I’m thrilled to announce that Prospect is joining Crosby, where I will lead marketing.
Today, we’re announcing our $60M Series B led by @Lux_Capital & @IndexVentures with participation from @sequoia, @eladgil, @BainCapVC, and @01Advisors.
Mar 31
📣 Update: we raised our $60m Series B from @Lux_Capital, @IndexVentures and @01Advisors, with participation from @sequoia, @eladgil and @BainCapVC .
When we came out of stealth 283 days ago, we had negotiated contracts worth $30m for our clients. As of last month, that number is over $1 billion.
We work with the most ambitious companies in the world, including @tryramp, @clay and @RogoAI. Today, we want you to hear from some of them directly.
Contracts are the rails of commerce. @crosbylegal is a hybrid AI law firm that gets them signed 80% faster. We’re announcing our Series B to keep scaling the dream law firm.

Today, we're sharing a story about high standards. It’s the story of our work with @RogoAI and everything we’ve learned from their legal team.
@RogoAI is the global leader in applied AI for finance, trusted by 250 of the world’s most exacting institutions -- Jefferies, Lazard, Nomura, to name just a few.
It goes without saying that working with these clients requires a meticulous commercial legal experience. I'm excited to share what we’ve learned from supporting Carl Lundeholm, Rogo’s Head of Legal, and his team!

Neofirms will be defined by business models that charge for outcomes instead of hours. In order to win, they must measure the efficiency of labor token spend, rather than competing to maximize token spend.
At Crosby, we use the Ramp AI spend dashboard to understand how we're spending tokens on customer outcomes, where efficiency = customer outcomes delivered / [token cost legal cost].
The billable hour is optimized for the opposite, where more hours means more revenue. For us, every token and every hour of legal time comes out of our margin, so the pressure is always to deliver more with less. For the first time, the firm and the client actually want the same thing.
The firms that win won't be playing at the Token Casino. The firms that win will be the ones delivering the best outcomes at the lowest all in cost -- and measuring it closely enough to keep improving.

When I was running my startup, we were trying to figure out how to help a customer structure an equity sale and needed guidance from our lawyers.
We hopped on a call on a summer Friday and I was horrified to see 8 people from the law firm had joined the call. 5 were off camera and barely spoke. At the end of the month, the bill came: $11,000.
I'm glad the billable hour is over and a better model has arrived.

Faster, faster, faster. This is what it means to win in the AI era.
@braintrust is one of the winners. In a matter of months, they became the go-to platform for observability and evals.
Today we finally get to share the story of how @crosbylegal partners with their team 🚀

At a recent Anthropic user conference they noted that for every dollar spent on their software, customer spent $8-$12 on services.
You’re not bullish enough on AI services.

They're calling it the death of the billable hour.
@crosbylegal's outdoor campaign just went live in SF. It's the AI law firm you can trust.

POV: You just paid S&C, one of the three most expensive and high-powered law firms in the world, $3000 per hour to submit AI slop to the court on your behalf.
No one is safe.

🪦 we had a good send off for the billable hour

The neofirms of the future won't just be faster, they will be better.
They're powered by a new business model with better inecntives. In other words: fewer billable hours, more innovation.
This is something to celebrate... and so we did :)

Watching TBPN live in the office was the most fun part of our launch day. @johncoogan & @jordihays have recreated the magic of an OG TechCrunch article dropping

"If you have agents that can do entire swaths of legal work, then the best thing you should do is start a law firm.
Because you're selling work to clients, not merely fractions of work or helping lawyers along.
We're able to do end-to-end work in a way that if you're just selling a legal copilot, I think you're going to face a lot of competition just from the models with no customization."
- Crosby CEO @ryanjdaniels on @tbpn with @jordihays & @johncoogan announcing our $60M Series B led by @Lux_Capital & @IndexVentures

5 minutes into meeting John he told me he wanted to start his own company. I told him Ramp was the best place to learn first. He took that seriously- built 0->1 products, ran hiring processes, operated like a founder from day one. A real builder and extremely high slope.
Now Ramp is a Crosby customer. We're defined by speed and Crosby is the first law firm that actually matches it.
Not surprised at all!

We raised our $60M Series B for one reason: to hire people who are unreasonably good at what they do.
Excited to have Lux & Index leading the investment, with participation Sequoia, Elad Gil, Bain Capital Ventures, and 01 Advisors. But the investors I'm most proud of are the ones who joined full-time: engineering and design leaders from Ramp, Stripe, Hume, and more. As a 15 person engineering team, our talent density is the highest I've ever been around.
We're hiring across eng, product, design, legal, and ops. If you want to build the next great applied AI firm (Neofirm), reach out. DMs open

As I thought about where I wanted to spend the next years of my career, I became incredibly bullish on AI native services firms. What @ryanjdaniels has coined “Neofirms”: new services firms built to combine the abilities of AI models and expert humans.
LLMs are incredible tools, but we have not yet unlocked their potential to transform the economy.
Neofirms like Crosby accomplish this by bringing together elite human practitioners (at Crosby, attorneys), top AI researchers, and frontier models to create experiences that weren’t possible before.

As I got to know Ryan, @jsarihan, and the whole team, I realized this is the most talent-dense early stage team in NY.
It’s Day 559 for Crosby & Day 2 for me. We have a ton to build and are hiring for a bunch of key roles (eng, legal, ops, sales). Ping me if you or someone in your network may be a good fit!
