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

About the role

FutureSight is seeking a Co‑Founder & CEO to lead LucentAI, an AI‑native litigation operations venture. LucentAI acts 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, check billing reasonableness, and chronologically triage discovery. The system is human‑gated, excluding legal drafting and externalizing review capacity so firms can scale case volume without adding headcount. Market validation through FutureSight’s discovery interviews showed strong demand: operations is the wedge, autopilot is the vision, and all buyers wanted managed operations. LucentAI provides end‑to‑end automation, earning trust by handling routine work silently while keeping legal drafting human. The pain point is financial — one lead costs ~$1 M/year in time and errors, while only ~$200 K of a $1 M medical bill is reasonable. With zero AI currently used, the ROI‑driven payback is immediate. Capacity is the ceiling, and the record is the moat; defence records and billing patterns form a proprietary dataset that plaintiff‑focused incumbents lack. The target market is underserved small‑to‑mid US insurance‑defence firms, with a Phase‑1 beachhead SAM of $150 M–$600 M across 1,500–3,000 firms and a full roadmap SOM of ≈$110 M–$360 M.
