But for Justin Kan, legal tech startup Atrium is solving a problem he felt acutely as a founder. The funding comes as Atrium has helped some of tech’s fastest-growing companies raise a combined $500 million, including scooter company Bird, Alto, MessageBird and Sift Science—250 clients overall. The startup will use the funding to hire more employees on both its legal services and technical sides. Atrium started with startup financings and now includes commercial contracts, blockchain and outside counsel in its offerings to clients. As for the unusual domain, Kan says that when he helped start Twitch, he didn’t like watching streamed games.
