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

Opportunity

FutureSight is seeking a Co‑Founder & CEO to lead LucentAI, an AI‑native litigation‑operations venture. This role offers meaningful founder equity rather than a salary. LucentAI functions as an autopilot for medical‑records and discovery operations in small‑to‑mid insurance‑defence firms, embedding in case‑management systems to retrieve and review records, flag key facts with confidence links, assess billing reasonableness, and chronologically triage discovery. The system is human‑gated, excluding legal drafting, and enables firms to scale case volume without adding headcount.

Market Context

LucentAI targets underserved small‑to‑mid U.S. insurance‑defence firms. The Phase‑1 beachhead serviceable addressable market (SAM) is estimated at $150 M–$600 M across 1,500–3,000 firms, with a full roadmap obtainable market (SOM) of approximately $110 M–$360 M. With 71 % of legal AI funding flowing to plaintiff‑focused companies, the defence market remains largely untapped, creating a clear need for technology purpose‑built for litigation defence and risk management.
