Coincidentally, we started Lawdingo to answer just that. \r\n\r\nIf you're looking for a lawyer, we encourage you to try finding an easier way to get one to work for you. If you are a lawyer working in solo or small practice, we encourage you to find a more effective way to grow your law practice. \r\n\r\nWe also encourage you not to take our word for it. Read what Solo Practice University, the ABA Journal, FindLaw, AboveTheLaw, TechCrunch, Lifehacker, and others say about us. This isn't some fly-by-the-night company.

Bryan developed an interest in entrepreneurship when he first started reading PG during his PhD program. We met in 2015 when Bryan was running a product development firm and I was considering hiring his firm to build our early prototypes. Bryan decided to take the leap and offer to join as co-founder and we were off to the races. The company got started a little before that when I was a graduate student at Chicago Booth cooking for myself one day, using multiple appliances and taking 2+ hours to make an ordinary meal — and thinking that all these appliances could be automated. After a lot of customer research, it became clear that cooking was just one part of the journey to get a meal on the table and that if we wanted to deliver on the holy grail of quality and convenience, we had to control the full end-to-end experience from shopping to prepping to cooking to cleaning. Thus, Tovala was born." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator?

And I’m glad we did.Our experience applying and interviewing is one I won’t forget. I remember interviewing with Michael and Carolyn and Michael sending us down a rabbit hole of building a full size oven. Glad we didn’t do that 😂 . Going through the batch was fun. It was nice to have a cohort of people doing the same thing at the same stage. Wish I had more of that now, but there just aren’t as many companies of our size/stage around, in particular in Chicago. Fundraising was harder than we expected at demo day. Apparently people are scared of hardware + food companies. It took us 2 months to raise our seed round, but we did it eventually and things ultimately worked out." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/tovala", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2016/tovala.json", "year_founded": 2015, "city": "Chicago", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/tovalafood", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/tovalafood/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tovala", "github_url": "https://github.com/tovala", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/247ac2d1345ad129934e37ac634a887b3dd3edf1.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/215b71ed8bc20c041da98680caa17a3a1dfc6502.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 80062, "full_name": "David Rabie", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "Co-Founder/CEO of Tovala.

It’s specifically meant to be weasel-proof, so we’ve put a lot of effort into making sure there are no easy workarounds. Our target users are the type of people that have their friends manage their Screen Time passcodes, and have web blockers all over their Mac.\n\nHere are a few examples of what Overlord can do:\n\n* **Staying sober:** “Send a video blowing 0.00 on a breathalyser each night at 11pm, or text Jane: “John has skipped his evening check-in. Ensure he’s not relapsed”.”\n* **Undistracted on Mac:** “Lock me in from 9-5 each day on my Mac. Annoy me if I go on anything unrelated to work, and block if I go on any rabbit holes. Work is anything coding related.”\n* **Not skipping cardio:** “When I enter the gym, make sure I send a photo of 10 mins cardio, or charge me $5\".”\n* **My personal screen block:** “Block Instagram at all times, allowing me 1 min an hour, 15 mins if I send a photo of a meal, and unblock on Friday/Saturday nights from 7pm-4am. Charge me $50 if I disable Screen Time Permissions.”\n* **Mac productivity to co-founder:** “Track my Mac. Send a text to my co-founder of my total productive time each day at 11pm.”\n* **Showering after gym:** “When i get home from the gym, make sure I send a selfie if my hair wet within 30 mins or lose $5”\n\n**_No processed food:_** “Each time I spend money at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, make sure I send a receipt (with the exact amount spent to ensure I’m not cheating) and it must not have anything processed on it. Also no purchases from any dollar pizza store. If I do, charge me $50.”\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Cr1A0j6LBec\n\n**_Morning routine w/ screen blocking + charging:_**\\_ “Call me to wake me up at 7am, and block my apps at this point. I must send a photo of my fridge at 7:05, a video brushing teeth by 7:10, a photo of a coffee by 7:20, and a photo outside by 7:30 (unblock my phone at this point). If I miss any of these, call me, then if I am not telling you I’m taking action on the phone, charge me $1.”\n\nhttps://youtu.be/TVSTbu3jwKA\n\n**_Getting to work immediately:_**\\_ “Once I arrive at the office, I must start a 2hr focus session on my Mac within 15 minutes. If I exit this, or spend more than 10 mins distracted or inactive total, charge me $5 and text my co-founder that I’m distracted. Block all distracting sites.”\n\nhttps://youtu.be/I0NvyW7RQYM\n\n**Asks:**\n\n1. Give it a go at [chat.overlord.app](http://chat.overlord.app) !

I can set a Forfeit to force me to send a photo, inside the gym, each morning at 6am, or lose $20 each time I don’t.

Instead of filling out paperwork and waiting 6 months for a check, our software instantly applies rebates and manages the settlement in the background.\n\n# The Problem\n\nClean energy products have higher upfront costs while competing in markets defined by the importance of affordability (e.g. 60% of appliances are financed). Rebates are designed to offset these higher costs, but because rebates are complicated and not surfaced during buying decisions, consumers today choose products that are worse for both the environment and their wallets.\n\n# The Solution\n\nWe solve this problem by partnering with retailers to enable them to transform government and utility rebates into dramatically lower prices for their customers. This solution saves consumers money, increases retailer sales, and helps deploy rebates faster than ever.\n\nStarting with EV Chargers, we qualify consumers for all applicable rebate programs in real-time and advance their savings at checkout. After purchase, we work with the consumer to process the rebate and manage the settlement with the rebate issuer.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69740&key=user_uploads/1202385/15a9b94d-59cc-4ebd-9cd8-2e27ba1df34a)\n\n# The Team\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69740&key=user_uploads/1202385/124cba11-ebdf-48b4-b7c4-56a3fa67421a)\n\nWe’ve both spent the last half decade helping merchants grow their businesses. Andrew was an engineer at Affirm, building servicing and payment systems scaling to billions of dollars in GMV. Thomas launched and GM’d markets for DoorDash both domestically and abroad. \n\nAs new homeowners we were both struggling to figure out what rebates were available and how they actually worked… and we’d spent weeks researching climate tech! Fellow consumers and retailers agreed, so in January of 2023, we started Upfront.\n\nWe're determined to help make clean energy products the obvious choice for consumers to stamp out the nearly 1 gigaton of CO2E emitted from America’s 124 million homes annually.\n\n# The Ask\n\n* If you sell a product that receives government and/or utility rebates (especially EV chargers)–we’d love to chat!
