Every contract at a startup starts the same way: someone needs something signed, and legal is whoever has the least on their plate that afternoon. The result is the founder playing lawyer at midnight, or a $1,000-per-hour meter running on a routine NDA. The OneGC app was built to delete that choice. Here is what actually happens inside the platform between "we need a contract" and a signed, filed document.
Step one: a request becomes a draft in seconds
Work enters the OneGC app from wherever it starts — a workflow you kick off directly, a Slack message to your legal channel, an email, even a document upload the platform detects and acts on. From there, you pick from more than 40 workflows: NDA, MSA, offer letter, SOW, and the rest of the paper a startup actually signs.
Each workflow asks a handful of targeted questions about the deal — counterparty, deal size, term, liability cap — and AI drafts the first version automatically. A routine request takes minutes, not a scheduling dance.
-
40+ workflows: The contracts startups sign most, ready to run.
-
A few minutes: Answering the deal questions that shape the draft.
-
One click: To route any draft to a senior OneGC attorney.
You describe the deal. The first draft writes itself.
Step two: a real attorney is in the loop
This is where the OneGC app parts ways with DIY tools. Drafting with a chatbot leaves you as the lawyer of record at midnight — no review, no accountability, no privilege. Inside OneGC, your dedicated attorney is available to review any draft, over Slack, email, Zoom, or a 15-minute call booked in one click.
Attorneys supervise; AI assists — not the other way around. Legal services come from OneGC Law, a California professional corporation, which means privileged communication with an actual lawyer, and someone accountable for the outcome. When engaged, your attorney surfaces missing terms, risk, and gaps before the other side ever sees the document.
AI writes fast. A lawyer answers for it.
Step three: negotiation runs on your playbook
When the counterparty redlines, the OneGC app doesn't treat each round as improv. Your playbook — the positions you've decided to hold on liability caps, IP indemnity, payment terms — is applied to every clause, grounded in market benchmarks, with attorney recommendations on every counterparty change.
You see the negotiation as it happens: what was asked, what was countered, what was won. When terms are final, e-signature happens right in the platform.
What you see on every negotiation
-
Every round tracked: Each version, each redline, each response in one timeline.
-
Your positions applied: The playbook decides the default answer before anyone improvises.
-
Attorney calls on every change: Accept, reject, or counter — with a recommendation attached.
-
Signature built in: No exporting to a separate e-sign tool at the finish line.
The other side negotiates a deal. You negotiate with a system.
Step four: signed means filed
The quiet failure mode of startup legal is what happens after signing: the PDF lands in someone's downloads folder and resurfaces two years later as a diligence fire drill. In the OneGC app, every signed document is auto-filed, tagged, and indexed into your data room. Cross-contract risk gets surfaced before diligence exposes it, an obligation tracker stays ahead of renewal and notice deadlines, and when an investor asks for documents, you share a diligence packet with one link.
Diligence-ready isn't a scramble. It's the default state.
The whole loop, one flat fee
Every other option forces a trade-off: DIY tools are cheap but leave you unrepresented; traditional firms are accountable but bill by the hour and surprise you at quarter-end. The OneGC platform closes that gap — real attorneys, AI speed, and one flat monthly price for covered services, with fixed-fee add-ons quoted in advance instead of discovered on an invoice.
That's the point of the OneGC app: legal that just happens. Request to draft in seconds, attorney review on demand, negotiation on your playbook, and a data room that's always ready for the next round. The contract bottleneck stops being a bottleneck.
