{"id":99803,"title":"Regbase: Al-native Legal Research","tagline":"Hundreds of hours of legal research in one click! ","body":"**Regbase helps companies track new laws across the world and at the local level.**\n\nRegbase is an **AI-native research platform** built to help **legal teams, researchers, and government vendors** monitor regulatory changes across countries, languages, and **hard-to-find government sources**.\n\n[https://youtu.be/lY1La0A4iaw](https://youtu.be/lY1La0A4iaw?si=-dCa9ucc4Sq8jvXR)\n\n**The problem:** \n\nCompanies that need to track new laws still rely heavily on **manual research.** Many important updates are posted on obscure local websites, draft bill portals, consultation pages, social media, and other sources that may **never get indexed by Google or picked up by LLMs.** \n\nIf a law is not in English, not covered by the media, or it only applies at the local level, it can be **impossible to find.** \n\n\\\n**The solution:** \n\nRegbase finds these updates automatically, including draft bills, consultations, compliance requirements, and sales opportunities like grants. Then it analyzes them. \n\nSo far we have: \n\n* **Found $400M in expiring school safety grants** across the U.S. for a client selling protective equipment\n* Identified **80** **requirements** for greenhouse gas disclosure **in 45 countries** for a global manufacturer\n* Found **dozens of obscure laws in non-English languages, posted only on LinkedIn, Facebook or X**\n* Uncovered regulations hidden behind QR codes, and even one government website that required visitors to watch an ad! \n\n**Who we are:** \n\n**Natalie Aresta-Katz**, previously led a law firm practice research team at Paul, Weiss, tracking laws across dozens of countries and every state. **Ethan Shea** is a former Staff Engineer at Vercel with expertise building agentic infrastructure. They started the company after years of struggling with manual regulatory updates across jurisdictions and languages.\n\n**The ask:** \n\nWe are eager to help **lawyers and researchers** in all areas, including **employment, AI, climate/sustainability, and private equity.** We also work with **companies in regulated industries,** and state and **local government vendors.**\n\nVisit [regbase.com](http://regbase.com) or email us at [founders@regbase.com](mailto:founders@regbase.com) to book a time.\n\nFollow us:  [https://www.linkedin.com/company/regbase](https://www.linkedin.com/company/regbase/) | \u003chttps://x.com/theregbase\u003e","slug":"Pxj-regbase-al-native-legal-research","created_at":"2026-04-16T00:35:17.656Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T00:45:55.317Z","total_vote_count":28,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Pxj-regbase-al-native-legal-research","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":31279,"name":"Regbase","slug":"regbase","url":"https://regbase.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/fd72b079b781bbd2a4eb03627c44c4901fd5da63.png","batch":"Spring 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["Legal","Sales Enablement","LegalTech","Regtech"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/31279"}}
