Leya banked €18.5M ($20M) in a Series A funding round led by Redpoint Ventures. The investment includes participation from Benchmark, Y Combinator, Hummingbird Ventures, and SV Angel.
Based in Stockholm, Leya develops an AI-powered legal assistant designed to automate document review, due diligence, and legal research. The platform integrates with a law firm's internal data and public legal sources to provide citations and draft documents, aiming to reduce the manual workload for legal professionals.
The company previously participated in the Y Combinator accelerator programme. This fresh capital follows a rapid expansion phase as the startup targets the legal sectors in the UK and US, where demand for productivity-focused AI tools is accelerating within high-stakes corporate environments.
The round underscores a significant trend in the European ecosystem where specialist AI applications are successfully securing top-tier Silicon Valley backing to scale internationally.
