Vesence growth playbook

Diagnosis

Vesence (Vesence AB, Stockholm; $9M seed led by Emergence, with Creandum, Y Combinator and 20VC) has strong product momentum: Vesence 2.0, Desktops, an App Store with 700+ legal agents, and a firm-wide rollout at Cederquist with 90% weekly usage. In the past year it has repositioned from "Flawless Legal Work, Every Time." to "The computer built for agents doing 99% of the work.", and it is hiring 12 people to take that to the US and Europe.

The gap is that the rest of the funnel still describes the old product. The help centre says Vesence is a legal Office assistant that needs a Microsoft 365 work account. The invite form promises nothing. The homepage shows investor posts on X rather than firm results. Customer stories are Nordic partnership announcements with one number.

This playbook first aligns the help centre, invite and demo flows and homepage proof with the new product. It then opens search and proof channels (the agent library as public pages, comparisons, real case studies, a US story, a trust centre) and ends with bigger bets on self-serve, the two-audience question and a report built from the product's own review data.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Make the first hour after someone says yes (an invite, a demo request, a first login) match the product the homepage now sells, and back it with measured results from firms like Cederquist.

Biggest Risk

Selling two products to two audiences at once (firm-wide legal AI against Legora and Harvey, and an agent computer for individuals) with a small team can blur the message and split the GTM hires.

01

Start here

The three moves to make first. Each one is written up in full below.

  1. 1

    Rewrite the help centre for the product the homepage sells: "What is Vesence?" still describes a legal Office assistant that needs a Microsoft 365 work account

    Put "What is Vesence?" and the homepage side by side and list every sentence that no longer matches.

    Export the last 90 days of invite requests and count them by role and by email domain type.

  3. 3

    Lead the homepage with firm proof (90% weekly usage at Cederquist) instead of investor posts on X

    Move the enterprise page's logo row and Cederquist quote onto the homepage above the X posts.

This week 5

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    The homepage now sells "The computer built for agents doing 99% of the work." to founders, engineers, lawyers and investors, and the invite form asks people to pick Founder, Engineer, Sales, Legal or Finance. A new user who opens the help centre reads something else. "What is Vesence?" says it is "an AI assistant for legal, commercial, and business document work". The setup guide says sign-in is "the same login you already use for Microsoft 365" and lists "A Microsoft 365 work account" as a requirement, without mentioning invites or invite codes. The FAQ says workspace files are "stored locally in your browser", while the homepage describes a computer in the cloud. A founder or engineer who just got an invite can easily conclude the product is not for them, or that the data story contradicts itself, before their first task runs.

    Smallest test

    Rewrite "What is Vesence?" and Setup & access this week and compare first-task rates for the next 50 invitees.

    Why it works

    Split the help centre into two clear starting points: "Vesence computer" (invite or individual access: how to redeem an invite code, which accounts work, what runs in the cloud desktop, how agents, Desktops and the terminal work) and "Vesence for firms" (the Microsoft 365 add-ins, admin deployment, SharePoint and iManage). Rewrite "What is Vesence?", "Setup & access" and the FAQ's security answers so they match the homepage and the enterprise page, and add a dated "Last updated" line. Link the right starting point from the invite email and the first-login screen.

    Activation drops when the first help page contradicts the pitch. The product has changed fast (Vesence 2.0 in August, Desktops in September), and the help centre is where new users and security reviewers check what is true. Fixing it costs days and protects every invite and demo that the new GTM hires generate.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Firm customers lose the Microsoft 365 guidance they rely on

      Keep every add-in article; only move it under "Vesence for firms" and redirect old URLs.

    • Security wording changes alarm existing buyers

      Have the security owner approve the new data answers and note what changed and when.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteHelp centre, "What is Vesence?": "Vesence is an AI assistant for legal, commercial, and business document work." and "It works like a junior colleague in a digital workspace." The article does not mention the cloud desktops or terminal that the homepage sells.Source
    • Your websiteSetup & access guide: sign-in is "the same login you already use for Microsoft 365", "There is no separate Vesence password", and the requirements list "A Microsoft 365 work account"; the guide never mentions invites or invite codes.Source

  • 02

    The invite form collects a role and "What would you love to build?", which is the best qualification data Vesence gets, but the page only says the team will be in touch. There is no expected wait, no confirmation of what they will get, and no fast lane for a lawyer or finance professional who is really a firm buyer.

    Smallest test

    Send a personal same-day reply to one week of Legal and Finance requests and count demos booked.

    Why it works

    Send an instant confirmation that states the expected wait and links to a 3-minute product video. Route Legal and Finance answers from work domains to the BDRs with a same-day demo offer, and let founders and engineers skip the queue when they bring an invite code (see idea 18). Use the free-text answers to choose which use cases to show in the first email.

    A waitlist only builds demand if people know where they stand. Routing on the role answer turns an anonymous queue into pipeline for the new US and Nordic BDRs.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Promising a wait you cannot keep

      State a range and update it monthly.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteRequest an invite page: Vesence is invite-only; the form asks for an email, a role (Founder, Engineer, Sales, Legal, Finance or Other) and "What would you love to build?"; it says the team will be in touch but gives no timing, price or next step.Source

    The homepage has no customer logos. Its testimonials are eight posts on X, mostly from investors and other founders (one reads "Your demo is maximum mogging"). The strongest proof Vesence owns sits elsewhere. The enterprise and demo pages name Cederquist, Kanter, Andulf and Snellman, and Cederquist's managing partner says "We have reached a 90% weekly usage across the firm." A managing partner or bank COO landing on the homepage sees investor posts on X where they expect peer firms.

    Smallest test

    Add the logo row alone for two weeks and compare demo requests.

    Why it works

    Add a logo row of published customer firms and the Cederquist 90% quote near the top of the homepage. Keep two or three investor posts lower down as founder-audience proof. Add one line on security (SOC 2 Type II) next to the demo CTA.

    Firm buyers look for peers before they book a demo. The proof already exists and is approved for the enterprise page, so this is a layout change.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Founder and engineer visitors find it too legal

      Keep the persona sections and test the order (see idea 20).

    The demo form asks for name, company, work email and a topic, then says "We reply within one business day." There is no calendar.

    Add a scheduling link to the thank-you message for two weeks.

    Why it works

    After the form is submitted, show a scheduler with 15-minute slots from the right team: SF for the Americas, Stockholm for Europe. Keep the topic answer so the call starts on their use case. Requests from personal emails go to the invite path instead.

    Booking at the moment of intent removes a day or more of back-and-forth and the drop-off that comes with it.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Unqualified bookings fill calendars

      Show the scheduler only for work-domain emails.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteDemo page: name, company, work email, a topic menu and a free-text box; "We reply within one business day."; no calendar to pick a time; states SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and processing in the EU; quotes from three Swedish law firms (Cederquist, Andulf, Kanter).Source

    Publish ten M&A agent pages and track impressions for a month.

    Why it works

    Generate a public page for each of the best 100 agents, then the rest: what the agent checks, the inputs it needs, a sample output (on public or synthetic documents), and the practice area. Group them into 16 practice-area hubs linked from the solution pages. Each page ends with "Run this agent" (invite or demo).

    Task-level pages match how professionals search ("check change of control clause", "prospectus checklist") and show depth that a competitor homepage cannot. They also give the BDRs specific links to send.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Thin pages

      Only publish agents with a real sample output and explanation.

    • Firm-built agents exposed

      Publish only Vesence-built agents, or firm agents with permission (idea 14).

    The Customer Cases category has 7 posts, mostly partnership announcements, and the only result published is Cederquist's 90% weekly usage. Competitors publish outcomes: Legora cites a 30-customer study (70% respond to stakeholders faster), and Harvey lists 25+ hours saved per month. Vesence spent three months inside Cederquist and runs reviewable agents, so it can measure more than any announcement shows.

    Smallest test

    Add two measured results to the existing Cederquist post.

    Why it works

    For each named firm, publish a case study with the problem, the workflow, the rollout and two or three measured results: weekly active share, tasks run per lawyer, review time on a standard document, errors caught by Check before client delivery.

    Vesence's site has no comparison pages; /platform/compare is the document-redline feature. The buyers it targets are choosing between Legora (a Stockholm rival with Word and Outlook add-ins), Harvey (3,500+ legal organizations) and the Microsoft Copilot they already pay for. The seed announcement says pilot users rated Vesence above Copilot, but no page makes that case.

    Publish Vesence vs Copilot first, the comparison every Microsoft 365 firm makes.

    Why it works

    Write three factual comparison pages covering where each tool runs (Office add-ins, web, cloud desktop), review model (tracked changes, approvals), firm-built agents, security certifications, rollout support and who each fits best. Be honest where rivals are stronger (for example Harvey's scale or ISO certifications), and add a switching or side-by-side pilot offer.

    Comparison searches come from buyers who are already deciding, and fair pages earn trust with careful professional buyers. They also give AI assistants a clear source on how Vesence differs.

    Why it works

    Pick the most engaged US pilot or early user, agree a 60-day success plan with two measurable outcomes, run it with the Customer Success playbook (idea 13), and publish the result as a case study and a joint webinar. Until it is public, use an anonymized version ("a US transactional firm") in outreach.

    One local reference changes US conversations more than any feature. It also proves the rollout playbook outside Sweden.

    Smallest test

    Post one before-and-after deck clip and count demo requests.

    Why it works

    Build a public page with three sample decks (a pitch, an IM excerpt, a board update) seeded with realistic errors. Visitors click "Run Check" and see the flagged issues on the slides. Phase two: let visitors upload a non-confidential deck after a work email, with a clear note on data handling. End with "Run this on your firm's decks".

    A live result sells a checking tool better than a description. The sample-deck version needs no customer data and no security review.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Visitors upload confidential decks

      Start with samples only; uploads come later with clear terms.

    Add a pricing and access answer to the FAQ this week.

    Why it works

    Publish one page that explains the ways to get Vesence: invite for individuals (what it includes and any cost), team and enterprise plans (what is in each: SSO, zero data retention, rollout support), and how a pilot works. Show prices where you are ready to, "from" prices or "contact us" where not. Link it from the invite form, the FAQ and the footer.

    A clear page cuts unqualified demo requests and lets serious buyers self-qualify. It also tells AI assistants how to describe Vesence's offer.

    Risks and how to handle them

      Show inclusions and "from" prices only for enterprise.

    Security answers are spread across /security, the enterprise page (SOC 2 Type II, zero data retention on the Enterprise plan, SAML/SSO), the demo page (processing in the EU) and a FAQ that says files are stored locally in the browser, which reads differently from a cloud computer where agents work. Legora and Harvey both show a trust centre and ISO 27001 and 42001 alongside SOC 2. Law firms and banks run security questionnaires before any pilot.

    Vesence's best result came from an unusual rollout: staff spent three months inside Cederquist's offices watching document review, and the firm (120 lawyers, per investor Creandum) reached 90% weekly usage. The new Customer Success hire is asked to "turn first users into firm-wide adoption". Right now that method lives in people's heads, and it will not scale to US firms and banks unless it is written down.

    The App Store lets firms build their own agents and submit them to a reviewed cross-firm store, and Cederquist lawyers have had the coding agent build PDF tools and bespoke workflows on the spot.

    Every customer named on the site is a Nordic law firm, and Vesence is hiring a GTM Lead and a BDR for the Nordics and Europe. Yet all 122 URLs are in English.

    Vesence has solution pages for banks and investment firms and workflows for financing and credit, fundraising and information memoranda. It is hiring a Founding GTM Finance to lead that segment.

    Publish one anonymized finance use case from an existing user.

    Why it works

    Pick one finance workflow where Vesence is strongest (for example IM drafting and checking, or a credit agreement review). Run a structured 60-day pilot with one bank or fund and publish the result. Rewrite the finance pages around that workflow with sample output (decks checked, models explained in Excel).

    Finance buyers want peer proof in their own workflow. One credible story unlocks the segment the new hire is measured on.

    Give each user who completes five tasks three invite codes, with a personal share link and a short pre-written post. Codes skip the queue. Track invites sent, redeemed and activated per referrer, and refill codes for people whose invitees become active.

    Scarce invites from a trusted peer convert far better than a waitlist, and the existing social buzz shows people want to share.

    The homepage now sells to Founders, Engineers and Investors as individuals, with examples like running coding agents alongside mail and calendar, or drafting IC memos. But the only paths are an invite request with no price or a demo built for firms.

    Offer paid access to 50 invitees at one price and measure take-up.

    Why it works

    Launch a monthly self-serve plan with clear usage limits (agents, desktops, storage), card checkout, and an upgrade path to team and enterprise. Keep invites for the queue, but let anyone with a code or a work email pay to start immediately. Use usage data to spot firms where several individuals already pay.

    Individuals who pay become the bottom-up entry into firms, and self-serve revenue funds the product without adding sales headcount.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Compute costs exceed price

      Usage caps and a higher tier.

    Split homepage visitors between the two hero messages for four weeks.

    Why it works

    Run two dedicated entry pages: /firms (proof, rollout, security, demo) and /computer (what you can build, invite or self-serve). Drive equal test traffic to each from ads, outreach and social, and measure cost per qualified pipeline and per active user. Use the result to decide which story leads the homepage.

    A clear primary story makes every hire more effective, and testing it costs less than a full rebrand.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Firm deals are too slow to measure in a quarter

    Vesence's product is built around review: tracked changes, approval before anything goes out, a Compare engine that declines instead of returning a wrong redline. That means it sees, in aggregate, how often professionals accept, edit or reject agent output, by task type. Nobody else publishes this, and law firms and banks are deciding how much to trust agents.

30/60/90 roadmap

What to focus on in each month, and the ideas that carry it.

  1. Days 1 to 306 ideas

    Fix the first touch: the help centre for the new product, invite follow-up, homepage proof, a demo scheduler, the mobile hero and a page on how access and pricing work.

  2. Days 31 to 609 ideas

    Open search and proof channels: public agent-library pages, case studies with numbers, comparison pages, a sample deck check, a trust centre, a named adoption programme, a changelog and newsletter, Swedish pages and invite codes to share.

  3. Days 61 to 908 ideas

    US and finance proof, firm-credited agents, then the big bets (self-serve, two front doors, the review report) and two wildcards.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value agents that work inside Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint, the tools lawyers already live in. The most cited problem: hours of repetitive quality control on documents, decks and emails.

  • Reviewable output: real tracked changes and nothing sent without approval
  • Security and data-handling questions before any rollout
  • In their words: “junior colleague”

Market

Competitive landscape

3 competitors compared: Legora, Harvey and Microsoft Copilot.

  • Gap to exploit: Measured, published adoption and time-saved results from mid-sized firms
  • Legora: Legal-only; no general agent computer for other professional work
  • Harvey: Built for very large legal organizations; less focus on smaller firms

Hiring signals

Vesence is building its first real go-to-market team, with 12 open roles in San Francisco and Stockholm.

  • Growth Engineer (San Francisco): Website, sign-up, onboarding and experiments. Ideas 1, 5, 6, 18.
  • Founding GTM (San Francisco): Leads US market entry to firm-wide rollout. Ideas 8, 9, 22.
