Co-Founder & CEO - AI LegalTech | AI-Native Litigation Defence Operations

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead LucentAI , an AI-native litigation operations venture in build at FutureSight. This offers meaningful founder equity, not a salary.

LucentAI serves as an autopilot for medical-records and discovery operations in small-to-mid insurance-defence firms. Embedding in case-management systems, it retrieves and reviews records, flags key facts with confidence links, checks billing reasonableness, and chronologically triages discovery. This human-gated system excludes legal drafting, externalizing review capacity so firms can scale case volume without adding headcount.

Market validation through FutureSight's discovery interviews confirmed strong demand:

- Operations is the wedge; autopilot is the vision. All buyers wanted managed operations. LucentAI provides end-to-end automation, earning trust incrementally by handling routine work silently while keeping legal drafting human. - The pain is in the dollars, not the dashboards.

One lead costs the middle phase at ~$1M/year in time and errors; a partner noted only ~$200K of a $1M medical bill was reasonable. With zero AI currently used, the ROI-driven payback case is immediate. - Capacity is the ceiling, and the record is the moat. Manual partner review caps case capacity and revenue.

Defence records and billing patterns form a proprietary dataset that plaintiff-focused incumbents lack.

We target underserved small-to-mid US insurance-defence firms.

The Phase-1 beachhead SAM is $150M-$600M across 1,500-3,000 firms; the full roadmap reaches a ≥$100M obtainable market (SOM ≈ $110M-$360M).

With 71% of legal AI funding flowing to plaintiff-focused companies, the defence market remains underserved, creating a need for technology purpose-built for litigation defence and risk management.
