exactly the same.

DISCO_logo_mobile-3One of the interesting things about the ediscovery market is that no two companies’ stories are exactly the same. While Everlaw and Zapproved have more closely followed the traditional Silicon Valley narrative, CloudNine bootstrapped its business, kCura began as a software consulting company and Logikcull originally started out as a services company.

What makes CS Disco’s story and vision unique is that it actually began as Camara & Sibley LLP, a boutique litigation firm in Houston. But, after a growing frustration with the available ediscovery solutions, the firm saw an opportunity and pivoted into a software company (it didn’t hurt that founder Kiwi Camara had a B.S. in Computer Science). The company has since raised over $12M in funding from well respected VC firms like Bessemer Venture Partners, and have been used by hundreds of law firms including 50 of the Amlaw 200. To learn more about CS Disco, I’ve invited Neil Etheridge, CS Disco’s VP of Marketing and a career veteran of the legal tech industry (Neil previously worked at Recommind which just last week sold to OpenText) for a conversation starting today on ATL.
