What We Do For You?
Put simply, we help you get your back office in shape, fast. From fundable-ready to scale-ready, we lay the concrete foundation needed to build your dream, without being buried and bewildered by legal paperwork.
Peace of Mind...
That it’s actually handled. We build systems that catch the stuff that typically slips, helping you avoid that random ops panic at 2AM.
Confidence…
Especially when talking to investors. When all your legal ducks are in a row, you walk into fundraising conversations with your head up and chest out.
Freedom…
To focus on what you’re great at. While we handle the operational mess, you stay on product, hiring, or whatever actually moves the needle.
Credibility…
Mainly with your team. A sloppy system can undermine trust. We help you build a company that feels real and robust, not duct-taped together.
Calm…
Before, during, and after storms. We help you through big moments with stability - scaling shouldn’t feel like flying without a parachute.

Why BVJ?
Because founders benefit from the best of both worlds: the level of
expertise of a law firm, and the cost savings of self-services. And the
BVJ benefit goes even further.
With more than a decade of providing fractional legal ops to founders, what we offer goes beyond services, we provide rich support. We team up and work with you to get you fundable, offering guidance and expertise along the way – so you get far more than you bargained for.
The Word on BVJ
More than a legal ops provider, Ben has been a mentor, a partner, and a steady hand through one of the most overwhelming parts of our startup journey.
Benjamin guided me through the early bootstrapping phase, helped divide back-office responsibilities across the team, shaped my fundraising strategy, and introduced me to his network of founders, advisors, and investors in the Bay Area. I learned a ton, avoided major pitfalls, saved time and money and ultimately decided to keep him on as an advisor.
FAQs
Legal ops is the behind-the-scenes function that keeps your startup legally sound and investor-ready, without overlawyering. It covers incorporation, IP, contracts, equity, compliance, and fundraising prep. Done right, it saves you time, money, and headaches.
Most founders ignore it until a messy cap table or missed filing tanks a deal. Up to 80% of startups fail due diligence which delay fundraising by at least 3 months in the best scenario. Start early, build lean, and stay ahead. We help you do just that.
BVJ covers the full legal ops stack from pre-incorporation to fundraising readiness and ongoing compliance. This includes organizing founder agreements, supporting entity formation, structuring IP and equity workflows, fundraising vehicles, cap table creation and management, templates, prepping data rooms, and supporting investor diligence. We also help optimize legal setup (e.g. Clerky, Carta) and flag when it’s time to bring in qualified legal or tax professionals. We don’t provide legal advice or act as legal counsel.
Yes, and many repeat founders do. But that’s usually after they’ve made costly mistakes and paid big law firms to clean things up. YC teaches its founders to use tools like Clerky and Pulley to cut legal costs. BVJ follows the same playbook.
We help you streamline legal ops by digitizing your docs, using smart templates, reducing negotiation friction, and managing equity online, all at a fraction of the cost and time of doing it manually or relying blindly on AI.
No. BVJ Consulting does not provide legal or tax advice. Our role is operational and strategic ; we help you implement the right processes, tools, and documentation, but we don’t replace your lawyer or tax advisor. When needed, we’ll refer you to qualified professionals or help you prepare to work more efficiently with them. Please refer to our terms for more details.
We assist companies at any stage, from pre‑launch to scaling. Whether you’re drafting foundational documents or optimizing existing processes, our goal is to give you strong operational footing.
Costs vary depending on your current setup and your operational needs. We offer a free initial consultation to assess your situation and propose a customized service plan that aligns with your stage and budget.
Timelines depend on your needs.
We’ll provide an estimated timeline during your free consultation.
