Vector's newest and only blog post tells founders that legacy firms take four to six weeks and $80,000 to $200,000 to close a Series A, then lays out a 10-day calendar. But it never says what Vector charges, and the body ends without a call to action. The Series A service page gives no fee either, only "about half the cost of Big Law", and llms.txt tells AI assistants not to quote fees. A founder holding a term sheet is the most motivated visitor the site will get, and they have to fill in a five-step form and wait up to a business day to learn the price.

Why it works
Publish a fixed-fee Series A package for company counsel: one all-in price for a standard NVCA round up to a stated size and number of lead investors. Spell out what it includes: term sheet review, the five NVCA documents, the disclosure schedule, closing checklist and filings, and a VectorOS data room for diligence. Then list what costs extra: multiple leads, unusual terms, or cleaning up past issues. Make the 10-day calendar the service promise when the founder clears the post's readiness list. Put the price box at the end of the 10-day post and at the top of /services/series-a, with a "Start my Series A" button that opens the intake form with Series A already selected. Add the price to both pages' Markdown versions and to llms.txt, so assistants can quote the real number instead of being told not to. Outcome-based pricing is already a stated option, so this packages what Vector already offers rather than inventing a new model.
Founders compare counsel on price and speed at the moment they read this post, and Vector's own figures ($80,000 to $200,000 elsewhere, about half that here) make a published number persuasive. A fixed fee removes the fear of an open-ended hourly bill, which keeps founders with their current firm, and it gives the new GTM manager a concrete offer for outbound.
