Backed by Google’s Gradient Ventures, Next47, and 8VC—with $21 million raised in just nine months—we’re trusted by Fortune 500 companies and leading Am Law 100 firms, including Quinn Emanuel, Google, Koch Industries, Xerox, and Foley & Lardner.

With teams across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, we’re rapidly building a global organization fueled by exceptional talent and bold ideas.
