Extremely specific life advice: you can convert Fahrenheit to Celsius with the stops on the 6 train. 33 St =0° 42 St=5° 51 St=10° 59 St=15° Works to 96th St!

A great listen. Always learning and growing from @MaxJunestrand!

@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.

@Ronanchamberss @etnshow @WeAreLegora @MaxJunestrand @lukeknight Trade our equity for yours? ;)

@etnshow @WeAreLegora @davidneckstein If we ask really really nicely, maybe @MaxJunestrand will give us 0.000001% - @lukeknight thoughts?

Yesterday Swedish startup Legora (@WeAreLegora) raised $550M at a $5.55B valuation. On the day CFO @davidneckstein told us: "We have every dollar from our series C in the bank. We actually have a majority of our series B in the bank". "We have three-quarters of a billion dollars that we can invest in our infrastructure, in our team, in our expansion capabilities" "We're very proud of this, but we're more proud of the outcome that we're delivering for our customers on a daily basis."

@jbahrdestefano @WeAreLegora @Accel We are just getting started!

Sheesh @WeAreLegora just raised a $550M Series D led by @Accel at a $5.55B val Legora is a legal AI platform that helps lawyers review documents, conduct research, + draft contracts. Rather than asking firms to adopt a new standalone tool, they've embedded directly into the existing legal tech stack Anecdotally, heard they went from 3m to $70m in revenue in '25 😯 and according to 20VC podcast with @MaxJunestrand they added $7m of revenue in a day in Dec '25 Company was started in '23 + in the YC W24 batch. They've raised $815.5M in the 2 years since - insane trajectory! reuters.com/business/finan…

BREAKING: Swedish start-up @WeAreLegora has raised a $550M Series D funding round at a $5.55B valuation to fuel US growth. CEO & Co-Founder @MaxJunestrand says: “Over the past year, the pace of adoption in the U.S. has exceeded our expectations, as leading firms and in-house teams move decisively from experimentation to embedding AI across their organisations". The round was led by @Accel with participation from existing investors @benchmark, @BessemerVP, @generalcatalyst, @ICONIQCapital, @Redpoint, and @ycombinator.

Legora is not just one of the fastest growing companies in legal tech. It's actually one of the fastest growing companies inside of SaaS. EVER. "When we unveil what's going on inside of @WeAreLegora you guys are going to be blown away." says their CFO @davidneckstein. David claims these numbers are going to break all kinds of records. "I had insider access into seeing gross and net retention, got to meet the executive management team and 'boy, they are building something special.'"

We’re partnering with @Pinsent_Masons: A firmwide strategic partnership bringing @WeAreLegora to 1,000 lawyers, with ambitions to expand even further. We're excited to support the team as they scale AI across the firm. legora.com/newsroom/pinse…

👀 Benchmark 2020 fund at ~10x (Legora, Mercor, Sierra) Benchmark 2024 fund at ~3x (Manus, Cursor) Honestly wild that some folks had counted them out

The fastest growing YC company ever is European. They're about to cross $40M ARR and their CEO was quoted saying they "wake up with the taste of blood". With a recently announced a $150M Series-C at a $1.8B valuation it's smashing records every other week. This is the meteoric rise of Legora (@WeAreLegora) which was part of YC (@ycombinator) 2024 batch: > July 2024: Series-A $100M Valuation > May 2025: Series-B $675M Valuation > October 2025: Series-C $1.8B Valuation We sat down with David Eckstein (@davidneckstein), who recently left his CFO position at Vanta (@TrustVanta) to join the Swedish rocket ship on their next growth phase.

Excited to be joining @LegoraHQ as CFO at a moment when the company is truly defying gravity. Thank you to @MaxJunestrand for the trust and leadership. Looking forward to what we’ll build together.

Growing up in Jordan, my brothers and I were huge NBA fans, especially Shaq. We rarely had games on TV, so we learned the NBA from basketball cards and worn-out VHS tapes. After seeing my videos with Shaq, my brother sent me this beautiful note. I hope it inspires you too:

Watching @DisneyFrozen / Frozen II with my kids for the 759th time, I am surprised the show hasn't made its way to Broadway yet.

We added $7 million in additional ARR in the last 24 hours. That’s more than our total combined ARR in 2023 and 2024. Huge credit to our customers for their trust, and to the @WeAreLegora team for executing with focus, passion and urgency. On to 2026!

@MaxJunestrand @WeAreLegora That would be a monster quarter for most companies, let alone 24 hours! Congrats @MaxJunestrand and @WeAreLegora.

Congratulations to my better half @gradypb, the new Senior Steward of @sequoia along with the wonderful @Alfred_Lin. Investing firms must be led by great investors. Sequoia’s motto at one time was “We are only as good as our next investment.” If that’s true, the firm is in good hands. Pat has the scary-good ability to identify both the phase shifts and the platform companies within them (ServiceNow, Zoom, HubSpot, Okta, Snowflake in the cloud era, Harvey, OpenEvidence and OpenAI in the AI era). He sets the gold standard for growth investing. Venture is an industry populated with incomplete information, high stakes, long feedback loops and big dollars. It takes extraordinary character to approach venture with clarity, aggression, integrity, intellectual honesty, and the mindset of a servant leader. There is no leader in venture that inspires as much admiration and loyalty, through a combination of being asymmetrically right and always doing what is right. Congrats, Pat, Alfred and Sequoia.

Absolutely stacked lineup this week from the portfolios of @jaltma , @dvlamoen, @SusaVentures, @dropalltables, @jmj, @immad, @davidneckstein 🚀🚀🚀
