We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with our Ƶ community! We’ve just secured $17.8 million (£13.3 million) in Series A funding, led by GV (Google Ventures) and joined by Khosla Ventures (early investors in OpenAI).

This investment brings our total funding to over $20 million (£15 million), building on our previous Government grants and seed funding led by Connect Ventures.

What This Means for You

With this new funding, we’re set to take our agentic legal editor to the next level. Here’s how this will benefit you:

  1. More Customized & Comprehensive AI Drafting: Genie can now draft fully personalized, professionally formatted 50+ page agreements across major global jurisdictions in minutes, not weeks, taking into account your business context.
  2. Enhanced AI Document Risk Review: Our risk review feature detects issues, explains them, and suggests changes, giving you an extra layer of security. Rated 92% accurate by over 170 lawyers.
  3. Proven Success: Over 100,000 companies, including 11 FTSE100 companies and 20 Global200 law firms, trust Genie across 120+ jurisdictions.
  4. Time and Cost Savings: Get 80% of your drafting or reviewing done in just 5 minutes, saving an average of 5 hours per week or up to $85,020 / £72,800 per year per attorney.

Our Vision for the Future

My co-founder Nitish and I created Genie with a clear goal: to reduce legal friction and enhance global economic efficiency. We understand that contracts are the backbone of business transactions, and we’re here to make that process smoother than ever.

The goal for legal teams remains the same - mitigate legal risk under time and cost pressure. Genie helps these teams turn around documents faster than ever - a result of 8 years developing generative AI (starting from my MSc Machine Learning thesis in Generative AI 8 years ago) and a fully docx-compatible legal document editor. This means, our Agentic AI can complete entire workflows when creating, reviewing and negotiating documents, as well as just generating text.
