AI-native professional services, for the world

Professional services is the next place this plays out. Law, audit, tax, and consulting firms sell judgment by the hour, and every AI copilot pointed at them so far just makes the existing associate cheaper to run, not the firm structurally different.

Incumbents can't rebuild themselves around AI, because the billable hour is the business. A partner who halves the hours a matter takes has just cut their own revenue. That's not a technology gap, it's an incentive gap, and it's why this has to be built outside the incumbents, not sold into them.

AI-native here means a different leverage ratio, not a faster associate. A handful of senior judgment-holders plus AI systems doing the drafting, research, and first-pass review, priced on the outcome instead of the hour. The firm looks smaller on the org chart and serves more clients than the one it's replacing.

The constraint that never goes away is liability. Professional services carry malpractice risk, regulatory exposure, and a client who needs someone accountable when it's wrong. The winning firms design for that from day one, human sign-off, credentialed review, insurance, rather than skipping past it and hoping regulators don't notice.

I'm looking for founders willing to own the service, the liability, and the client relationship, not sell software to the firms that already exist. The wedge is usually narrow: one workflow, done at a fraction of the cost and time, at equal or better quality, before the firm expands into the next one.
