INVEST IN JUSTICE TECH INNOVATION
Justice tech is scaling – and it needs informed capital.
Join the Justice Technology Association as an Investor Ally and help power a new generation of startups building transformative solutions that expand access to justice.
Investor Allies play a critical role in scaling justice tech – tools built by those with lived experience of the justice system to increase access, improve outcomes, and repair systemic harm.
WHY PARTNER AS AN INVESTOR ALLY
Justice tech represents both a unique challenge and an extraordinary investment opportunity. Many founders in this space come from underrepresented and justice-impacted communities – those closest to the problem and best positioned to solve it. Yet they receive less than 2% of venture capital funding, despite research showing that diverse founding teams deliver 30% higher returns at exit.*
JTA bridges this gap by providing early-stage support, ecosystem access, and visibility. As an Investor Ally, you back the future of justice innovation.
CENTERING EQUITY IN INNOVATION
Justice tech founders bring lived experience to the systemic barriers they’re solving. Founders from diverse teams not only outperform on returns – they design solutions that reach farther and do more good. Your support helps close the early-stage funding gap and amplifies innovations that wouldn’t otherwise reach the people who need them most.

THE GAP AND THE OPPORTUNITY
More than 120 million Americans face legal problems without help each year. Traditional solutions alone can’t meet the scale of the crisis. Justice tech startups are filling the gap with innovative, human-centered solutions – but they need early support to scale.
