While access to justice and the role that technology plays in achieving that mission has garnered more attention, compared to general legal technology companies, justice tech providers have struggled with investor interest.

The reasons are varied. For one, racial and gender biases work against many justice tech founders who tend to come from marginalized communities—uniquely inspired by their experiences living in communities where traditional legal processes have failed. Another big reason is that investors have struggled to see the promise of profit on their investments in justice tech solutions.
