“We've been amazed by the explosive usage growth our platform has experienced, since launching Spellbook as the first generative AI contract drafting tool in 2022” shared Scott Stevenson, CEO and co-founder of Spellbook. “This raise marks a major milestone for our team, and is indicative of the market traction we saw in 2023.

Over the last seven months, since announcing seed funding, Spellbook’s customer base has grown nearly 300%, and the team is now working with over 1,700 law firms and legal teams. Company revenue also grew 10x from 2022 to 2023. And on the backend of the Spellbook platform, more than 86,000 contracts are being opened by Spellbook each month, with this number growing quickly month over month.
"We at Inovia are proud to support Scott, Matt and Dan and their exceptional team at Spellbook," shared Steven Woods, Partner at Inovia Capital. "The legal landscape is a prime example of value creation through the careful and appropriate use of Large Language Models.

We are excited to continue working together and helping this team build the future of legal technology."

With this new funding, the Spellbook team plans to quickly scale into 30,000 law firms worldwide, while continuing to lead the market with new functionality: AI that mimics the style of a lawyer, AI that can automate a lawyer’s full end-to-end workflow, starting with a client email, and AI that is 10x more accurate for contract work than anything else on the market.
