AI is revolutionizing the legal industry, but the hidden risks of hallucinations are costing companies millions. Discover how Monjur is solving the AI verification paradox by combining cutting-edge LLMs with human attorney supervision to protect growing businesses.

Rob Scott, Co-founder and CEO of Monjur, joins the Born in Silicon Valley podcast to reveal his journey from managing partner of a tech law firm to bootstrapping a legal AI startup to $3 million in ARR. He breaks down the exact RAG architecture and proprietary confidence scoring system his team built to eliminate AI hallucinations and achieve over 98 percent accuracy in legal workflows.

We dive deep into the challenges of pivoting a SaaS 1.0 company to an AI-first model, the realities of raising a Series A, and why the future of legal tech is about amplifying human empathy rather than replacing it. Whether you are a startup founder looking to leverage AI or an entrepreneur curious about the future of legal tech, this episode is packed with actionable insights on scaling a B2B SaaS business.
