DecoverAI: Legal tech company DecoverAI raises $2 million in funding round led by Leo Capital

DecoverAI, a legal tech company, has raised $2 million in a funding round led by tech-focused venture capital firm Leo Capital.“A lot of the funding will go into advancing the research and development (R&D) for the product technology, as well as building our go-to-market functions,” chief executive Ravi Tandon told ET in an interaction.

The startup will also invest in expanding its engineering and customer success teams and focus on boosting its marketing and sales activities.

“Our customer base includes small boutique law firms specialising in white-collar crimes and civil and criminal litigation, as well as larger partnerships with firms in the AmLaw 50 and AmLaw 20, along with various legal service providers,” said Tandon.

The company currently serves clients in the US and plans to expand its presence into Europe and the APAC region.

Founded in 2024, the Washington, DC-based company focuses on AI-driven solutions to boost efficiency and aid legal professionals. The company is developing a “Legal Brain,” an AI system designed to support real-world legal tasks such as evidence discovery, legal research, and strategy formulation.

The startup is also looking at India as a potential market.“We are excited to announce the launch of a dedicated product and development team in India. We have great confidence in India’s potential and aim to harness the talent available here, particularly in the field of Generative AI,” said Janar Ramalingam, cofounder and chief technology officer (CTO).

Commenting on the investment, Ravi Srivastava, partner, Leo Capital, said, “The innovative approach of creating a ‘legal brain’ and pioneering Generative Defense sets DecoverAI apart in the legal tech space. We are confident that this technology will drive significant improvements in how legal professionals work.”
