Holistic Folder Analysis

I’ve reviewed thousands of pages of contracts over the years. I’ve run diligence across jurisdictions, industries, and deal types. But my #1 recommendation when evaluating a deal has nothing to do with legal structure.

Spend time with the founders.

Talk to them. Ask questions. Not just about the product or the numbers — but how they think, how they handle pressure, how they treat hard questions.

And then pay attention to one thing above all: Do they want you to understand their business — or do they just want you to write the check?

If a founder is cagey during diligence — even after you’ve signed an NDA and clearly signaled interest — that’s a problem. Transparency in diligence isn’t a favor. It’s a signal. If they’re not forthcoming now, when they need something from you, it only gets worse post-close.

I’ve seen more deals turn sideways because of lack of trust and communication than because of any technical issue. People reveal themselves early — if you’re paying attention.

Yes, we use Aracor to run high-speed, high-quality diligence across hundreds of documents.

But tools only matter if the humans involved are operating in good faith. Founders who want to build something real want you to see it clearly. If they don’t? That’s your answer.

‍

I recently had lunch with an Aracor user, an investor who shared a story about how, with Aracor's help, she caught a critical mistake in an agreement before it was too late. Here’s what happened.

She was deep into final docs on a growth deal — term sheet signed, diligence mostly wrapped, everyone ready to move forward.

She mentioned that she isn't the type to personally sift through 80-page agreements late at night. But she's exactly the kind of investor who knows how to ask the right questions — and who can sense when something isn't quite right.

During a review call, she paused and asked the lawyers: “Just confirm — the board is still 2–1 in favor of the founder, right?”

A long pause. Some scrolling. Then: “Actually… not exactly.”

Somewhere between the term sheet and the final voting agreement, the math had subtly shifted. A revised definition here, a phrasing tweak there — and suddenly, the founder’s control had quietly been diluted.

Nobody else caught it — not because they weren't sharp, but because subtle changes easily slip through when juggling multiple documents, numerous edits, and the pressures of a fast-moving deal.

Her single, timely question preserved critical alignment. But it highlighted something important: Even great legal teams miss things. And most investors don’t know which questions to ask — until it’s too late.

That’s exactly why we built Aracor.

Aracor automatically matches your term sheet against the final deal documents, clearly tracking what's changed and what's drifted from signing to signature. So founders, investors, and legal teams can stay focused on the big picture without losing sight of the details.

Because asking the right question is powerful. But having the right tools means you don’t have to rely on intuition alone to catch critical issues.

As an in-house lawyer, I don’t think my job is to gatekeep knowledge. My job is to empower the people I work with — to provide clarity, confidence, and the ability to make smart decisions without always needing to pick up the phone. For years, I did everything manually.

Then came the advent of generative AI.

Initially, I thought these tools would finally solve my problems. And don't get me wrong — I LOVE ChatGPT. But for contract and deal work, it just wasn't enough. First, I couldn’t see and directly reference my documents side-by-side, which is critical for my workflow. Second, LLMs couldn't understand what I specifically value or read documents the way I do. They go broad but lack the deep vertical expertise I need.

That's why I built Aracor and why we now use it across the Constructor Group ecosystem.

My legal team has transformed significantly:

• We use Aracor for initial due diligence on early-stage startups.
• We always rely on it to compare term sheets against final deal documents.
• We quickly leverage Aracor to look up details within our portfolio and answer urgent governance or liquidation preference questions.

We view Aracor as a critical intermediary step — a trusted second opinion to guide our decision-making. Because of this, we've stopped depending on external counsel for routine document review, saving substantial money, and more importantly, significant amounts of time. Internally, we’ve grown smarter, faster, and more confident.

Now, we're expanding Aracor to top business executives within the Constructor Group ecosystem, enabling them to quickly access critical information related to their projects. This alignment is essential for Constructor Capital as a venture fund, where legal and business decisions are closely intertwined.

We don’t just upload contracts and forget about them — we actively structure our deal knowledge. I preload Aracor with critical documents, highlight essential rights, mark potential risks, and annotate the exact things I anticipate our team needing months later.

When finance asks about a distribution waterfall, they don't have to wait for me. When our CEO needs to confirm board control post-close, it's one click away. When our investor queries a veto right, it's already flagged clearly.

I'm still deeply involved in guiding strategy, but I've stopped being the bottleneck. 

Here's the magic: the more I put into Aracor, the more valuable my work becomes — not just for the deal, but for the entire business.

Imagine you're a law firm partner advising family offices, funds, founders, or corporate clients. What if you could deliver the same empowerment and visibility to your clients? 

You don't need to build software to scale your value; you just need to own its delivery. This is how legal teams become indispensable — not by hoarding knowledge, but by making it actionable and accessible.

If your clients live in their deals long after signing, this is your path to staying essential.

Just because a deal closes doesn’t mean a happy ending is in store. Some deals unravel months — or even years — later.

I’ve seen it happen with partnerships that looked perfect on paper, only to reveal fundamental misalignment once the real work began. I’ve seen investments that seemed strategic at the time but became expensive distractions. Sometimes it wasn’t anyone’s fault — priorities changed, markets moved, people evolved.

And sometimes (most times!), the red flags were there from the beginning — we just didn’t want to see them.

These experiences are painful, but they’ve taught me some of the most valuable lessons in my career. The deals that hold up over time aren’t just the ones with clean terms or airtight contracts. They’re the ones built on clarity, alignment, and a shared understanding of how things will work when circumstances inevitably change.

The hard part isn’t closing a deal. It’s maintaining one. That means staying ahead of shifting control rights, understanding what’s buried in old side letters, or knowing when your waterfall math quietly stopped reflecting reality.

That’s why we built Aracor the way we did

Not just to help you close — but to help you manage the deals you already have. Aracor maps control, rights, obligations, risks — across time, across entities, across relationships. Because the real test of a deal isn’t day one. It’s day 1,000.

If you’ve had a deal unravel after the fact — what did you learn from it? What would you build differently next time?

Embracing the Future with Fearlessness

M&A is evolving fast. The pace of deals is accelerating, risks are growing, and expectations for efficiency have never been higher. At Aracor, we believe that fearlessness — the ability to navigate uncertainty with confidence — is the key to thriving in this landscape.

This philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, from pushing AI innovation to helping you execute deals faster and more securely. And it’s why I’m so excited to share some big updates with you:

• $4.5M Pre-Seed Funding Secured! Thanks to Fuel Venture Capital, we’re accelerating AI development, strengthening security, and expanding our market presence.
• Speaking at Top Industry Events, I recently shared Aracor’s AI-driven impact at the Women + AI Conference in Nashville and will be attending several key events (see below — let’s connect!).
• New CTO, Lesly Arun Franco! With deep NLP expertise, Lesly is elevating Aracor’s AI leadership. Read more about Lesly

On a personal note, I recently chose The 50th Law: Overcoming Adversity Through Fearlessness by 50 Cent and Robert Greene for our Aracor Book Club. In the past, the team has selected and read Mindset by Carol Dweck, Principles by Ray Dalio, The Culture Map, and other classic reads on leadership and strategy.  

Making my team read about a rapper’s philosophy seems funny – but it goes back to fearlessness. The ability to embrace uncertainty, take action before you feel ready, and master your environment.

AI is changing everything. The people who thrive won’t be the late adopters; they’ll be the ones experimenting, adapting, and shaping the tools at their disposal. The lesson? Hesitation is costly. Fear is a disadvantage. Mastery comes from engagement.

What’s one area in your work where uncertainty is holding you back? What if you leaned into it instead? Hit Reply — I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Best,

AI is Changing Legal Advice for Entrepreneurs

By Kevin J. Sullivan, Senior Advisor at Aracor

As someone who’s worked with entrepreneurs for years, I’ve seen firsthand how their drive fuels constant innovation. But that same energy can also create challenges, especially when it comes to navigating complex legal agreements. That’s where Aracor, an AI tool, is making a significant impact.

Take a recent case: an experienced entrepreneur was recapitalizing his business with new investment. The investor wanted a range of agreements — restrictive covenants, a revised shareholders’ pact, settlement terms, and more —adding to existing legal obligations. When the entrepreneur asked, “What’s stopping me from launching a new software business?” the answer wasn’t simple. The relevant documents included multiple restrictive covenants, shareholders’ agreements, articles of organization, and various investment terms — over 600 pages across three jurisdictions.

From Days of Legal Review to Seconds of Insight

Traditionally, this would mean having a junior associate sift through the documents, flagging key clauses, and drafting a summary — a process that could take days and cost thousands in legal fees. With Aracor, I simply uploaded the files, entered a prompt — “outline restrictions on [entrepreneur] starting a software business” — and got a detailed breakdown in less than a minute, with links to every relevant clause. What used to take hours now takes moments.

Aracor is a co-intelligent legal platform designed for high-growth sectors like venture capital and private equity. It automates tasks like contract review, due diligence, and compliance with tools such as 1-Click Summary, automated redlining, and OCR with signature verification. Its due diligence features let business leaders assess new ventures without upfront legal fees, helping them make sharper, more informed decisions.

Why This Changes the Game for Dealmaking

CEO Katya Fisher, who has both legal and business expertise, built Aracor with the aim of offering tailored, proactive insights while ensuring top-notch security. The platform uses enterprise-grade encryption and Secure Language Models™ to protect sensitive data.

When I first heard about AI’s potential to change the legal field, I was skeptical. But after using Aracor for several months, I’m convinced. Its ability to analyze complex documents quickly and accurately isn’t just a time-saver; it’s a competitive advantage. For advisors like me, it’s a powerful tool that helps us better serve clients in fast-moving industries. The real question now is, “How far can this technology go?”

Why Aracor Is LLM-Agnostic: Privacy, Resilience, and Real-World Readiness

AI is evolving at an extraordinary pace — but that doesn’t mean every business should blindly follow the latest model release. At Aracor, we believe in building AI infrastructure that is flexible, secure, and future-ready. That’s why we’ve taken an LLM-agnostic approach — and here’s why it matters.

What Is an LLM, and Why Should You Care?

A Large Language Model (LLM) is the core AI engine that interprets, summarizes, and analyzes text — essentially the “brain” behind modern AI tools. It’s what powers document review, insight extraction, and smart workflows in platforms like Aracor.

But not all LLMs are built the same.

Some prioritize speed or experimentation over enterprise-level safety. Others aren’t optimized for sensitive legal or financial data. And some, like DeepSeek, are powerful open-source models — but they come with important caveats.

The DeepSeek Dilemma: Performance vs. Trust

DeepSeek is one of the most talked-about open-source models in the AI community. It's powerful, fast, and appears to perform well in legal and analytical tasks.

But there's a catch.

Despite its capabilities, many organizations — especially those handling sensitive deal data — are wary of using DeepSeek in production due to concerns about data jurisdiction and governance. The model was developed by a team based in China, and there's limited transparency around how inference data is handled, logged, or retained when run through public endpoints or unmanaged hosting.

The fear isn’t just theoretical:

• IP leakage, especially involving confidential documents or investment terms
• Compliance red flags, particularly for companies governed by GDPR, U.S. regulatory frameworks, or cross-border data restrictions
• Reputational risk, if deal data is seen as being routed through unvetted or poorly understood systems

Aracor’s Approach: Use the Best, Control the Risk

At Aracor, we are hosting a version of DeepSeek in a secure, private environments — giving customers access to its capabilities without the exposure. For enterprise clients, we offer full VPC or on-premise deployment, so inference never leaves your controlled infrastructure.

And we don’t stop there. Aracor is:

• ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliant
• Firmly committed to not training on user data
• Built to work across multiple LLMs for performance and resilience
• Designed to route tasks to the best-fit model—not just the latest one

Agnostic by Design, Resilient by Default

When Anthropic experienced a major outage earlier this year, many companies relying on a single LLM were forced to pause mission-critical workflows.

Aracor’s LLM-agnostic design means your work continues — even if one provider goes down. You’re never dependent on a single model, vendor, or cloud endpoint.

The Bottom Line

Your deal data is too valuable to risk.

Whether it’s concerns about data sovereignty, LLM outages, or evolving model performance, Aracor gives you:

• Flexibility to adapt
• Security you can trust
• Control over where your data lives and how it’s processed

Great AI is important. But great AI, run the right way, is what makes Aracor different.

How Aracor Accelerated Legal Due Diligence with Qdrant Vector Search

The world of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is notoriously painstaking, slow, expensive and error-prone. Lawyers spend weeks combing through thousands of documents—validating signatures, comparing versions, and flagging risks.

Lawyers and dealmakers sift through mountains of documents—often numbering into the thousands—to validate every detail, from validating signatures, comparing the documents involved in the deal transaction, flagging risks to to patent validity. This meticulous process typically drains weeks or even months of productivity from highly trained professionals. Aracor AI set out to change that and to solve the M&A transparency gap. The Miami-based AI platform is laser-focused on transforming this painstaking due diligence into an automated, accurate, and dramatically faster operation.

The Challenge: Mountains of Documents, Mountains of Pain

Before Aracor, M&A lawyers faced countless hours verifying signatures, comparing contract versions, and manually summarizing massive troves of legal documentation. Traditional attempts at automation—such as generic summaries from AI tools like ChatGPT—fell short, lacking the critical accuracy, citations, and domain-specific context lawyers demand. The process was expensive, slow, and fraught with potential inaccuracies.

Legal AI at Scale: Hybrid, Filtered, Multitenant Search

Aracor built an end-to-end AI platform specifically tailored for the complex, precise requirements of dealmakers: family offices, private equity firms, venture capitalists, and other high-stakes investors. At the core of their innovation was a robust vector search capability provided by Qdrant.

Lesly Arun Franco, CTO of Aracor, explains, “Search is a massive problem. Our platform ingests thousands of legal documents, each requiring precise retrieval and accurate citations. Without Qdrant, delivering this level of performance and scale was nearly impossible.”

By adopting Qdrant’s vector database, Aracor gained the critical ability to efficiently index and search through massive document repositories. This empowered the platform to automatically generate precise document summaries, accurate comparison reports, signature verifications, and essential citations for every finding—features indispensable in the rigorous legal world.

Why Qdrant?

When Aracor first set out to integrate a vector database roughly eighteen months ago, Lesly and the team evaluated several vendors. Qdrant stood out for several reasons:

• Open-source and Self-hosted: Qdrant provided a developer-friendly, easily deployable solution at a stage when Aracor needed both flexibility and affordability.

• Superior Scalability: Unlike other databases, Qdrant offered seamless scaling and robust handling of immense document volumes—critical as Aracor’s client base rapidly expanded.

• Hybrid and Metadata-Driven Search: Qdrant made it possible to combine semantic search with structured filters—so users can instantly surface the exact clause, obligation, or restriction they need, even inside complex, nested legal documents. This dramatically improves speed, accuracy, and confidence in results.

Tangible Results with Qdrant

Since integrating Qdrant, Aracor has realized substantial operational improvements:

• Massive Time Savings: Tasks such as signature validation and document summarization, previously taking weeks, now complete in mere minutes. Customers report: 90% faster due diligence workflows, 70% reduction in document turnaround time, and 40% fewer legal hours required.

• Increased Accuracy: High-quality citation and retrieval accuracy have significantly increased user trust, a crucial advantage in the meticulous legal environment.

• Scalable Infrastructure: Transitioning from self-hosted to Qdrant’s cloud solution has streamlined operations, allowing Aracor’s technical team to focus on further feature development and optimization, such as integrating multimodal embeddings and hybrid search.

Looking Forward

With Qdrant handling the heavy lifting of scalable vector search, Aracor continues to innovate, working towards even more sophisticated multimodal and domain-specific embedding techniques. As they expand their platform, Aracor is confident in their capacity to support increasingly complex, high-volume document processing needs, all backed by the proven power and reliability of Qdrant’s vector database solution.

Why Do Deals Fail Before They Even Start?

By Katya Fisher

It’s easy to assume that when deals fall apart, it’s because of market shifts, tough legal terms, or bad timing. But most deals start dying long before any of those factors come into play. The root causes are almost always human: misaligned expectations, personality clashes, ego, and poor communication.

Misaligned Expectations

Two parties come to the table thinking they’re aligned.

On the surface, everything looks fine—they like the deal, the numbers make sense, and the timeline feels reasonable. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find they’re often operating on completely different assumptions. One side might be focused on speed and momentum, while the other is wired for caution and precision. One party expects to continue running their business independently post-close; the other is planning for full integration on day one. These differences aren’t inherently problematic—but when they go unspoken, they become landmines.

Everyone assumes things will “work themselves out.” They don’t.

Personality Clashes

Deals are negotiated and executed by people, not spreadsheets.

And people come with pride, fear, and the need to feel in control. When those dynamics aren’t managed, even a strategically sound deal can get derailed. This is especially true when egos start driving the conversation. If no one is willing to step back and say, “This isn’t about me—it’s about the outcome,” the deal starts to wobble.

Add in power plays, unspoken insecurities, or territorial behavior, and the whole thing can fall apart fast.

Ego Over Outcome

There’s a quiet but critical shift that happens in some negotiations: the goal moves from getting the deal done to winning the deal. That shift is fatal.

Suddenly, small asks turn into hills to die on. Concessions that should have been routine become personal. Every point becomes a referendum on respect or control. Progress slows. Trust erodes.

The deal—often a good one—bleeds out slowly while everyone digs in.

Communication Breakdowns

Finally, the most common deal-killer is the simplest: bad communication.

And not just what’s said, but what’s left unsaid. Unvoiced assumptions. Vague expectations. Unacknowledged timelines. These gaps often don’t feel urgent in the moment, but they create fault lines.

And when stress hits, those small cracks become unbridgeable divides.

So, What Do You Do About It?

This is the kind of risk we built Aracor to handle.

Not just the technical analysis of documents or flagging of missing terms—but the deeper, structural issues that derail deals before they’re even properly underway. Aracor helps dealmakers see the real dynamics early: where expectations are out of sync, where silence is hiding risk, and where momentum is starting to falter. It gives teams the tools to push for clarity before assumptions calcify into conflict.

Because great deals don’t just depend on terms or price.

They depend on clarity, trust, and early alignment—the things that rarely show up in the redlines, but always determine the outcome. Connect with Katya.

Get the insights you need—without compromising security.

The modern M&A battlefield is a high-stakes, high-velocity game. CEOs, general counsels, and deal teams are no longer just outmaneuvering competitors - they’re racing time itself. When deals move at the speed of information, clarity becomes a weapon.

At Aracor, we’ve been exploring how to sharpen that weapon. Recently, we quietly integrated DeepSeek R1 - an open-source LLM from China - as an option within our platform. The integration reflects our broader strategy: empowering CEOs, family offices, in-house counsel, and deal teams with real-time clarity across every phase of the M&A lifecycle. And we believe DeepSeek R1 can be a force multiplier for Aracor - returning signal to the user, not noise.

Let’s unpack that.

What DeepSeek R1 Is - and Why It Matters

DeepSeek R1 is not just another large language model. It is a system trained to speak the language of legal and financial nuance. When combined with Aracor’s proprietary AI know-how and techniques it doesn't simply summarize - it segments, identifies, prioritizes.

When users upload an M&A agreement riddled with indemnification clauses, escrow terms, and closing conditions to the Aracor platform, DeepSeek helps surface exactly what you need to know - back to the signal-versus-noise thing.

For example, while using Deepseek, Aracor flagged a missing auto-renewal clause in a user's key agreement - saving hours of manual review and avoiding a deal-breaking oversight. Its built-in risk detection catches hidden clauses, outdated templates, and compliance gaps before they become costly mistakes. For dealmakers navigating million-dollar decisions, that’s a fundamental shift. You go from reading to reasoning. From reactive interpretation to proactive insight. From “What is this saying?” to “What should we do next?

But there is a problem.

DeepSeek R1’s country of origin – China - introduces a layer of complexity that’s impossible to ignore.

Today, geopolitics has become a technical constraint. With the U.S. and China edging toward what many now call a technology-focused trade war, AI infrastructure is no longer neutral. It’s a strategic variable. Choices around hosting, data privacy, and model transparency are not secondary concerns - they’re primary requirements. So we approached DeepSeek with eyes wide open. And we built guardrails into every layer of how it’s delivered.

A Secure, Sovereign Deployment Model

As DeepSeek R1 is open source, Aracor’s deployment of DeepSeek R1 is fully secure and complies with data protection standards. All data is processed on U.S. servers. In our view, trust in AI systems is earned not through marketing, but through correct architecture—because no matter how good DeepSeek R1 is, it doesn’t mean a thing to us if our clients are not protected. Aracor enforces a zero-trust security policy with strict data residency and access controls, ensuring that even when integrating models like DeepSeek R1, all data remains encrypted, auditable, and confined to U.S.-based, compliant environments.

And at Aracor, your security and ability to navigate efficiently and quickly through deal making is our business and in our DNA.

The AI Changing Legal Advice for Entrepreneurs

By Kevin J. Sullivan

March 16, 2025

As someone who’s worked with entrepreneurs for years, I’ve seen firsthand how their drive fuels constant innovation. But that same energy can also create challenges, especially when it comes to navigating complex legal agreements. That’s where Aracor, an AI tool, is making a significant impact.

Take a recent case: an experienced entrepreneur was recapitalizing his business with new investment. The investor wanted a range of agreements—restrictive covenants, a revised shareholders’ pact, settlement terms, and more—adding to existing legal obligations. When the entrepreneur asked, “What’s stopping me from launching a new software business?” the answer wasn’t simple. The relevant documents included multiple restrictive covenants, shareholders’ agreements, articles of organization, and various investment terms—over 600 pages across three jurisdictions.

From Days of Legal Review to Seconds of Insight

Traditionally, this would mean having a junior associate sift through the documents, flagging key clauses, and drafting a summary—a process that could take days and cost thousands in legal fees. With Aracor, I simply uploaded the files, entered a prompt—“outline restrictions on [entrepreneur] starting a software business”—and got a detailed breakdown in less than a minute, with links to every relevant clause. What used to take hours now takes moments.

Aracor is a co-intelligent legal platform designed for high-growth sectors like venture capital and private equity. It automates tasks like contract review, due diligence, and compliance with tools such as 1-Click Document Summarization, automated redlining, and OCR with signature verification. Its due diligence features let business leaders assess new ventures without upfront legal fees, helping them make sharper, more informed decisions.

Why this Changes the Game for Dealmaking

CEO Katya Fisher, who has both legal and business expertise, built Aracor with the aim of offering tailored, proactive insights while ensuring top-notch security. The platform uses enterprise-grade encryption and Secure Language Models™ to protect sensitive data.

‍

When I first heard about AI’s potential to change the legal field, I was skeptical. But after using Aracor for several months, I’m convinced. Its ability to analyze complex documents quickly and accurately isn’t just a time-saver; it’s a competitive advantage. For advisors like me, it’s a powerful tool that helps us better serve clients in fast-moving industries. The real question now: how far can this technology go? Kevin J.

The Challenge of Due Diligence

Legal teams are highly skilled, but they face challenges when reviewing thousands of pages manually. Human review is naturally limited by time and cognitive capacity, making it difficult to catch every risk factor or inconsistency. When handling high-stakes transactions, compliance reviews, and contract negotiations, missing a single red flag can lead to financial loss, regulatory issues, or failed deals.

Traditional due diligence requires painstaking review, but even the most skilled professionals can overlook subtle risks hidden in complex contracts and legal documents. With the increasing volume of data that legal teams must process, a smarter solution is needed.

Legal teams don’t fail because they lack expertise. They fail because humans were not built to read thousands of pages at machine speed. When handling high-stakes transactions, compliance reviews, and contract negotiations, missing a single red flag can lead to financial loss, regulatory issues, or failed deals.

Aracor’s artificial intelligence transforms the due diligence process. By automating risk analysis, compliance checks, and document comparisons, our AI-driven platform acts as an extra layer of protection, ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks.

How Aracor AI Detects What Humans Might Miss

‍What Is a Small Language Model (SLM)?

A Small Language Model (SLM) is a compact and specialized AI model designed for targeted applications. Unlike a Large Language Model (LLM), which processes vast datasets for generalized tasks, an SLM focuses on precision and efficiency. By narrowing its scope, an SLM excels in specific domains, making it ideal for industries requiring specialized solutions, such as legal technology.

For example, an SLM tailored for legal use can analyze contracts, extract essential terms, and streamline document reviews. These capabilities make the SLM a practical and effective choice for handling complex tasks while maintaining an efficient and resource-conscious framework.

Key Differences Between an SLM and an LLM

An SLM and an LLM differ in size, efficiency, and purpose. An SLM is designed to be smaller and more efficient, requiring significantly less computational power and storage. This efficiency makes an SLM more accessible and cost-effective compared to an LLM, which often demands extensive resources to function.

Precision is another key difference. While an LLM provides broad and generalized outputs, its lack of specificity can limit its effectiveness in niche applications. An SLM, however, is fine-tuned for specialized domains, such as contract analysis, ensuring depth and accuracy within its focus areas.

An SLM also prioritizes speed, delivering real-time responses due to its streamlined architecture. This responsiveness is critical in industries like law, where time-sensitive decisions are routine. Furthermore, an SLM is often deployed in secure, on-premise environments, addressing stringent data privacy and compliance requirements—a feature not always guaranteed with cloud-reliant LLM.

Why SLM Matter for Legal Professionals

An SLM offers tangible benefits for legal professionals by addressing the industry’s core challenges: precision, efficiency, and security. It automates labor-intensive tasks such as contract redlining and due diligence, freeing up valuable time for legal teams to focus on strategic activities that demand human expertise.

Security is a standout feature of an SLM in the legal field. By operating in secure environments, it safeguards sensitive client data while delivering advanced AI capabilities. This balance of innovation and privacy enables legal professionals to integrate an SLM into their workflows confidently, without compromising data integrity.

Moreover, an SLM is cost-effective. Its compact design reduces the barriers to AI adoption, making advanced technology accessible to law firms and corporate legal departments of all sizes. This combination of efficiency, precision, and affordability positions the SLM as an essential tool in the modern legal landscape.

The legal industry has long been seen as an immovable force, governed by tradition and resistant to change. For Katya Fisher, those established norms were not rules to follow but challenges to overcome. Her career reflects a determination to do more than navigate the system. She set out to reimagine it entirely, blending creative problem-solving with a drive to transform how lawyers work. Along the way, she realized that excelling in law was not enough. The profession needed better tools, and Katya was determined to build them.

Katya graduated from law school during the Great Recession, a time when jobs in law were scarce and competition was fierce. Many new lawyers found themselves stuck, waiting for the economy to recover. But Katya took a different approach. At just 27, she launched her own law practice, a bold move that set the stage for her career.

The decision paid off, with Katya’s practice growing into a high six-figure business and eventually leading her to a partner role at an AM200 law firm, where she also served as a data privacy officer. Yet, even as she reached new heights, she could not ignore the inefficiencies around her. Much of the work felt outdated. Manual processes, fragmented systems, and tools did not match the complexity of modern legal challenges.

Katya’s ability to think beyond tradition brought her to Constructor Group, where she oversees legal operations across more than ten countries and multiple industries. From managing intricate legal frameworks for a venture capital fund to guiding governance for a nonprofit, Katya became known for handling complexity with precision. But as her career expanded, so did her frustration with the tools available to her.

“There were too many moments where I thought, ‘Why doesn’t something better exist?’” Katya explains. That recurring frustration ultimately became the foundation for Aracor AI, a platform designed to address the inefficiencies she had encountered throughout her career. Blending artificial intelligence with human expertise, Aracor enhances security, automates repetitive tasks, and streamlines workflows. It tackles problems that felt all too familiar to Katya, whether simplifying contract reviews or protecting sensitive data through automated redaction.

“When I was building Aracor, I kept thinking about the tools I wished I had,” she says. “The goal is to empower legal teams to focus on what really matters, which is strategy, decision-making, and creating value.”

This vision resonated when Katya introduced Aracor AI at a CodeX group meeting at Stanford Law School, a hub for legal technology innovation. The gathering brought together professionals eager to tackle similar challenges, making it the perfect venue to showcase the platform’s potential. “The feedback was incredible,” she recalls. “It showed me that I wasn’t alone in these frustrations and that there’s a real hunger for change.”

Aracor’s success lies in its ability to address real-world pain points. By automating tasks like due diligence and regulatory compliance, it saves legal teams time and allows them to focus on higher-value work. The platform’s impact is rooted in Katya’s own experiences as a lawyer, navigating outdated processes and using that insight to create something better.

Katya Fisher’s journey is a masterclass in turning obstacles into opportunities for innovation. From launching her own practice during an economic downturn to building a platform poised to reshape the legal industry, she has shown that progress is not about waiting for the right moment. It is about creating what is needed to move forward.

In the high-stakes world of venture capital, private equity, and cross-border M&A, the devil is often in the (translated) details. Business today is inherently global — term sheets originate in Singapore, diligence comes from Frankfurt, and negotiations unfold over WhatsApp in Dubai. Yet language remains one of the most underestimated obstacles to deal velocity and risk mitigation.

Aracor AI is changing that.

At the core of Aracor’s platform is multilingual document review powered by advanced AI translation. But Aracor’s goal isn’t to translate War and Peace into Spanish — it’s to help dealmakers read, understand, and act on high-stakes documents — NDAs, MSAs, shareholder agreements, LPAs, convertible notes — across languages and jurisdictions. In short: Aracor enables cross-lingual dealmaking without delay.

It preserves intent, nuance, and legal structure across more than 30 languages. English to Mandarin? Seamless. Arabic to French? Structured. Korean diligence in a London data room? Instantly legible.

Where other platforms falter with legalese and business context, Aracor thrives. Its models are trained on financial, legal, and regulatory corpora — analyzing and translating at enterprise scale.

Crucially, Aracor lowers the need to rely on foreign counsel just to interpret documents — saving firms time, legal overhead, and outside costs while enabling internal teams to triage faster and smarter.

And there’s more coming: Dropbox, Google Drive, SharePoint, Box, and more — direct integration with your document vaults is planned for Version 2.

In a world where deals don’t wait for interpreters, Aracor helps global capital move at the speed of thought — no translator required.

By the Aracor Team

As global focus sharpens on AI governance — including the Council of Europe’s new Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence (https://www.coe.int/en/web/artificial-intelligence/the-framework-convention-on-artificial-intelligence) — it’s clear AI is no longer just a tech issue. It’s a capital markets issue.

The treaty, like its cousins in Brussels and DC, is draped in the usual virtues — human rights, democracy, and rule of law. But for those in venture, private equity, and M&A, it signals a future where speed collides with sovereignty, and legal ambiguity becomes a new kind of friction.

Aracor wasn’t built to debate AI ethics — it was built to accelerate capital. Our tools give CEOs and in-house counsel leverage by mapping legal DNA, flagging regulatory risk, and helping deals move through complexity without getting stuck in it.

Example: a U.S. firm targets a European AI startup. One algorithm is flagged “high-risk” under EU law. The deal freezes. With Aracor, it’s flagged early, structure is adjusted, and the deal moves. That’s not compliance. That’s velocity.

The West may regulate. China may ignore. But advantage belongs to those who understand not just the law — but its lineage, incentives, and escape hatches.

And most importantly: what’s required to close deals and create value — for companies and their customers.

The National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) model term sheet is a solid starting point. But deals don’t happen in a vacuum — and real-world nuance matters.

Here are 10 things I always recommend including in a term sheet to save you from confusion, drift, or unnecessary friction later:

1. Valuation + Ownership Table

Yes, include pre-money valuation and price per share.
But also attach a cap table showing actual post-close ownership, fully diluted.
Too many deals get tripped up arguing about percentages that were “understood” differently.

‍Pro tip: Make sure it includes the option pool and any convertible instruments still outstanding.

2. Board Composition‍

Specify exactly how many seats there are, who appoints whom, and whether seats are tied to specific share classes or % thresholds.

Real world trick: Add what happens in the next round. Do current investors lose seats? Keep them as observers?

3. Protective Provisions

Define what actions require preferred consent — mergers, new equity, debt, hiring/firing execs, etc.

Bonus tip: Don’t just say “standard NVCA list.” Call out any non-standard protections so they don’t get buried later.

4. Liquidation Preferences

1x, participating, non-participating, capped? Get specific.

Real world risk: If you’re stacking multiple rounds, clarify whether preferences are pari passu or senior by class. This becomes a huge deal in down exits.

5. Option Pool Mechanics

Will the option pool come from the pre-money or post-money? And how big is it?

Pro tip: Get both sides to agree to an actual option budget, not just a % placeholder — especially if you’re hiring aggressively post-close.

6. Founder Vesting / Re-Vesting

Are founders fully vested? Will any shares re-vest? What happens if someone leaves?

Real world trick: If there’s a cliff or accelerated vesting, define the triggers. Don’t assume everyone reads “single trigger” the same way.

7. Pro Rata Rights

Spell out who gets to participate in future rounds — and for how long.

Pro tip: If early investors are getting squeezed in future pro rata, this is the place to protect them.

8. Information Rights

Define what investors get and how often — financials, board decks, budgets.

‍Real world trick: If someone’s putting in real money but won’t have a board seat, use this section to keep them informed without making the board table too crowded.

9. Use of Proceeds

You don’t need a spreadsheet, but a basic breakdown helps avoid future friction.

‍Pro tip: Call it out if any founder liquidity or debt paydown is part of the round — no one likes surprises here.

10. Special Terms (aka: the “things that always cause confusion later”)

This is your catch-all for whatever’s unique to your deal:

• Are you cleaning up SAFEs? Be specific about how they convert.
• Are there any side letters or advisory shares? Call them out.
• Is there a milestone-based tranche? Spell out the terms.

Real world trick: If it affects control, economics, or perception — it belongs in the term sheet.

Bottom line:

The best way to protect a deal is to document alignment early.
The worst mistake? Treating the term sheet as a handshake, then being surprised when final docs don’t match.

‍That’s why we use Aracor to match term sheets against final documents.

It catches the drift, flags missing terms, and makes sure what you sign at the end is what everyone agreed to at the start.

Because clean deals don’t start with clean term sheets.They start with clear ones.

One of the biggest blind spots in legal and deal work?

We’re great at closing. We’re terrible at maintaining

I’ve seen it everywhere — from early-stage companies to complex, PE-backed portfolios:
Everyone obsesses over the signing. And then the deal docs get zipped into a folder, buried in a drive, and forgotten — until someone must dig them up in a crisis.

But here’s the thing: your law firm moves on. You don’t.

The general counsel, the CFO, the investor — you are the one who must live with the deal.
You’re the one fielding questions. Tracking veto rights. Checking compliance. Untangling what got signed when no one can remember which version was final.

Legal portfolio management isn’t just about avoiding mistakes. It’s about staying in control of the structures you’ve already built.

Who has what board rights across your cap table?
When do special veto powers expire — or kick in?
How do distribution waterfalls work across a multi-entity structure?
What quiet landmines are sitting in your old side letters, convertible notes, or carve-outs?

If you can’t answer these quickly, you’re not managing your portfolio.You’re just constantly reacting to it.

Recently, I talked to a deal team whose lawyer retired and left no successor to manage past deals. They were especially concerned about their new counsel's ramp-up period — particularly around buried investor side letters, MFN clauses, and nuanced investor rights hidden deep in their portfolio.

That’s why we built Aracor to solve problems like this

Not just to pull clauses. But to guide teams through the structural reality of the deal: Board control. Voting dynamics. Liquidity rights. True-up provisions. Waterfall math.
Across dozens — or hundreds — of contracts, over time.

Aracor doesn’t just store your deals. It understands them. So you can respond with confidence — anytime someone asks, “What are we actually obligated to do here?”

If you're managing post-close complexity, there's a better way.

You Can’t Trust AI Without Security. That’s Why We Built Aracor Differently.

Everyone’s racing to bolt AI onto the enterprise stack. But few are asking the real question:

Can we trust what we’re building on?

At Aracor, we didn’t start with LLM hype or generic copilots. We started with threat models — because if you’re handling deal data, legal strategy, or sensitive financials, the cost of a breach isn’t just a PR event. It’s a deal collapse.

We Designed Aracor for the Work That Actually Matters

We built a security architecture we’d trust with our own transactions.

Picture a car designed for impact — engineered with reinforced steel framing, internal roll cages, and calculated crumple zones that channel force away from the core. That’s how we approached Aracor: not just sleek on the surface, but structurally secure at every layer.

1. Data stays locked down
 - Encrypted at rest and transit, no exceptions;
 - No shadow copies. No blind spots.

2. Access is earned, not assumed
- Role-based permissions. SSO. 2FA;
- Effectively practicing zero trust architecture in productive environments.

Model Flexibility That Doesn’t Compromise Control

Aracor is LLM-agnostic by design. We give clients the freedom to choose the right foundation models for the job — without sacrificing security or sovereignty.

One example: we support DeepSeek-R1, a powerful open-source model that performs on par with commercial offerings. But here’s the difference: we deploy it entirely within private, secure infrastructure — with zero reliance on Chinese servers or third-party data endpoints.

Why does agnosticism matter?Because it’s not just about preference — it’s about resilience.

If a model vendor goes offline, introduces regressions, or becomes compromised, Aracorswitches—automatically. No service interruption. No scrambling.

Your data flows. Your deal keeps moving. Your AI doesn’t break.

Security That Doesn’t Just Protect — It Enables

Security isn’t just a shield. At Aracor, it’s what makes our platform usable for real Deal Intelligence — the kind involving:

• Redacted documents
• Deal docs
• Term sheets
• Liquidation waterfalls
• Diligence rooms
• And other high-sensitivity workflows

Unlike most vendors, we don’t train on your data.

We don’t leave audit gaps.

We don’t hope nothing breaks — we assume it might, and plan for it.

Future-Proof AI Ethos

LLM prompt injection. Embedded exploits.

We’ve already threat-mapped them. We’re building protections now — not after something hits the headlines.

Aracor is SOC 2 compliant, supports FIPS-compliant encryption standards, and is GDPR compliant.

The Bottom Line

Secure AI infrastructure
Trusted for M&A, legal ops, and venture finance
LLM-agnostic, including an option for secure deployments of DeepSeek-R1
No data leakage, no foreign dependencies
Built for modern enterprise workflows

Business only moves as fast as the system it’s built on.

Aracor is that system.

Aracor’s Dual-Mode AI: Precision When You Need It, Exploration When It Counts

In high-stakes dealmaking, AI must be both precise and adaptable. Aracor delivers that with two distinct operating modes:

Pro Mode

A controlled environment with strict guardrails. It only thinks from the documents and data you provide — contracts, diligence reports, financials. No guessing, no outside sources. Just structured, repeatable analysis.

Discovery Mode

A flexible sandbox for open-ended inquiry. It draws on broader sources — regulations, market chatter, news — and lets you test assumptions, check external context, or dig into non-obvious risks.

You can shift between these modes instantly, without losing your place in the workflow.

Use Case: Cross-Border M&A Deal Evaluation

You’re assessing a target company in a cross-border M&A deal:
 
 - In Pro Mode, Aracor analyzes your internal corpus: the share purchase agreement, ESG disclosures, board minutes, and jurisdiction-specific compliance docs. It operates strictly within that dataset, ensuring reliable, auditable output.
 
 - Then your risk team flags vague ESG language tied to Brazilian operations. You’re unsure if similar language has triggered enforcement elsewhere.
 
 You switch to Discovery Mode:

• Aracor brings in Brazilian regulator filings, regional press, and NGO reports.
• You ask: “Has language like this triggered enforcement in the past five years?” It finds precedent cases and risk commentary.
• You tag insights and return to Pro Mode to package a structured risk memo for committee review.

Why Aracor Wins Where General LLMs Fall Short

General-purpose LLMs are often too open-ended for M&A work. They pull from public sources, risking hallucinations or unverifiable claims. You get text, not trusted insight.

Aracor is purpose-built:

• Pro Mode confines analysis to your deal room. Nothing extra.
• Discovery Mode lets you intentionally widen the lens, traceably.That switchable control gives deal teams both rigor and reach — no compromises.

The Challenge of Imperfect Documents

Legal professionals and corporate teams frequently encounter scanned contracts, handwritten notes, and poorly formatted documents that complicate their workflows.
