First Fund Backs Qase Inc

First Fund is pleased to announce the addition of Qase Inc to its portfolio, founded by Dan Zollmann. An engineer by training, Dan was the founding principal of AMBiT, a management consulting firm that booked $40M in revenues working across North America and in Australia. Dan and his core team spent 10+ years driving adoption of telehealth & tele-education by healthcare organizations & colleges/universities. Prior to founding Qase, they began bringing their expertise in telehealth and medical referrals to legal service delivery, leading major initiatives for the Law Society of Ontario and Law Foundation of BC.

Qase grows legal organization & law firm revenues by modernizing referrals & automating fee collection. It seamlessly integrates search, scheduling, messaging, video & payments into a single platform, removing friction from the client-lawyer journey from first contact to final payment. Key differentiating features include:

• Mass-scale calendar aggregation, enabling clients & booking agents to confirm lawyer availability in real time.

• AI-enabled client-lawyer matching.

• Streamlined, automated payment processing & referral fee tracking.

"Based on their track record of helping portfolio companies thrive, we know First Fund brings so much more than just funding. Sam and his team are already helping us with accounting support, and now we’re now leveraging their collaboration with Mitacs & the Centre for Digital Media to embed blockchain and AI technology into the Qase platform", said Dan Zollmann, CEO of Qase.

Talking about the partnership, First Fund founder Samarth Chandola remarked “Qase is a blend of Zoom and Stripe for law firms, tackling law firms’ very painful problems in a modern, online way. Their ability to automate fee collection alone is worth the price of entry. Legal firms' current method of receiving payments is antiquated and resource-intensive. Qase streamlines fee collection for both law firms and their clients through their easy-to-use SaaS platform.”
