AI legal review at senior-counsel depth.
FounderShield gives Indian founders a 25-year-senior-counsel-grade first-pass review of their Privacy Policy, ToS, NDA, founders' agreement, ESOP plan, iSAFE — calibrated to DPDP 2023, IT Act, Companies Act, and FEMA. In under 90 seconds. Without the ₹1,000/hour bill.
The 17 documents most founders ask about
Including the VC Term Sheet — the single most anxious document most founders ever read.
Each comes with a clause-by-clause checklist drawn from the same statute pages a partner at Trilegal / AZB / Khaitan would check before signing.
How it works
Three steps. No back-and-forth.
Tell us about your company
Stage, sector, audience, jurisdictions, payments, intermediary status. The review calibrates to your reality — DPIIT-recognised SaaS startup serving B2C Indian users gets a different lens than a B2B fintech with US investors.
Paste your draft
Privacy Policy, ToS, ESOP — whatever you've drafted. We segment it into clauses, redact PII, and run it against a senior-counsel pack covering 30+ canonical Indian statutes and rules.
Get a structured review in under 90 seconds
Compliance score, missing clauses with drop-in suggestions, risky clauses with rewrites, an inline redline view, and citations to the exact section. Not legal advice — but the kind of pre-engagement read a partner would do for a friend.
What you actually get
Not a 30-page memo. A surgical, ranked, drop-in-usable review.
Executive verdict
One-paragraph "would I let my own portfolio company sign this?" answer. No hedging.
Compliance score 0–100
Indicative readiness, with per-dimension breakdown (DPDP, contractual, IP, payments…).
Missing clauses
What's not there but should be — with drop-in suggested language and section citations.
Risky clauses
Clauses that will get re-papered in due diligence, won't survive court, or violate Indian law. Each with a rewrite.
Inline redline
Track-changes view of your draft with insertions and deletions colour-coded by severity.
Optional lawyer hand-off
One click to engage an empanelled Indian advocate for a flat-fee deep review on top of the AI pass.

Important. FounderShield is an AI-assisted first-pass review tool calibrated to a senior-counsel persona. It is informational, not legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. CounselGrid is a technology platform; we are not a law firm and do not practise law. For binding execution-grade advice — especially before signing — engage a licensed advocate. Where Digital Personal Data Protection Rules are pending notification, treat compliance recommendations as risk-mitigating best practice, not settled law.
