About Douglas Vannoni
Most AI companies don\'t know they\'re sitting on legal time bombs until due diligence kills their funding round.I help Series A/B tech companies identify and fix AI legal exposure before it costs them their next raise—or worse, their business.The Problem: Your AI implementation probably has exploitable gaps in IP ownership, data privacy compliance, or regulatory risk. These gaps are invisible until a lawyer on the other side finds them during diligence, litigation, or a regulatory audit.What I Do: I conduct AI Legal Compliance Audits that identify your specific exposure across:• IP ownership & licensing for training data• GDPR, CCPA, and state privacy law compliance• AI-specific regulatory requirements (EU AI Act, state laws)• Contract risk in customer/vendor agreements• E&O insurance coverage gapsMy Background:• 20+ years in media & technology (former CBS Digital Director)• Licensed attorney (New Mexico Bar)• Registered In-House Counsel for Digital E665, Inc.(New York)• Built AI agents and understand the tech operationally• Advised on IP, licensing, NIL, and privacy for 8+ yearsWho I Work With: VC-backed tech companies ($10M-$50M raised) implementing AI who need legal counsel that actually understands how the technology works.
