Steno exists to solve a fundamental problem in litigation: the court reporting and deposition process should help attorneys win cases, not create obstacles. Founded in 2018 by a trial attorney, a software engineer, and an entrepreneur, Steno recognized that plaintiff attorneys were losing cases not because of legal strategy, but because cash flow constraints limited their ability to invest in discovery. By offering DelayPay - an innovative deferred payment solution that lets firms pay for deposition services only after case resolution - Steno frees attorneys to focus on winning rather than worrying about upfront costs.
Beyond financing, Steno delivers a technology platform purpose-built for litigation. Their AI-powered Transcript Genius tool uncovers critical testimony in seconds, comparing depositions and finding contradictions that might otherwise go unnoticed. Steno Connect provides a seamless remote deposition experience with integrated exhibit handling, eliminating the patchwork of screens and downloads that plague remote litigation. With a Net Promoter Score of 89 - comparable to Apple and Amazon - Steno has redefined what attorneys should expect from court reporting: 24/7 support, 99% on-time delivery, and a hospitality mindset that treats every deposition like it's the most important case in the world.
