We build companies inside the industries we know.
Legaltech, banking core, insurance operations, regulatory automation. Founders bring the domain; we ship the first product with them, and stay through the first customer.
Every one of these ventures started with a founder who had shipped inside a regulated operation — and a Pillor operator seated next to them on day one.
Four verticals live · Nine founders in flight · €12M deployed at seed across direct and LP co-invest.
The next generation of European legaltech is not being built by tooling vendors. It is being built by former operators who left the practice with a specific pipeline in mind.
We build those companies with them. Same office, same standups, same engineers. Not an accelerator, not a fund with a deck. A co-founder that ships.
We stay through the first paying customer, the second, the third — until the company owns its own rails and can hire the next operator itself.
From day one to institutional round.
- Week 0Founder + operator seated
You bring the domain. We bring the engineers and the operating posture. Same room from day one.
- Week 3First operator interviews
We enter the first target customer's operation together. Diagnosis in the wild, not in a deck.
- Week 6MVP live in production
First real customer. First real invoice. No shadow environment, no pilot purgatory.
- Week 12First contracts, second cohort
Second and third customers. The rails start to compound. The market map fills in.
- Month 9Institutional round
Series A conversations. We stay through the round with introductions to LPs already inside the sector.
The best legaltech companies are built inside the operation. That is our advantage.
An accelerator sees the deck. We see the pipeline. That difference compounds every week.
Six companies, engineered from the inside.
Claims triage across P&C carriers. Cuts first-response time to hours.
Treasury reconciliation for tier-2 European banks. Ships into core.
Clause libraries and playbooks for in-house counsel. Product, not paper.
Case management for supervisory authorities. Built with a national regulator.
Litigation case management for boutique firms. Deployed across three jurisdictions.
Supervisory reporting for wholesale banks. One source of truth for the filings.
I brought the domain. Pillor brought the operator posture and the engineers. Six weeks later we were in production. Nine months later we closed a Series A.
