A Law Firm Built for Founders, by a Founder
Anthony Malone doesn't have the typical background of a corporate lawyer. Before founding Nexus Venture Counsel, he built Scholar Bridge, a fintech company aimed at providing affordable credit to students from low-income backgrounds. That experience gave him a founder's perspective on what legal counsel should look like: responsive, transparent, and priced to align incentives.
At Nexus, that philosophy takes the form of flat-fee and subscription pricing. The firm's fully remote team leverages the latest legal technology to deliver big firm expertise — Anthony's own background includes stints at Wilson Sonsini and Egan Nelson — at a fraction of the cost. But flat-fee models only work when you can scope work quickly and accurately.
For startup clients arriving mid-stream — with rounds already closed, co-founder agreements already signed (or not), and equity grants already issued — scoping means understanding the full corporate history first. And with Anthony no longer billing by the hour, he can't afford to spend weeks doing it.
From Document Chaos to Flat-Fee Confidence
When a new client comes to Nexus, Anthony uploads their full document set into Marveri. Within minutes, Marveri organizes the files into the firm's preferred structure, generates a comprehensive cited corporate history, and flags risks and gaps across the record. What used to require hours of sorting through messy cap tables, half-executed agreements, and scattered amendments is done before the first call.
This speed is what makes Nexus's model possible. Because the firm charges flat fees, every hour spent manually reviewing documents comes directly out of margin. Marveri reclaims that time and turns it into faster client value — and a more confident quote.
At Nexus, we're building the most efficient law firm in the world — and Marveri is a key part of that. It saves us hours on every single new client.

Scaling at Startup Speed
In its first 100 days, Nexus onboarded over 60 clients — including startups backed by Y Combinator, Techstars, and prominent venture firms, as well as SMB entrepreneurs across multiple industries. Whether the engagement is a SAFE financing, a recapitalization, an equity incentive plan, or an M&A transaction, the starting point is always the same: a complete, cited picture of where the company stands today. Marveri delivers that in minutes.
There's no way we could have onboarded 60-plus clients in our first 100 days without Marveri. It's the backbone of our flat-fee model — because we can scope work accurately from day one, we're not eating hours on discovery.
