Who is the Founder of your startup?

I founded Energi Shift Ltd.

What is your startup?

Energi Shift is focused on supporting utilities and infrastructure organisations with strategy, programme delivery, smart metering, innovation, and operational transformation.

At what stage is your business?

We are in a growth stage, working across multiple programmes and expanding our client base within the utilities sector.

How did you find shizl?

I was introduced to shizl  through industry networks and peers who had previously used the platform.

What did you use prior to shizl?

Before shizl, I relied on ad‑hoc legal templates and traditional law firm engagement for documentation needs.

Why did you turn to shizl?

We needed a more streamlined, efficient and founder‑friendly way to manage legal documents such as client contracts and NDAs without the delays and costs associated with external legal counsel.

Why do you think a product like shizl is important?

Platforms like shizl give early‑stage and scaling businesses access to high‑quality, reliable legal documentation, reducing admin, improving compliance, and allowing founders to focus on delivery and growth.

What do you use shizl for?

We use shizl for drafting and managing key legal documents required across our operations and partnerships, such as NDAs and Client agreements.

How has that helped your business?

It has saved time, reduced friction, and provided clarity and structure around documentation that previously required significant manual effort.

What would you advise fellow Founders regarding legal documentation?

Prioritise getting the essentials in place early. Good legal documentation protects your business, sets clear expectations, and reduces future complications. A platform like shizl makes this far more accessible.

Anything else to say about shizl?

It’s intuitive, reliable, and designed with founders in mind — a genuinely valuable tool for growing businesses.
