A ready-made library ships with the account: founder-tested templates (NDAs, SAFEs, employment offers, DPAs), 360+ legal prompts, and 330+ legal AI skills that review contracts, run due diligence and draft policies.
Pricing after the free month
Standard pricing applies from month two, on whichever plan you chose. What each plan includes and how credits are metered is on Subscription plans; the live price list is on haqq.ai/pricing.
Referrals
The programme has a referral component: refer another startup, and when they are approved both sides are rewarded. What the reward is depends on which page of the marketing site you read, so it is not stated here until that is settled.
Accelerators, incubators and VCs
An investor or accelerator can bring HAQQ to a whole portfolio under a single agreement, with each startup getting its own free month.
Portfolio-Wide Deployment
Provide HAQQ access to all your portfolio companies with a single agreement.
Competitive Advantage
Help your startups move faster on legal work, from incorporation to funding rounds.
Global Coverage
Multi-jurisdiction support for startups operating across borders.
HAQQ already works this way with AstroLabs, Beirut Digital District, Station F and Antler. For a portfolio arrangement, write to growth@haqq.ai or see Partner.
Questions
What counts as an eligible startup?
Startups from pre-seed through Series B, plus companies in recognised accelerators or incubators. Legal tech companies building on the platform also qualify.
What exactly does the Startup Program include?
Approved startups get their first month of HAQQ free on any plan — the full product, no feature limits. After the free month you continue on standard pricing, and you can change or cancel your plan at any time.
Can VCs apply for their entire portfolio?
Yes. VCs and accelerators can apply for portfolio-wide access through a single agreement. Write to growth@haqq.ai for a custom partnership.
Is there a limit on team size?
No limit. Add as many team members as you need under the startup account — founders, in-house counsel, advisors and contractors.
Which jurisdictions does HAQQ cover?
Common-law and civil-law jurisdictions across the US, UK, EU, GCC and the broader MENA region. Coverage expands based on customer demand.
Is HAQQ secure enough for sensitive legal data?
HAQQ is compliant with ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR. Your workspace is isolated and your data is not used to train models.
Do I need an in-house lawyer to use HAQQ?
No. Founders without in-house counsel can draft, review and manage contracts, with the option to escalate to a human lawyer through the partner network.
Can HAQQ help with fundraising documents?
Yes. SAFEs, term sheets, side letters, board consents, cap table updates and investor reporting are all supported with templates and AI review.
What happens after the program ends?
You keep all your data, contracts and templates. You can continue on a standard plan, downgrade, or pause your subscription at any time.
Do I need a credit card to apply?
No. Applying is free and takes about two minutes. Billing details are only needed if you continue after the free month.
Which plan can I use my free month on?
Any plan — Starter, Pro or Business. Most startups begin on Pro, and you can change plans before or after the free month.
Does HAQQ take equity or charge a setup fee?
No. The Startup Program is a free first month and standard pricing afterwards. No equity, no setup fees, no long-term contract.
I came through an accelerator or VC — do I still apply here?
Yes. Name your accelerator, incubator or investor in the application and it is fast-tracked. AstroLabs, Beirut Digital District, Station F and Antler route their startups straight through.
Can I use HAQQ in my language?
Yes. HAQQ works in English, Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese, with jurisdiction-aware drafting across the US, UK, EU, GCC and MENA.
