In conversation with host John Chen, General Partner at Fika Ventures, Min-Kyu shares his founder journey from corporate law in New Zealand to building a cutting-edge AI-driven startup in Silicon Valley. He reflects on the cultural differences between the two ecosystems and why he felt compelled to relocate to the Bay Area to build his company.\n\nMin-Kyu also provides an inside look at Ivo’s core offering, explaining how it optimizes the redlining process, helping legal and business teams negotiate contracts more efficiently. Zooming out, he also dives into broader AI industry shifts, discussing the impact of developments like DeepSeek, and why startups must remain agile, adaptable, and not overly reliant on any single AI model.\n\nThe discussion further explores Ivo’s strategic roadmap, predictions for the future of contract law, and the evolving role of lawyers as AI becomes more sophisticated. Towards the end of their conversation, Min-Kyu shares insights into his leadership philosophy, hiring approach, and the key values that define an exceptional team member at Ivo."}
