Alpha LegalTech

Singapore-based startup (founded 2018) that developed CompareNow, a text comparison and mark-up tool for legal professionals. Co-founded by former Clifford Chance lawyers Shawn Tan and Benjamin Kang. Launched in March 2020 through Clifford Chance’s Create+65 innovation lab. Described as ‘a simple tool that lets users quickly compare’ documents (ResearchGate). Initially available across Asia Pacific (Beijing, Hong Kong, Perth). Unfunded per Tracxn. No evidence of active product development or market expansion since the 2020 launch — the Clifford Chance Create+65 partnership appears to have been a one-off event. Referenced in Nov 2025 Chinese legal tech publication but only as a historical citation. No named customers beyond the Clifford Chance launch. Competes with established comparison tools (Litera Compare, Word’s built-in compare) that are deeply integrated into existing legal workflows. May have been an innovation lab project that didn’t scale into a sustainable commercial product.
