Reimagining
What’s Possible
Better system, better outcomes
Our journey started inside prosecutor offices, where our team collectively spent decades carrying real caseloads, making charging decisions, working with victims and communities, and navigating the pressures of modern prosecution.
We saw prosecutors trying to make high-stakes decisions in systems that buried information, slowed down casework, and made already demanding jobs even harder. Across jurisdictions, the story was the same: technology meant to support the work was holding it back. So we brought together the kinds of people who could actually fix it – former prosecutors with deep frontline experience, DOJ advisors who have worked on national justice policy, engineers who have built mission-critical platforms in finance, healthcare, transportation, and climate tech, and data specialists who know how to turn complex workflows into clear, reliable systems.
Collectively, our team has designed large-scale software used across the country, led innovation efforts in prosecutor offices nationwide, built AI-assisted tools for sensitive environments, taught at law schools, and helped jurisdictions rethink how they serve the public. That blend of prosecutorial insight and top-tier engineering is the foundation of Paradigm.
Paradigm is built around the realities of prosecution – the cadence of a courtroom calendar, the nuance of charging, the need for trustworthy data, and the pressure to deliver consistent, fair outcomes. Our platform streamlines repetitive tasks, clarifies complex workflows, surfaces information prosecutors actually need, and helps offices focus on the work that matters most. We’re building not just a better CMS – we’re building the only system grounded in real prosecutorial insight and engineered for the future of justice.
Meet Co-Founder & CEO Daniel Davis
Dan began his career on the front lines of the justice system, spending 15 years as a prosecutor in both the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office. His work focused not only on achieving strong public-safety outcomes, but also on advancing practices rooted in fairness, rehabilitation, and community trust. After leaving prosecution, he helped lead national reform efforts at the Justice Innovation Lab, where he supported prosecutor offices across the country in understanding their institutional practices and using data to drive better outcomes.
Those experiences made the limits of existing case management technology impossible to ignore. Dan founded Paradigm in 2024 to give prosecutors the tools he wished he had: modern, intuitive software built for the realities of today’s caseloads and the values of today’s offices. Under his leadership, Paradigm unites former prosecutors, technologists, and data experts to build the first outcome-oriented platform in the field — one designed to improve efficiency, strengthen public safety, promote fairness, and reduce unnecessary incarceration. His earlier training, including clerkships with two federal judges and degrees from Yale and Columbia Law School, helped shape the rigor and clarity he brings to this work.
Outside the office, Dan is a long-suffering Knicks fan, a devoted dad of three, and an enthusiastic participant in classic nerd culture, from Dungeons & Dragons to comic books and all things Star Wars.
