Robert Ambrogi BlogElevator Pitch: Office & Dragons helps lawyers save days of time on their matters by streamlining document work. We’ve built the world’s only document automation platform based on Agile methodology, so anyone can get results instantly and iteratively expand and improve their automations over time.
What makes you unique or innovative? We have developed the world’s first and only document automation platform that is founded in Agile methodology. In doing so, we’ve flipped the traditional painstakingly slow model of document automation on its head. Users get results instantly, making small improvements to their templates iteratively and launching changes quickly to their team. Users don’t have to wait for a year before their template is usable and it remains flexible and evolves over time.
What problem do you solve? Office & Dragons helps lawyers at the world’s biggest and best law firms to save days of time on their matters by eliminating repetitive document work. It doesn’t matter if they use templates, precedents, bespoke documents or highly negotiated documents – our users can upload any document and instantly reduce repetition, unlocking significant time savings.
Your competitors? Our competitors are document automation solutions like Contract Express and Avvoka, though these are not fit for purpose when it comes to providing rapid elimination of repetitive document work in bespoke, negotiated, fast-paced matters. We are the only solution that can do this on the fly, without the need for advance planning and time-consuming template building.

Plan for growth over next five years. Our plan for growing the company over the next five years is to focus on organic growth and customer success. By consistently providing a high-quality product that meets our customers’ needs and making sure they are satisfied, we will be able to drive growth through referrals and word of mouth. We also plan to focus on profitability – our goal is to achieve profitability within the next one to two years, and to remain profitable from then on. We also plan to expand our team of engineers and customer success experts to continue to improve our product and support our customers. This year, we will start to invest more into actively reach out to potential customers via LinkedIn, email, conferences, and other channels. We are also seeing an increasing number of referrals to in-house customers and expect to start actively working with in-house teams either this year or next.
