What an incredible day. Yesterday, we brought together 150+ AI CEOs in NYC with the FirstMark community. A huge thank you to the founders who joined us - the energy, ambition, and depth of discussion in the room reflected just how quickly this AI wave is reshaping company building across every layer of the stack. Grateful to everyone who made the day so thoughtful and high-signal. NYC AI is cooking!

Three acquisitions in two months. Today, @WeAreLegora is announcing our third acquisition: Graceview, a regulatory horizon scanning platform covering 100+ jurisdictions in real time. That's the kind of coverage that was simply impossible to build manually. Full story below:

Just went to visit Legora. Most impressive startup I've been to visit in years. They're going to surpass Harvey in 2027. After that their only potential rivals will be the model companies. And if ever there was a territory you could defend against the model companies, law is it.

Speaking at FirstMark's Guilds Summit on June 16 in NYC: Cofounder & CEO, Datadag CEO, Tubi Chief People Officer, Airbnb CFO, Legora Chief Data & AI Officer, Snowflake Head of People, Clay CFO, Shopify Chief Product Officer, Okta Head of Americas, Enterprise, Anthropic Cofounder & CTO, Braze VP Sales, Vercel CMO, Bilt Rewards CFO, Ramp COO, Harvey CFO, Circle CRO, Synthesia Cofounder & CPO, Wealthsimple CFO, Runway Chief People Officer, Headway Cofounder & CTO, Factory Head of Product, Glean CRO, Brex CFO, Mercury Chief People Officer, HungryRoot VP, Global People & Places, Airwallex + more to be announced!

Love seeing these two awesome @FirstMark co’s come together t bring the promise of stablecoins to the institutional use cases that make up the meat of the market. Just the beginning cc: @sidgandhi_xyz @calummoore @rooqster @cnaut

Huge congratulations to @FirstMarkCap portfolio companies @WeAreLegora and @synthesiaIO on being named to the 2026 Forbes AI 50! Well deserved recognition for two exceptional teams building impactful, category-defining businesses and executing at an extraordinary level Grateful to be on the journey with you both and excited for what’s ahead!

Agentic Infrastructure is the future of the cloud ① For coding agents If you use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, you need infra that 'clicks' for your agents, not just devs. ② To deploy agents Pages → Agents. Long-running compute, sandboxes, and our token delivery network are the building blocks of this new kind of software. ③ Itself an agent Vercel is beloved because it's self-configuring (serverless). Add to that: self-healing, self-optimizing, self-securing. The agent holds the pager. ⟁ It's a triple-entendre that works. I highly recommend the read. Agentic Infrastructure will make existing companies more efficient and support the next generation of AI-native startups.

Vercel signups are growing at 52% MoM (up from 23%, up from 17%)

Congratulations to @ClickHouseDB , @WeAreLegora , and @vercel on being named to the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30! These teams are building category-defining businesses across data, dev infra, and AI-native workflows, and executing at an exceptional level - well deserved!! Grateful to be on the journey with all of you. Excited for what’s ahead.

I want to take a moment to recognize a gravity-defying achievement by the entire @WeAreLegora team. We have grown from $1M to $100M in annual recurring revenue in just under 18 months. In this time, we've grown into a truly global company with over 400 colleagues - and built the platform where legal work happens. Powering more than 1,000 teams worldwide. It is all about the people, and I couldn’t be prouder of the Legora team and thankful to our customers and partners. This achievement is as much yours as it is ours.

In under 18 months, @WeAreLegora have scaled from $1M to $100M in ARR, a milestone that almost no enterprise software companies reach so quickly. Legal AI is now entering the 1 to 10 phase, where agents, automation, and entirely new workflows will redefine what’s possible.

Thrilled that we at @FirstMarkCap are doubling down and leading @poshvip_ ’s $37M Series B. Huge congrats to @AvantePrice and the incredible Posh team. Posh is redefining how people create and discover meaningful IRL experiences while building for a future where connectors, community-builders, and culture-shapers have the tools to thrive. The future belongs to the connectors! @rick @vverawang

@rauchg @vercel Huge congrats @mitchellh @rauchg @vercel!! Few people have done more to shape modern dev infra, so this is a pretty special moment. Excited for what’s ahead!

It’s an honor to welcome Mitchell Hashimoto to the @vercel board. Mitchell built both an incredible company and foundational infrastructure, always putting open source and developers first. As the world is rebuilt with AI, I can’t think of a better person than an exceptional thinker like Mitchell to help us define the Agentic Infrastructure of the future. I can tell you the hype is real btw. Just having worked closely with him only for a few weeks, I see the magic. And, it also doesn’t hurt to have a *checks notes* direct line to ask for Ghostty features like session restoration and vertical tabs 😆

@davidneckstein @MaxJunestrand @siggelabor @WeAreLegora @FirstMarkCap Fired up to be on this journey with you and the team. LFG!

@abimbhet @MaxJunestrand @siggelabor @WeAreLegora You are an incredible partner! We are so lucky to have you in this round. I can't emphasize how much of a game-changer you and @FirstMarkCap have been, even before the money hit the bank. LFG!

Thrilled to partner with @MaxJunestrand, @siggelabor, @davidneckstein, Pat, Jacob and the entire @WeAreLegora team as they build the legal operating system for the AI era! Legal work demands judgment, precision, and trust. What’s exciting about this moment is that AI can actually support that work in a meaningful way, helping legal teams move faster, navigate complexity, and deliver high-quality work without compromising rigor. That’s a big part of why we’re so excited about Legora. They’re building the leading platform around how legal work actually gets done.

@MaxJunestrand @WeAreLegora @Accel Thrilled to be a part of it! LFG!

Big day at @WeAreLegora! We have raised $550 million at a $5.55 billion valuation in a Series D funding round, led by @Accel, to accelerate expansion across the United States. To all our customers and partners, this celebration is as much yours as it is ours.
