Workday has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Evisort, a Vertex portfolio company.
Evisort founders displayed three attributes that impressed investors: strong understanding of contract law, customer empathy, and the ability to be nimble and responsive.
Jerry Ting and Jake Sussman, both with JDs from Harvard Law, aimed to automate monotonous tasks for lawyers.
Evisort's adoption of emerging technologies and focus on customer needs contributed to its success.
