Robin AI, the groundbreaking legal tech startup combining AI and human expertise, has raised $10.5 million in a Series A funding round. Led by Plural and supported by Episode 1 and a group of prominent angel investors, including Tom Blomfield and senior executives from Bridgepoint, Apollo, and Barings, this funding marks a major milestone in the company’s mission to transform the legal industry.
The investment will be used to accelerate Robin AI’s growth, expand its technological capabilities, and continue scaling its unique approach to legal services. CEO and founder Richard Robinson highlighted the company’s impressive trajectory:
“We have grown revenue 20x since our last fundraise and are already cash flow positive, reviewing over 12,000 contracts annually. This funding will allow us to grow our tech team and integrate a new cohort of customers from our acquisition of LawGeex clients, which include UBS, PWC, eBay, and Pepsi.”
AI Meets Human Expertise
Robin AI’s innovative “SaaS + services” model combines cutting-edge AI, powered by models from Anthropic, with the critical oversight of legal professionals. This “lawyer-in-the-loop” approach ensures accuracy, reliability, and trust in handling complex legal tasks.
The company’s proprietary machine-learning model, trained on 4.5 million legal documents, enables users to draft and negotiate contracts 60-80% faster while reducing legal fees by up to 75%. Its tools cater to businesses of all sizes, from startups leveraging the free self-serve platform to multinational corporations managing high-volume contract reviews.
A Partnership with Anthropic
As Anthropic’s launch partner in the legal sector, Robin AI ensures safety and reliability by integrating the latest AI advancements while mitigating risks like hallucinations. Robinson noted:
“We’re using the best models in the world, but human professionals remain central to our approach. Trust and accuracy are paramount for our clients, and our model of enhancing human work with AI is proving to be the winning formula in this space.”
