May was a big month for @WeAreLegora . Legal professionals are the ultimate proof of the product. That's the only adoption curve that matters. When lawyers are logging 40 hours a month and churning at under 1%, that's not a sales story. That's a product story.

I have one simple rule when I invest in a company. Post investment, I work for the founder and the company. Whatever they need, I work for them. When @MaxJunestrand called and said, come open the London office with @KanishkaNarayan. Done deal baby! 👇

Three acquisitions in two months. Today, @WeAreLegora is announcing our third acquisition: Graceview, a regulatory horizon scanning platform covering 100 jurisdictions in real time. That's the kind of coverage that was simply impossible to build manually. Full story below:

I spend a lot of time thinking about what investor composition says about a company's trajectory. @Atlassian and NVentures – @nvidia 's VC arm – joins @WeAreLegora Series D extension alongside a group of new investors, bringing the total round to $600M.

Love working on solving real problems for customers who are just as passionate about our mission. Proud to watch @christinacaci and @TrustVanta team cross $300M ARR. Now, it’s a privilege to work alongside @MaxJunestrand and the whole @WeAreLegora team. LFGora! 🚀🚀
Seeing a lot of love for Vanta and Legora on the timeline today. It’s no coincidence that @davidneckstein has been the CFO at both. He’s a trusted partner to the CEO (and an elite company picker). Major shout out to one of the best in the game and a close friend!

It's astounding how fast Vanta has been growing. And for the best reason too: they made a really good product.
It took us two years to grow from $10 mm to $100 mm in Annual Recurring Revenue and 15 months to reach $200 mm. Nine months later, we crossed $300 mm. Vanta’s growth rate increased each of the past four quarters – compounding really is the eighth wonder of the world! “But wait,” you might be thinking. “How does a software company founded before 2022 *increase* its growth rate?” Narrative violation!

$300M ARR. Just 9 months after hitting $200M, and growing faster every quarter.🚀 We founded Vanta to help businesses earn and prove trust. Businesses face more pressure than ever because trust leads to growth in the age of AI. 70% of companies now have Shadow AI operating in their environments, and AI tools are 52% more likely to carry a high risk designation than traditional SaaS. The compliance programs designed for annual audits weren't built for this, and neither was the old way of doing GRC. So we rebuilt it. The Vanta Agent runs as a 24/7 GRC engineer, eliminating the manual work that used to slow security teams down and orchestrating compliance, vendor risk, audits, and more, continuously. The Trust Graph maps your entire security posture in real time, so nothing slips through the cracks between reviews. 16,000 companies now run their security programs on Vanta, including 60% of the Forbes AI 50 and enterprises like Cursor, Samsara, Atlassian, and Snowflake—because the era of proving trust once a year and hoping nothing changes in between is over. To every customer who helped shape what Vanta is today: thank you. 💜 Read more from our CEO Christina: vanta.com/resources/vanta-cr…

Just went to visit Legora. Most impressive startup I've been to visit in years. They're going to surpass Harvey in 2027. After that their only potential rivals will be the model companies. And if ever there was a territory you could defend against the model companies, law is it.

Precise language. Clean structure. Every word. Exactly where it should be. We're talking about legal drafting, obviously. Though it does remind us of someone. legora.com/law-just-got-more…

We just acquired Qura. Legal research is going to be a foundational layer of the legal AI stack. @WeAreLegora wants to build the world's best version of it. And Qura is the team to do that with. Welcome, Qura team!

@WeAreLegora is expanding across North America – and we're hiring! I'm in San Francisco with @davidneckstein to announce that we're opening offices here and in Toronto, our first foothold in Canada, and scaling New York into a central engineering hub. This builds on what we've already built in New York, Denver, Houston, and Chicago. 300 people across the region by end of 2026. If you want to build something that actually changes how lawyers work, we'd love to talk. Full story: legora.com/newsroom/legora-e… Open roles: legora.com/careers

Law just got more attractive. @WeAreLegora went from 40 to 400 people in twelve months. At this stage, brand is a commercial lever. We're going after a global legal market. So Jude Law isn't a vanity hire. It's a signal that Legora is playing in a different league.

Nobody gets here by accident. It’s a choice: daily, under pressure. From Ludvig Åberg to Aaron Judge, the best make it look easy. It isn’t. We build AI for lawyers who demand the same. Proud to welcome Aaron Judge & the New York Yankees to Legora. lnkd.in/dKFxdJFd

A truly sensational product and company. Legora has gone $1M to $100M ARR in less than 18 months. Setting a new speed record for the fastest ever to do it with a direct sales motion. Thrilled to have backed this remarkable group of people at seed, 7 months before they launched.
I want to take a moment to recognize a gravity-defying achievement by the entire @WeAreLegora team. We have grown from $1M to $100M in annual recurring revenue in just under 18 months. In this time, we've grown into a truly global company with over 400 colleagues - and built the platform where legal work happens. Powering more than 1,000 teams worldwide. It is all about the people, and I couldn’t be prouder of the Legora team and thankful to our customers and partners. This achievement is as much yours as it is ours.

In under 18 months, @WeAreLegora have scaled from $1M to $100M in ARR, a milestone that almost no enterprise software companies reach so quickly. Legal AI is now entering the 1 to 10 phase, where agents, automation, and entirely new workflows will redefine what’s possible.

Legal education is about to change. Today, we’re launching the Legal AI Scholars Program in collaboration with leading law schools. AI is becoming a core part of how legal work gets done. Graduates need to understand how to use it effectively, responsibly, and in real workflows. Together with faculty, we’re developing a curriculum focused on applying AI to legal tasks, understanding its strengths and limitations, and developing the judgment required to use it well. The program is already rolling out across select schools, with more to follow in key jurisdictions over the coming months. I can't wait to help shape a generation of lawyers better equipped to navigate how the profession is changing together with all of our great partners. Full story: legora.com/newsroom/legora-a…
