This funding round will allow Ivo to expand its team and further develop its AI-powered contract review solution. By utilizing generative AI, Ivo aims to decrease the time, effort, and cost associated with contract negotiation, ultimately improving its business efficiency at a high level.

Ivo being a legal contract AI startup addresses this need by automating many aspects of the contract review process, as evidenced by Geotab, an Ivo client who achieved a 75% efficiency gain after using Ivo.
With some others, current Ivo customers include Automattic (WordPress and Tumblr), Carparts.com, Quora, and Pipe.
