    DoNotPay is the A.I. consumer champion, automating consumer rights. The company is backed by an investment from Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Index Ventures, Founders Fund, Felicis and Greylock Partners. It has saved consumers an estimated $100 million and now works in hundreds of legal areas. The company has been featured in every major media outlet internationally, including the Wall Street Journal, BBC News, Guardian, CBC, Telegraph, Business Insider, ITV, TechCrunch, Daily Mail, NPR, Bloomberg, NBC, ABC, CBS 'This Morning', Telemundo and others. The BBC nicknames it, "the Robin Hood of the Internet." The company is currently valued at $210m; however, we are fortunate to be highly profitable and issue dividends to our investors and employees, one of the first "VC backed companies," to do so.
