Dmitry Shubov Explains Regulatory Readiness for SEA Legal-Tech Seeking U.S. Venture Capital

FREMONT, Calif., Feb 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As accelerating legal-tech investment and product rollouts have drawn Southeast Asia's U.S.-targeting startups, U.S. investors are making their early-stage funding decisions more predicated on a startup's regulatory readiness and traction. Startups that treat legal and compliance as go-to-market advantages have shorter diligence cycles and better outcomes than those that treat these issues solely as afterthoughts. This observation was reported by Crunchbase News (Aron Solomon, October 2025), which found that U.S. investors are starting to consider legal strategy and regulatory preparedness as factors in legal-tech and reg-tech investing decisions.

What investors are prioritizing now include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Regulatory readiness: Clearly defined routes to market, licensing plans, and playbooks may influence the earliest decision-making of interested investors.
• Reduce diligence friction: Have clear data-transfer agreements, privacy and security plans, and risk mitigation plans. This will make the diligence process smoother and may allow you to get better terms.
• In addition, repeatable, low-churn adoption, strong unit economics, a credible go-to-market (US pilots or channel partners), and regulatory clarity contribute to check size and valuation.
• Planned acquirer alignment: Documented compliance makes a startup more attractive to law firms, reg-tech platforms, and larger SaaS acquirers.

A consulting firm can help with the following:

Map regulatory pathways, and draft a customer data-flow/diligence pack.
Translate pilots into investor metrics: conversion, retention cohorts, CAC/LTV sketches.
Establish U.S. corporate housekeeping: entity setup, cap-table cleanup, and template investor docs.
Establish an investor outreach and go-to-market strategy targeting cross-border and reg-tech investors.

“Regulatory preparedness isn’t just a compliance piece; it is a key part of the product-market story that investors buy into. Southeast Asian founders who prioritize compliance and legal strategy can increase the chances of investor potential and expedite the timelines for fundraising and favorable term outcomes,” says Dmitry Shubov, Founder of Dmitry Shubov Consulting.

For Southeast Asian legal tech founders, regulatory compliance clarity is a strategic asset investors are seeking, and it can be extremely beneficial to partner with a consulting firm that specializes in this. Dmitry Shubov Consulting, a consulting firm that focuses on helping early-stage legal tech startups expand into the U.S. buying market effectively, can be a valuable resource.

ACRONIS NAMES INSIGHTZ TECHNOLOGY FIRST SINGAPORE MSSP PARTNER

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 (Bernama) -- Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, announced that Insightz Technology will become its first certified managed security service provider (MSSP) partner in Singapore.

Insightz Technology, a regional cybersecurity MXDR provider, will utilise the partnership to deliver Acronis Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services to managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients across the region.

In a statement, Acronis Senior Vice President for APJ & Middle East, Pasha Ershow welcomed the partnership, stating that MDR services are essential for maintaining business continuity and resilience given the rapid evolution of cybersecurity threats.

Ershow added that the collaboration will enable Insightz Technology to support Acronis in providing high-end MDR services to more than 200 Acronis partners in Singapore and the broader region.

Meanwhile, Insightz Technology Founder, Lionel Loh said the collaboration enables them to provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection with greater operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, which is particularly crucial for small and medium-sized businesses facing increasingly sophisticated threats such as ransomware.

Acronis selected Insightz Technology due to its strong market presence and proven track record in delivering cybersecurity services across various sectors. Insightz Technology contributes over 10 years of data detection expertise, having supported hundreds of global organisations.

The partnership addresses the complexities and rising costs faced by the rapidly growing Singapore MSP industry, which often struggles with managing multiple vendors.

Operating under the Acronis MSSP Partner Program, Insightz Technology will leverage Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, a natively integrated platform.

The platform combines essential capabilities—endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), backup, disaster recovery, and remote monitoring and management (RMM)—allowing MSPs to eliminate the complexity of using multiple tools, thus increasing operational efficiency and reducing costs.

The Acronis MSSP Program is designed for MSSPs seeking to scale and differentiate their offerings, providing the platform, flexibility, and support needed to thrive in a competitive market. MSSPs maintain full control over branding, pricing, and service delivery while providing MDR services powered by Acronis technology.
