February 27, 2020
If there is one industry that needs a powerful and accurate search and analytics tool it is court systems. Los Angeles startup Trellis Research specializes in software for state court data, recently made news with a big fundraiser and addition to their team. TechCrunch explains the details in, “Building A search Tool For State Court Data And Analytics, Trellis Adds Alon Schwartz As Co-Founder.”
Trellis Research is a fire starter startup, known for designing analytics and search software for state legal systems. Their most famous products were Dostoc, an online store and electronic document depository for financial, legal, and professional documents and unGlue a startup that regulates screen time for families.
Craft Ventures recently raised $4.4 million in funding for Trellis. The company also added a new technical co-founder Alon Shwartz. Shwartz’s new role will be the chief product officer. He will work side by side with the company founder Nicole Clark
Trellis’s home office is in California, where they service the California Superior court records and judicial analytics. Wit the new round of funding, the company hopes to expand to Florida, Delaware, Texas, and New York. Clark founded Trelis when she discovered a need for better search and analytics software in the courts:
“ ‘I was customer one,’ says Clark of the product. A former litigator in Los Angeles, the entrepreneur developed Trellis to serve her own research needs. ‘I used this data for two years and during those years I won every motion that I had,’ says Clark. ‘It made it so obvious what a competitive advantage this was. It’s a way to analyze how a judge thinks about issues and a lawyer can draft their motions with a particular judge in mind.’”
Trellis offers a freemium service for state trial decisions and filings with search, but to access the actual documents people need to become paying users. There is an $100 fee for individuals and enterprise users are negotiable. Once beyond the paywall, users can file documents, download, print, and analyze them.
Clark promises that attorneys will double their win rate with Trellis Research software.
