Maarten Truyens

Maarten Truyens founded ClauseBase in Leuven after more than a decade practicing as an IT lawyer. He built the product as a solo technical founder, handling both the CEO and CTO roles. ClauseBase focused on contract drafting and clause management, enabling lawyers to assemble documents from structured building blocks rather than starting from scratch each time.

The company was bootstrapped from inception, remaining 100% founder-owned until acquisition. LawVu, a New Zealand-based legal operations platform, acquired ClauseBase as part of its expansion into contract authoring tooling.
