ROSS Intelligence
The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
ROSS supplied legal-research software for lawyers and other legal researchers.
02 / ROSS Intelligence FAILURE REASONS
Failure reasons
The founders attributed the shutdown to the costs and fundraising disruption associated with Thomson Reuters litigation. They said another funding round could not be raised and operating cash was running out. These are management’s disclosed reasons; their characterization of the lawsuit is not adopted as fact.
03 / EVENT HISTORY
Events in the structured record
- Service closure announced
On 11 December the founders announced the shutdown and assistance for customers migrating elsewhere.
