An Investment in Access, Equality, and Return

1. Executive Summary

The family law system is overloaded. About 3.8 million new cases hit the courts each year and in most of them at least one person goes it alone. People in the middle of life stress are told to figure out a legal maze with little help. That leads to worse outcomes and higher costs. ThreadLock is built to make the process clearer and fairer.

We are seeking $150,000 in non equity funding to launch. We will start with a Tribal pilot and an employee benefit. Target time to market is 6 months, profitability in 12 to 15 months, and full payback in 18 to 24 months. With strong uptake the return can be 5x or more.

2. The Market Failure

This started in a courtroom, not a boardroom. I represented myself. Law school did not help when I had no budget and no network. I thought I could manage. I was wrong.

The judge in my case had a record of serving the underserved. From the bench they were stuck in the same chaos I was.

I saw a good person boxed in by a bad system. The problem was not intent. It was the lack of a workable alternative.

That is what ThreadLock addresses. It is an information problem at scale.
