While a corporate bankruptcy lawyer at Morrison & Foerster, Jonathan Petts helped pro bono clients in financial distress file Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases. He loved the impact the cases made, but hated the hours of routine data entry they involved. Along with his technical co-founder, fellow Fastcase 50 honoree, Rohan Pavuluri, Jonathan founded Upsolve, the first cloud-based product to automate most of the bankruptcy process for legal aid organizations, allowing them to multiply the clients they serve. Upsolve has already become a resounding success, partnering with legal aid organizations in over 20 states.
