Harvey CEO Winston Weinberg, Luminance CEO Eleanore Lightbody, and Eudia CEO Omar Haroun.Harvey; Luminance; EudiaLegaltech startups are thriving, raising over $1 billion in funding this year.These companies leverage AI to streamline legal work, attracting significant investor interest.Despite a slowing funding market, AI-driven legaltech firms continue to secure investments.Law is having its ChatGPT moment.In recent years, a torrent of startups has emerged that use artificial intelligence to strip the drudgery from legal work.In a slowing funding market, these companies are cashing in on the AI hype. Funding to companies in the legal and legaltech industries has crossed $1 billion so far this year, according to Crunchbase data and Business Insider's estimate based on recent financings.This list highlights a select few legaltech startups that raised capital in 2025, sorted from most to least total funding.HarveyHarvey cofounders Winston Weinberg and Gabe Pereyra.HarveyFounded: 2022Total funding: More than $500 millionThe hype: In a crowded category, Harvey stands in a league of its own. Lawyers at eight of the 10 highest-grossing US law firms use the platform, sending its annual recurring revenue to more than $70 million in April.Harvey's rise hasn't gone unnoticed. "Lots of people flock to an opportunity once it's clear," said Sarah Guo, a managing partner at Conviction and Harvey investor, "but Harvey is 10X the next biggest competitor — it has breakthrough momentum."The dish: Harvey's success is fueling a growing list of competitors, and some of them look pretty similar under the hood. The company is betting that it can edge out rivals by molding the product to the client. If customization is the moat, the question becomes: how does it scale?LuminanceLuminance CEO Eleanore Lightbody.LuminanceFounded: 2015Total funding: $165 millionThe hype: Luminance is seeing soaring demand for its legal contract review and drafting platform. The British-born legaltech said its core corporate product offering has grown annual recurring revenue 6x in the past two years. Driven by the company's revenue growth, investors put in another $75 million in Series C funding in February.The dish: While most legaltech startups build on general-purpose models from OpenAI, Google, or Meta, Luminance uses a patchwork of models, including a number of proprietary models designed in-house, to handle different legal tasks as required. Training a state-of-the-art model can provide a competitive edge, but it also demands a tank of capital.LegoraLegora cofounders Sigge Labor and Max Junestrand.LegoraFounded: 2023Total funding: $120 millionThe hype: Legora is taking on Harvey with its solution to help bogged-down lawyers speed up legal research and drafting, and gaining ground. In two years, it's added 250 clients in 20 markets, including big-league law firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird, and Mannheimer Swartling.To fuel its growth, General Catalyst and Iconiq led an $80 million round for Legora in May, valuing the company at $675 million.The dish: In a crowded market, Legora will need to find ways to stand apart from competitors. The company is betting that the strength of its product and its ability to tightly tailor the tool to firms will continue to attract major names. Trouble is, Harvey's making the same pitch.EudiaEudia CEO Omar Haroun.EudiaFounded: 2023Total funding: $105 millionThe hype: Eudia's custom agents promise to shrink months of legal grunt work down to days, or even minutes. Rather than chasing law firms, Eudia is laser-focused on in-house legal teams, betting that enterprises will adopt technology more readily than firms afraid of software nibbling at their bottom line. The company exited stealth in January with $105 million in funding.The dish: Since Eudia's launch, investors have showered founder Omar Haroun with cash, eager to get in on what they hope will be his next breakout. He sold his last startup, Text IQ, to legal and compliance heavyweight Relativity in 2021. But pedigree isn't performance, and it remains to be seen whether Haroun and Eudia can deliver.SupioSupio cofounder and CEO Jerry Zhou.SupioFounded: 2021Total funding: $91 millionThe hype: Rajeev Dham, a partner at Sapphire Ventures and Supio investor, says the company is building the Cursor for plaintiff law firms. The platform parses medical records, police reports, and expert opinions, then lets lawyers build medical chronologies, draft briefs, and search their files using a chatbot.Fresh off a $60 million round, Supio has quadrupled its revenue run rate and size of its customer base over the past year.The dish: EvenUp may be three years ahead of Supio in the market, but Dham argues that's exactly why Supio has the upper hand. It engineered its entire platform around artificial intelligence from day one. Still, Supio has to contend with a competitor with over a thousand personal injury law firm customers and more than twice the funding.EveEve cofounders David Zeng, Jay Madheswaran, and Matt Noe.EveFounded: 2020Total funding: $61 millionThe hype: Eve helps plaintiff firms automate away tedious tasks and resolve cases faster. The company added more than 200 law firm customers, from personal injury to employment law, over the last year. Early investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Menlo Ventures seem pleased with its progress; Eve raised $47 million in a January Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz.The dish: Plaintiff lawyers, especially solo and small shops, are slow to adopt new tech unless it's proven, dead simple, and affordable. Eve may find its early adopters are tech-forward anomalies, not the norm.SpellbookSpellbook cofounder and CEO Scott Stevenson.SpellbookFounded: 2018Total funding: More than $30 millionThe hype: Zach Posner, managing director of The Legal Tech Fund and a Spellbook investor, says growth is ripping over at Spellbook, a contract drafting and review tool. Spellbook's annual contract value, which measures the average annual revenue it generates from a single customer contract, has risen for three straight years. It suggests lawyers see real value and are scaling up.The dish: This list highlights startups that have raised money so far this year. Spellbook's last round closed over a year ago, but we're including it anyway. The word on the street is that Spellbook is in talks to raise a Series B round. A person close to the company said the terms of the offering are still being negotiated.PaxtonPaxton cofounder and CEO Tanguy Chau.PaxtonFounded: 2023Total funding: $28 millionThe hype: While other legaltech startups court Big Law, Paxton is betting on the middle. Its platform targets small and midsize firms — an overlooked segment that helped drive a 14x jump in monthly recurring revenue last year, according to a company blog.The dish: Even though Paxton is targeting a different segment of the market, it still faces the challenge of convincing law firms to switch from their established systems. Law firms are notoriously risk-averse, and many will stick with what they know.Theo AiTheo Ai cofounder and CEO Patrick Ip.Theo AiFounded: 2024Total funding: $6.4 millionThe hype: Theo Ai's platform helps attorneys predict case outcomes using historical data and real-time analytics. Initially focused on aiding litigation funders in selecting cases, it has quickly expanded to serve Big Law and in-house legal teams.The dish: Rob Go, a partner at NextView Ventures and Theo Ai investor, said in a statement that a May seed round "came together very quickly," despite the falling number of venture capital deals.MarveriMarveri cofounders Connor Acle and Emily Mu.MarveriFounded: 2023Total funding: $3.5 millionThe hype: Due diligence is the bane of a young attorney's profession. To help, Marveri's platform sucks up all of a corporation's documents and lets users analyze and query their contents.Marveri, which counts Elon Musk's lawyer Alex Spiro as an advisor, emerged from stealth in May with $3.5 million in funding. Masha Bucher's Day One Ventures, Bessemer, and a syndicate of early users participated in the deal.The dish: Marveri is going toe to toe with a Goliath of legaltech. Backed by over $160 million, Hebbia creates software for white-collar professionals to help with contract review and due diligence. Marveri will need to crush on product and customer service to woo law firms away from their existing systems.Read the original article on Business Insider
