Inside The LP Room by The Council Capital: The Creator Path to Venture Scale
Inside The LP Room by The Council Capital: The Creator Path to Venture Scale
We're back with the next Inside the LP Room - and this time, we're taking it off Zoom and bringing it live to Los Angeles!
Join The Council Capital for an intimate luncheon with Kristina Subbotina, Founder & CEO of Lexsy, the legal operating system built for startups and their investors. Kristina spent years inside Big Law before betting on a different path: building the infrastructure she knew founders desperately needed.
The legal stack for startups has been broken for decades - slow, expensive, and inaccessible at exactly the moments that matter most. Lexsy is changing that. Built by ex-Big Law and ex-Cooley lawyers, powered by AI, and trusted by 100+ startups navigating everything from formation to exit - every single original customer acquired organically through Kristina's 5M+ monthly reach.
That last part is rare.
In this fireside conversation, Amber Illig (General Partner, The Council Capital) will go deep with Kristina on what it actually looks like to go from practitioner to founder to venture-scale builder - how she built an audience before she built a product, why legal is one of the last major professional services ripe for AI disruption, and what she's seeing inside the infrastructure layer that most investors are still sleeping on.
Who Should Attend? LPs, family offices, angel investors, operators, and founders who want a front-row look at the emerging legal tech category.

Kristina Subbotina is the Founder & CEO of Lexsy, the legal operating system for startups and their investors. A former Cooley attorney, Kristina spent nearly a decade as a startup lawyer before leaving Big Law in 2023 to build something different. What started as a legal practice grew into a platform: Lexsy automates 80% of legal work - from formation to fundraising - with elite startup lawyers in the loop for strategy and complexity. Trusted by 100+ startups, Lexsy has become the legal infrastructure layer that high-growth companies switch to before their Series A and Series B.
