About Harvey
Harvey makes AI software for law firms, in-house legal teams and other professional services firms. Lawyers use it to research legal questions, draft documents, review contracts and run due diligence. Its agents can carry out multi-step legal work from start to finish, and its Vault product stores thousands of documents and answers questions across all of them at once.
Harvey is based in San Francisco. CEO Winston Weinberg and president Gabe Pereyra founded it in 2022. More than 3,500 law firms and legal teams in over 85 countries use Harvey. Its customers include A&O Shearman, Reed Smith, Deutsche Telekom, Bayer, Bridgewater and CVS Health. In August 2026 Harvey had just over 1,600 employees in 16 locations.

Rounds announced by Harvey
What the company said publicly about its funding. Announced amounts can differ from Form D figures: an announcement can combine several closings, and some money is raised without a Form D.

Why Investors Backed Harvey
Investors back Harvey because lawyers use it every day and keep buying more of it. Sequoia, which led its Series A in 2023, called legal work “the ultimate text-in, text-out business” and “a bull’s-eye for language models.” 80% of AmLaw 100 firms now use Harvey’s software, along with five of the Fortune 10. Its annual revenue passed $400 million by September 2026, according to The Globe and Mail.
The problem it targets
Lawyers spend long hours on research, due diligence and drafting. Sequoia singled out these “time-consuming tasks” in its 2023 note on the investment. It argued that Harvey would let lawyers focus on client relationships and strategic work instead. In-house legal teams feel a similar strain. Harvey’s view is that many general counsels are under pressure to do more with less headcount and budget.
What the product does
Harvey puts several AI tools on one platform. Lawyers use it to research legal and tax questions, edit drafts in Microsoft Word and review contracts. The Vault product stores thousands of documents and answers questions across them in one query. Agents run multi-step work such as M&A due diligence and contract drafting. More than 25,000 custom agents ran on Harvey by March 2026. A 2025 alliance with LexisNexis also brings U.S. case law and Shepard’s Citations into Harvey. In August 2026, Harvey released Tenet, its first post-trained model.
Progress so far
Harvey’s annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew fourfold in 2024, while customers rose from 40 to 235. It passed $100 million in ARR in August 2025, according to TechCrunch. In July 2026, Harvey finished its first quarter of adding more than $100 million in ARR. Customers also stay and spend more. In the third quarter of 2025, Harvey had 98% gross revenue retention and 167% net dollar retention. Named customers include CVS Health, GE Aerospace, HSBC, NBCUniversal and Latham & Watkins.
Who backs it
Sequoia has backed Harvey since its $21 million Series A in 2023. It also led the Series D and co-led the March 2026 round with GIC. Partner Pat Grady, a Harvey director, called that rare for Sequoia and said its conviction “has only grown stronger” since the Series A. Kleiner Perkins, whose partner Ilya Fushman is a Harvey director, co-led the Series B and Series E. GV, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Diffusion and Lightspeed have also led or co-led rounds. The OpenAI Startup Fund invested early. Later money came from EQT, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, J.P. Morgan and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan.
How the market is moving
Investors keep putting large sums into legal AI. On October 21, 2026, Legora raised a $550 million Series E at an $8.8 billion valuation, led by Atreides Management. TechCrunch calls Harvey Legora’s biggest competitor. Legora says its ARR now tops $200 million. A big legal publisher has bought in, too. REV, the venture arm of LexisNexis owner RELX, joined Harvey’s Series D and Series E. Harvey is also buying smaller companies. Guardrails AI, an agent security startup it bought in September 2026, was its fourth acquisition of the year.
