Harvey AI's Rapid Growth: From $3B to $5B in Four Months
Harvey AI, a startup revolutionizing the legal sector with automation tools, has achieved remarkable growth, raising $300 million in Series E funding at a $5 billion valuation. This funding round was co-led by Kleiner Perkins and Coatue, with additional participation from existing investors like Conviction, Elad Gil, OpenAI Startup Fund, and Sequoia. This latest valuation marks a sharp increase from just four months ago, when the company secured a $300 million Series D round at a $3 billion valuation.
Expansion and New Opportunities Beyond Legal
Founded just three years ago, Harvey AI has seen its workforce expand rapidly to meet growing demand. The company currently employs 340 people and plans to double that number, using the new funds to enhance its AI products for not just legal services, but also other professional services like tax accounting. Harvey’s AI tools help lawyers with tasks such as document review and contract drafting, and the company currently serves 337 legal clients.

A Rapidly Expanding Business
Harvey’s growth is reflected in its financial performance, with the company reporting an annualized run-rate revenue of $75 million in April, up from $50 million earlier in the year. This positions Harvey to compete with established players in the legal tech space, such as Ironclad and Clio, which have been around for over a decade. However, with its impressive growth and expansion into other professional services, Harvey AI is positioned to continue leading innovation in automation for the legal and beyond.
