Harvey, the legal AI startup, has acquired Hexus, a startup specializing in creating product demos and guides. Hexus founder Sakshi Pratap and her team have joined Harvey, with Pratap leading an engineering team to enhance Harvey’s offerings for legal departments. Hexus had previously raised $1.6 million in funding.
Harvey’s acquisition of Hexus comes as the company solidifies its position as a top AI startup, valued at $8 billion after raising $160 million in funding. The company now has over 1,000 clients across 60 countries, including major U.S. law firms. Investors in Harvey include Andreessen Horowitz, T. Rowe Price, and Sequoia Capital.
Harvey’s origin story traces back to a cold email sent to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman by co-founders Winston Weinberg and Gabe Pereyra. Testing GPT-3 on legal questions, they found attorneys would send AI-generated responses with minimal edits. After receiving funding from the OpenAI Startup Fund, Harvey has become a major player in the legal tech market.
