Today MDR LAB welcomes two new companies, DraftWise and Jur, to their Improve Programme. As one of the three new programmes recently launched, Improve is closely modelled on MDR LAB’s original programme that has been running since 2017. The new changes to the delivery model now mean that businesses are able to join all year round.
Improve is designed for legal tech start-ups on the path to product-market-fit. Over the course of the 12-week programme, successful applicants will get the chance to work within their target market, access users and data and pilot and improve their products.
