Ivo serves major customers like Uber, Shopify, IBM, Reddit, and Canva, helping businesses review contracts faster and derive insights from legacy deals.
With the new funding, Ivo plans to accelerate product development and triple its headcount from about 60 to roughly 180 by the end of 2026.
Revenue has grown sixfold since the previous funding round in February, signaling strong traction in the contract AI space.
Industry watchers caution that AI in law carries risks of hallucinations and fictitious citations, underscoring the need for accuracy in legal applications.
Ivo mitigates these risks through a multi-task, specialized AI agent approach that decomposes reviews into auditable steps.
