What @harvey is building is so important and useful that a single law firm is spending $500m to build their own version of it

Today we're sharing our first research collaboration with @baseten on open-weight legal agents.
Using signal from LAB (our Legal Agent Benchmark of 1,200+ tasks across 24 practice areas), we post-trained an open-weight model to match closed-source frontier performance.
Training open-weight agents for legal creates three major advantages for Harvey:
1) Cost and latency improvements:
The best-performing closed-source frontier models took an average of 22 minutes to complete each LAB task, with $50 per-task average inference cost.
Open-weight inference is substantially faster and cheaper.
2) Reasoning visibility:
In a high-stakes domain like legal, it's incredibly important to get visibility into agents' internal reasoning states - for audit and governance and also as a lever for Harvey to improve agent performance.
Closed-source foundation model providers avoid exposing raw reasoning tokens via API to prevent model distillation. For Harvey, that visibility is a major advantage.
3) Custom training:
Owning the model weights lets us customize training and modify architecture. One example: our blog’s final note on training a custom KV cache compactor.
More to come on our research collaboration with Baseten.

Most VCs wouldn’t touch Anthropic in 2023.
Yasmin Razavi did.
The Spark Capital partner led a $450M round when Anthropic had no public product, no revenue and a massive capital need. Now the AI giant’s rise has landed her on the Forbes Midas List for the first time. forbes.com/sites/iainmart… (Photo: Guerin Blask For Forbes) #ForbesMidas

Today, I’m launching my newco, NavigateAI. We are short hundreds of thousands of skilled workers and we're on a mission to give every field worker an AI copilot, so they can build faster and better when we need it most. navigate.ai/blog/2026-05-2…

Excited to announce our latest funding round at an $11B valuation led by GIC and @sequoia with participation from @a16z, @coatuemgmt, @conviction, @eladgil, @EvanticCapital, and @kleinerperkins.
Thank you to our customers, team, investors, and everyone else who has helped along the way.

We raised a $27M Series A to replace the spreadsheets and human duct tape behind $100 trillion in global assets.
Fund administration is the invisible backbone of private equity and venture capital - and it’s broken.
Why?
Financial data is scattered, stale, and locked inside legacy providers. Books take forever to close. Basic questions about your own fund take days to answer.
So we rebuilt the general ledger, waterfall engine, investor portal, and portfolio management from scratch.
One single source of truth for your firm.
Our AI agents read emails, propose journal entries, and extract portfolio updates in seconds. Our CPAs review every output.
Today, we administer $15 billion in assets - and we’re just getting started.
Every fund CFO keeps getting asked: how will you adopt AI?
Now you have an answer.
Run your firm in real-time with @hanoverpark.

Excited to announce this milestone.
We are deploying long-horizon agents at scale that can do real work in the real economy. Our agents can already operate reliably for hours at a time and I expect that to be days by the end of the year.
We can barely keep up with demand. If you want to come join and work at the frontier for the most intense, fast-paced couple years of your life, send me a note.

We've raised $100m at a $1.15b valuation from @Accel, @GVteam, and existing investors to accelerate deployment of the most capable and accurate accounting agents across CAS, tax, audit, and advisory. Basis is used by 30% of the Top 25 accounting firms and dozens more across the Top 150. Today we're announcing the first accounting agent to complete a business tax workbook end-to-end. Our focus on production-grade, long-horizon agents means that 12 months from now, the work Basis handles will make even this look routine. We're looking for a few very intense people who want to build at the frontier.

Excited to share that, after three amazing years at @insightpartners, I’ll be joining @krisfredrickson at Verified Capital and investing out of a debut $175M venture fund. At Verified, we make concentrated bets in generational technology companies at any stage of their journey. Thrilled to already be backing builders at @Harvey, @DecagonAI, @atlascardhq, and other truly enduring businesses - with more to come. On a personal level, I’m excited to grow this firm alongside Kris and @AviMuller, grounded in values that deeply resonate - staying focused, long-term, and founder-aligned as we help shape the next generation of iconic tech companies. Grateful to the many friends, mentors, and founders I’ve learned from along the way. If you’re building something interesting or just want to grab a coffee, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Welcome @AviMuller!
Avi Muller@AviMuller
After three years of investing at Floodgate working directly with @m2jr and @annimaniac, I’m honored to share that I’ve joined Verified Capital to invest alongside @krisfredrickson and Chelsea Chen. Verified Capital is a new firm that aims to make concentrated bets in generational technology companies at any stage of their journey. We are investing out of our $175M debut fund where we aim to only invest in 8-10 companies. So far we have had the privilege to partner with @Harvey and @DecagonAI as well as several soon to be announced companies. My core focus will be working with founders early in their ideation process - well before they have officially decided what they want to work on, let alone have incorporated their company. Feel free to reach out to me (avi@verified.fund) or DM me.
