The United Nations has declared Feb. 11 the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. To mark the occasion, Legaltech News has compiled a growing list of female and gender fluid founders who have created products and launched companies in the legal technology space.

Based on the legal tech funding news covered by Legaltech News in 2023, only slightly less than 9% of the companies who raised funds last year had women CEOs.
