Founding Designer
Why August
August is building AGI for law. Our agents mimic a lawyer’s reasoning, research, and drafting, and our workflows already outperform lawyers in third-party evaluations. We’re targeting mid-market law firms, automating their legal work and allowing them to provide our tools directly to their clients. Some reasons to join August are:
Exceptional Early Traction: >4x revenue growth in the past four months.
Global Reach: Our clients span 4 continents and use August in multiple languages and jurisdictions.
Frontier of Applied AI: August has access to proprietary data inaccessible to foundation model providers. We build agents to automate all challenging knowledge work.
Strategic investors: Backed by NEA and exceptional seed investors Pear VC and Afore Capital, August has the capital to execute.
Competitive compensation and office in downtown Manhattan.
Join August at an early stage as we scale our agents to process thousands of documents simultaneously and create outputs exceeding human-level accuracy.
