About Undwrlyft

We spent three years in M&A practices. We know which clause is buried on page 147.

Undwrlyft was founded in Hartford in 2022. Sofia Petersen left a regional M&A practice to build the review tool she kept wishing existed on the days when the data room was already in front of her.

Sofia Petersen

CEO & Co-Founder

Sofia spent five years as a corporate associate at a regional M&A practice before leaving to build the tool she wished existed. She knows that the critical non-standard change-of-control provision is never on page one. She built Undwrlyft so associates find it on day one, not day four.

How we think about building this

  • We only flag what we're confident about. False positives destroy attorney trust.
  • Your documents are not our training data.
  • We build for mid-size firms, not BigLaw. Different volume, different workflow, same precision requirements.
  • We are practitioners building tools for practitioners. Not AI researchers building for legal.
