Harvey AI

Harvey envisions a future where the legal profession is seamlessly augmented by advanced artificial intelligence, transforming how legal knowledge is accessed and applied. Our mission is to empower legal professionals with precise, reliable AI tools that streamline complex workflows and elevate the impact of their expertise.

By harnessing cutting-edge generative AI and custom large language models, we create specialized solutions that tackle intricate legal challenges—from drafting to due diligence and contract analysis—enabling firms to focus on strategic, high-value decisions with unprecedented efficiency.

We are dedicated to building a future where AI not only supports but enhances the legal field’s critical role in society, fostering greater access to justice and operational excellence through innovation and thoughtful technology integration.

We've been watching Harvey since their early days, and honestly, this company keeps surprising us. What started as two founders tinkering with GPT-3 on Reddit landlord-tenant questions has evolved into one of the most compelling AI plays in the legal space.

The numbers speak for themselves: 86 out of 100 legal answers approved by attorneys without edits. That's not just impressive—it's borderline shocking for AI's first real crack at complex legal work.

What Caught Our Attention

Harvey isn't trying to be everything to everyone, and we love that focus. While other AI companies are chasing consumer markets, Winston Weinberg and Gabriel Pereyra went straight for the throat of elite law firms—arguably one of the toughest customer bases to crack.

Their approach is smart: custom large language models built specifically for legal work, not general-purpose AI trying to moonlight as a lawyer. When you're handling due diligence for billion-dollar deals, you need precision, not creativity.

The OpenAI Connection Changes Everything

Here's where things get interesting. Harvey became one of the first companies backed by the OpenAI Startup Fund, which tells us two things: OpenAI sees massive potential in vertical AI applications, and Harvey has access to cutting-edge models before anyone else.

That partnership led to custom case law models—essentially giving Harvey superpowers in legal research and analysis. We can't overstate how big of an advantage this is in a field where accuracy isn't just important, it's legally required.

The Funding Story is Wild

From $5 million to a $715 million valuation in less than two years? That's not just growth—that's validation from some of the smartest investors in tech. Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins don't throw money at legal tech unless they see something revolutionary.

The 10x revenue growth they reported tells us law firms aren't just testing Harvey—they're actually paying for it and finding real value. In our experience, lawyers are incredibly skeptical of new technology, so this adoption rate is remarkable.

Who This Actually Works For

Harvey isn't targeting solo practitioners or small firms—they're going after the big players with complex needs and deep pockets. Think BigLaw firms handling M&A deals, in-house teams at Fortune 500 companies, and professional service providers who can't afford mistakes.

If you're a legal professional drowning in document review or contract analysis, Harvey might just be your lifeline. But if you're looking for basic legal advice or consumer-facing tools, you'll need to look elsewhere.
