We're thrilled to share that DraftWise has raised $5M led by EarlyBird with participation from strategic investors, including global law firm Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.

Three years ago, we set out to build an Iron Man suit for lawyers, powered by a law firm’s collective data and expertise. From the beginning, we recognized that AI and LLMs have a long way to go to solve everything we want them to do – but as we experienced firsthand at Palantir, we can overcome those limits using strong data engineering fundamentals.

We started by meticulously building clean datasets, designing data ontologies to facilitate attorney workflows, and capturing the outcomes of attorney decision-making. Today, DraftWise is the only AI platform securely applying private LLM to law firm data.

Our next-generation AI platform stands on the shoulders of our prior work: the difficult and seemingly unrewarding prerequisites, the investment in privacy and security, and the thoughtful feedback shared by our earliest users – attorneys at firms like ​​Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP, Gunderson Dettmer LLP, and Mishcon de Reya LLP.

And now, with an influx of opportunistic capital, we’re doubling down on our generative AI platform and providing even more firms with the secure AI tools they need to deliver better client outcomes.

We’ve spent three years setting the stage for secure, trustworthy AI systems, and our ambitions have only grown from the support and feedback shown by existing customers. We’ve got a lot of exciting work ahead of us, and we promise to keep you updated with what we’re doing and why it matters.
