Sandstone raises $30 million Series A for AI tools aimed at in-house legal teams
Sandstone has raised a $30 million Series A round to build AI products for corporate legal departments, according to TechCrunch. The financing comes about six months after the startup's seed round, which TechCrunch says was led by Sequoia.
Why it matters: The raise is another signal that investors see meaningful demand for vertical AI software tailored to regulated, document-heavy enterprise functions such as legal work. Fresh capital can help Sandstone expand product development and compete in the growing market for AI tools aimed at professional services and back-office workflows.
