The solution was launched by a tech entrepreneur on a mission to democratize legal expertise and make it accessible to everyone. It has become even more relevant with the adoption of electronic signatures in Tunisia in June 2023. 

e-Tafakna, a Tunisian startup founded in 2022 by Norchen Mezni, offers a legaltech solution that streamlines the process of accessing, customizing, and finalizing legal documents online. With its mobile app, available on both iOS and Android (the Android app has been downloaded over 500 times from Play Store), users can electronically sign contracts to finalize agreements between different parties. The app offers a variety of contracts in French, English, and Arabic, including employment, real estate, certificates, and quotes/invoices.

Users can tailor documents to their specific needs, add relevant details, and send them out for signatures. The startup has also integrated artificial intelligence into its platform, offering recommendations for different contract clauses. This feature can be activated simply by scanning the document with a smartphone.

In addition to providing legal documents, e-Tafakna offers legal and accounting expertise and assists users in setting up limited liability companies and sole proprietorships. They offer a range of pricing plans, starting from $3.99 to $34.99, to cater to different user needs.

e-Tafakna won the StartUp’Act label in July 2022, a legal status that provides benefits for startups in Tunisia. In April 2024, e-Tafakna was selected to participate in the fourth edition of the Lab Innova for Tunisia 2024, along with 21 other Tunisian startups.
