Supio, an emerging player in AI-powered legal technology, has successfully secured $60 million in fresh funding to accelerate its mission of transforming how law firms handle complex case data. The investment round was spearheaded by Sapphire Ventures, with notable contributions from Mayfield and Thomson Reuters Ventures, bringing the company’s total funding to $91 million.
The capital injection will fuel strategic expansion, including hiring initiatives and market growth, according to Jerry Zhou, Supio’s co-founder and CEO. The company plans to scale its Seattle headquarters, establish a new office, and nearly double its current workforce of 100 employees.
The legal tech sector is experiencing rapid evolution, with AI adoption skyrocketing from 11% to 30% in just one year. Law firms face mounting pressure to integrate AI solutions or risk losing their competitive edge. Supio aims to address this demand by automating time-consuming document review processes, particularly in personal injury law, where attorneys spend countless hours sifting through medical records, police reports, and expert testimonies.
Zhou and his co-founder, Lam, identified this challenge while working at Avalara, a tax compliance software firm. Recognizing the inefficiencies in legal workflows, they built Supio to provide structured insights from unstructured data. The platform integrates seamlessly with law firms’ existing systems, using AI-assisted case management while incorporating human verification to minimize errors.
Supio’s specialized AI models currently support over 114 case types, with plans to expand further through customer collaboration. The company has seen remarkable traction, with annual recurring revenue quadrupling alongside rapid customer growth. Notable clients now include Hughes & Coleman, Daniel Stark, and Thomas Law Offices, among others.
To sustain this momentum, Supio has bolstered its leadership team with new heads of sales, customer success, and marketing. Zhou believes AI is reshaping the legal industry much like Excel revolutionized finance decades ago.
“The legal profession is at a critical turning point,” Zhou emphasized. “Firms must adapt to AI or risk obsolescence. Our goal is to empower legal teams with tools that enhance efficiency without compromising accuracy.”
With fresh funding and a clear vision, Supio is poised to redefine legal workflows in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.
