Legal AI startup Harvey is in talks to raise $500 million at a $15.5 billion valuation, according to a report first published by The Information and cited by SiliconAngle. Lightspeed Venture Partners is in discussions to lead the round.

The deal, if completed, would mark a 40% jump from Harvey’s last valuation. The company closed a $200 million growth round at an $11 billion valuation in March 2026, co-led by GIC and Sequoia Capital.

A Fast-Moving Valuation

Harvey’s rise in valuation has been sharp. The company was worth $3 billion during its Series D in February 2025. A Series E in June 2025 pushed that to $5 billion. By December 2025, Andreessen Horowitz led a $160 million round that set the valuation at $8 billion. The March 2026 round brought it to $11 billion. Now $15.5 billion is on the table.

Total funding already exceeds $1.2 billion. Adding $500 million would put Harvey well past $1.7 billion raised since its 2022 founding.

Revenue and Customer Growth

Harvey’s revenue has grown fast. The company now reports more than $350 million in annualized revenue, with approximately $300 million of that classified as annual recurring revenue. That figure was $190 million in January 2026, an increase of more than 80% in roughly seven months.

At a $15.5 billion valuation, Harvey would be priced at roughly 44 times its current revenue run rate. The figure reflects investor confidence that growth continues at pace.

The company has more than 1,000 customers across 60 countries. It counts more than 1,900 in-house legal teams as users, including 200-plus public companies and 25 unicorns. Fifty percent of the Am Law 100 use the platform. Named customers include NBCUniversal, HSBC, DLA Piper International, and Riot Games.

Founders and Origin

Harvey was founded by Winston Weinberg, a former securities and antitrust litigator at O’Melveny and Myers, and Gabriel Pereyra, previously a research scientist at DeepMind and Meta AI. The company is named after Harvey Specter, the lead character of the legal drama Suits.

An early proof point came when the two founders used GPT-3 to answer landlord-tenant questions pulled from Reddit’s r/legaladvice. Weinberg has said attorneys reviewed the answers and found that 86 out of 100 required no editing before sending to a client.

Platform and Competitive Position

Harvey builds AI tools for legal and professional services workflows, covering contract analysis, due diligence, compliance, and litigation support. Its model can be trained on a law firm’s or legal team’s proprietary document library.

Weinberg has said the company’s primary competition comes not from rival legal startups but from the model labs themselves. “Our largest competitor is by far, indirectly, OpenAI,” he said. The company employs 1,561 people as of June 30, 2026.

Harvey recently announced a multiyear partnership with the US Open, making it the tournament’s first official legal assistant starting with the 2026 event.
