There's no doubt that the success of startups like
Quora have propelled the Q&A space into the spotlight. And there seems to be room for other niche Quora-like sites, such as
enterprise-focsued Opzi and recently launched
LawPivot, which provides crowdsourced legal advice to technology companies. Today LawPivot is announcing that it has secured $600,000 in new funding from Google Ventures and a number of angel investors, including
Richard Chen,
David Tisch,
David Li,
Nick Mehta and
Don Hutchison. This brings LawPivot's total funding to $1 million (the startup previously raised
$400,000 in angel funding). LawPivot is essentially a ?Quora for legal advice? that allows technology companies to confidentially ask legal questions to expert attorneys. Questions are completely confidential, so companies still have privacy within the platform. The startup was co-founded by a team of lawyers and tech execs, including
Jay Mandal, a lead mergers and acquisitions attorney at Apple;
Nitin Gupta; an intellectual property litigation lawyer; and
Steven Kam, a software engineer and architect with experience as an intellectual property litigation lawyer. Clearly, these guys have experience in advising tech companies on how to navigate the law.
