The soft, golden light of the chandelier bathed the elegant dining room of Petit Caron, a fine French restaurant tucked away in the bustling Pijp in Amsterdam. The soothing hum of conversations filled the air, punctuated by the occasional laughter and clinking of glasses. Despite the restaurant's sophisticated ambiance, two women, Caroline and Ingrid, sat at a corner table engaged in a spirited conversation.

Caroline, a tall, slender woman with dark, wavy hair, was an accomplished lawyer who had made a name for herself in the world of litigation. Across from her sat Ingrid, a blonde, vivacious woman with an infectious smile, who had built a reputation as a formidable tax lawyer.

Their friendship, forged during their time at school, had only grown stronger over the years. Work, however, had led them to different cities, leaving them to rely on phone calls and social media to stay in touch. Tonight, they finally had the chance to meet in person after years of separation.

The spark 

‍

Between bites of her salmon, Caroline couldn't help but share her growing frustration with the hours wasted on ploughing through documents to find the evidence she needed, especially since her clients trust her to provide accurate advice fast.  

Ingrid nodded, intrigued. "I've noticed the same thing in my field. It's astonishing to see how much time we spend on such low value-add tasks." "The potential for transformative change is incredible," she said, her eyes lighting up with excitement. 

The conversation shifted to their shared admiration for the law and the fearless tech entrepreneurs who dared to challenge the status quo. As the night wore on, they discussed their own dreams and aspirations. It was in that moment that a spark of inspiration ignited between them.

The leap

On 1 April 2022, Caroline and Ingrid decided to take the plunge. With their combined expertise in law and a shared passion for technology, they founded their own tech startup, Uncover.
