Help pick the 15 legal tech startups that will get to compete at the seventh-annual Startup Alley at ABA TECHSHOW 2023. Your votes determine the 15 companies selected to face off in a live pitch competition that will be the opening-night event of this year’s TECHSHOW, which is March 1-4 in Chicago. They also get to exhibit in a special Startup Alley portion of the exhibit hall.
Below are summaries of the semifinalists. Each summary links to more-detailed information provided by each startup in its application. Once you have reviewed them, you can FIND THE BALLOT HERE.
DEADLINE FOR VOTING IS FRIDAY, FEB. 3, 2023, AT 11:45 P.M. ET.
Important: Changes to the Voting this Year
In consultation with the TECHSHOW planning board, we have decided to make two notable changes to the voting this year:
- You will be limited to five votes. In past years, we placed no limit on the number of votes any one person could cast. This led to concerns about bot use and inflated numbers. This year, you will be able to vote five times on a single ballot. You may vote for your top-five favorites or five times for top favorite.
- We have listed 40 companies on the ballot as semifinalists. In past years, the judges narrowed the ballot to 25 semifinalists. This year, out of the 55 applications we received, the judges felt that so many deserved the opportunity to compete that we eliminated only 15 and we are putting the rest out for your votes.
The increase on the ballot from 25 to 40 companies made listing them all on a single page unwieldy. Thus, listed below are summaries of each (as provided by the startups), with links to pages containing more-detailed information as taken from their applications, including, for most, a demo video.
Please cast your vote here — and remember that the deadline is Feb. 3.

Catylex Contract Analytics
Elevator Pitch: For businesses that depend on contracts, Catylex Contract Analytics delivers quick answers without reading mountains of paper. Unlike others, we cover thousands of concepts out-of-the-box.

What makes you unique or innovative? Until now, Contract AI has been disappointing because of weak training. Unlike consumer AI (trained on terabytes), most Contract AI is trained on small samples of text. Vendors expect their customers to do the hard work of training for themselves. Catylex is disruptive because we truly deliver out-of-the-box Contract AI (we do all the work). Fundamental to our success is a fine-grained data model (many thousands of concepts) derived from decades of legal, commercial, and technical experience.
