Justin Kan | Hustle Con 2018

About this video

Justin Kan, founder of Twitch and co-founder of Atrium, discusses why he started a legal services startup for founders and shares three key growth strategies: hiring credible top-tier legal talent as co-founders, providing free pitch coaching and bootcamps as lead generation, and raising Series A capital from a broad network of investors who became referral partners.

Key takeaways

• Justin identified recurring pain points in legal services for founders: unpredictable pricing, slow response times, variable quality, and lack of transparency—motivating him to build Atrium with fixed pricing and streamlined processes
• Hiring experienced attorneys like co-founder Augie Ricco from top firms was critical to overcoming founder skepticism about trusting a new law firm with sensitive legal work
• Justin used free value-add services (pitch coaching, quarterly bootcamps called Atrium Scale) as lead generation, eventually converting ~25% of bootcamp participants into clients, and structured Series A fundraising to turn investors into referral partners rather than potential blockers
