Felicitas and Iraida Co Founders of Immigration Startup Gethedocs.com - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 123

If you've been following the news at all in the last 5 years, you're going to be inspired by this #startup. Felicitas Ukert is the Founder & CEO. Iraida Herrera is the Founder and VP. They met at Cornell Law School in 2019 when they were both pursuing their LLM's. It was during that time in law school that Get The Docs was born. They were aware of the crisis at the US border for those migrating from Central America. As they researched the issue of #immigration, they discovered many people already in the US often need to obtain documentation from their country of origin. They set out to make it easier to obtain documents from countries of origin. In order to do so, they needed to have contact with lawyers on the ground in those countries. That's what they did. Expecting they would have huge demand from immigrants moving to the United States, they were surprised to learn that was only about 50% of their inquiries. In fact, they also had significant inquiries from those in the US who were moving outside the country. Also, they have those in countries outside the US who need to obtain documents from an entirely separate nation state. Having such a broad total addressable market is both a blessing and curse. As it is difficult to describe to potential market to investors. You cannot tell investors the entire world is your market. So, they describe some of their experience in refining the product, the software, and their pitch. Felicitas and Iraida are most definitely addressing an issue where #legaltech can improve efficiency and help customers to rest at ease as the tracking of documents is outsourced to Get The Docs.
