Harvey’s soaring valuation and ARR growth signal a breakout moment for AI‑powered legal tech, reshaping spending priorities across law firms and attracting heavyweight venture capital.
Harvey, the San Francisco‑based legal‑AI startup, is reportedly courting a $200 million infusion that would lift its post‑money valuation to $11 billion. The round, expected to be anchored by Sequoia Capital and Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC, follows a rapid succession of financings: a $300 million Series D at $3 billion in early 2025, a $300 million Series E at $5 billion mid‑year, and a $160 million raise at $8 billion in December. In less than twelve months the company’s valuation has more than tripled, underscoring the feverish investor appetite for AI‑driven enterprise tools.
Beyond the capital influx, Harvey’s financial metrics signal genuine market traction. The firm reported $190 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) at the close of 2025, up from $100 million just six months earlier—a near‑doubling that outpaces most SaaS benchmarks. Law firms are increasingly turning to large‑language‑model assistants to automate document review, contract analysis, and compliance checks, reducing billable hours and error rates. Harvey’s early partnerships with top‑tier firms have created a network effect, making its platform a de‑facto standard for AI‑enhanced legal workflows.
The $11 billion valuation raises questions about sustainability, yet the broader AI‑enterprise wave provides a supportive backdrop. Competitors such as Luminance and Casetext are scaling, but Harvey’s deep integration with existing practice management systems and its focus on high‑margin corporate clients give it a defensible moat. As law firms allocate larger IT budgets to AI, the company could leverage its ARR growth to justify premium pricing and expand into adjacent services like litigation analytics. Investors will watch whether the rapid valuation climb translates into profitable scale, a test that will shape the next phase of legal‑tech consolidation.

There appears to be no stopping legal‑AI startup Harvey’s skyrocketing growth, with VCs continuously throwing money at it. The company is reportedly in talks to raise another $200 million at an $11 billion valuation led by Sequoia and Singapore’s GIC, sources told Forbes.
If the deal closes, Harvey’s valuation would jump by $3 billion in a matter of months. In December the company confirmed it had raised $160 million at an $8 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz last fall. (Harvey declined to comment on its potential new raise.)
Back in June, it announced a $300 million Series E at a $5 billion valuation led by Kleiner Perkins and Coatue. A few months before that, in February 2025, it gobbled up a Sequoia‑led $300 million Series D at a $3 billion valuation.
The startup, which offers an LLM AI for law firms, hit an annual recurring revenue (ARR) rate of $190 million by the end of 2025, founder‑CEO Winston Weinberg shared on LinkedIn. That was up from a $100 million ARR in August (depending on what the company means by ARR), so that’s nearly double the contracted revenue in less than six months.
How has it become one of the breakout winners of AI enterprise applications? Weinberg recently told TechCrunch’s editor‑in‑chief Connie Loizos an incredible story of how the company originally claimed the hearts of Silicon Valley’s powerhouse VCs.
