They recently raised $35M from investors including Benchmark and Redpoint to empower exceptional lawyers everywhere through collaborative AI.

With a team of engineers and lawyers from Google, Microsoft, McKinsey, and top law firms, Legora curently serves several thousands users across 200 clients in 15 countries, including some of the world's largest and most prestigious law firms.

The team has scaled from 10 to 60 in 9 months – and they have opened up new offices in London and NYC to complement the HQ in Stockholm.

During this episode we discuss how they initially got rejected by YC and how they made their way back to get accepted, how they cleverly mapped the pain points and potential aha moments for specific roles of their customer segment and why they chose Benchmark as a lead investor.
