About me

Building Legal Tech AI-powered SaaS. I’m Natallia, a Finance Director/Chief Accountant turned LegalTech founder in Dubai. After years inside finance and tax, I saw how fragmented UAE legislation is (Arabic/English PDFs, weak search, slow workflows). I’m building Exara.Legal — an AI platform that delivers source-backed answers with citations, converts questions into step-by-step compliance checklists, automates contracts/templates, and provides a data-upload check that produces audit-ready reports. I’m currently forming the core team and raising pre-seed to complete a 6-month MVP and launch in the UAE, then scale across the GCC. I’m looking for a Founding Engineer (AI/LLMs) who loves shipping from zero to one and a value-aligned investor who believes in practical, regulated AI. Location: Dubai (UTC+4) • Languages: English, Russian • Availability: immediate.
