Today @WeAreLegora (formerly Leya)(YC W24) launching in the US. When @t_blom and I interviewed the founders of Legora for the @ycombinator Winter 24 batch, it was their second time interviewing for YC, and it was clear their ambition levels were different this time. They weren’t just going to win Sweden. They were going to take on the world. At the batch kickoff, the other founders voted Legora one of the top three most likely to build a massive company and during the batch, they grew from $200k to nearly $900k in ARR—a crazy trajectory, even by YC standards. Fifteen months later, they are the Legal AI leader in Europe with 70 employees and hundreds of law firms as customers. Today, they are also launching in the US with Goodwin as their launch partner. Goodwin is one of the leading US corporate law firms that has advised many, many YC companies over the years. As part of the launch, they are opening their New York office, where CEO @MaxJunestrand will be based. For a long time, the conventional wisdom was that lawyers didn’t buy much software. Law was seen as inherently manual. LLMs have changed that—but few companies are getting the product experience right. Legora is. Welcome to the US, Legora.
