The Brief:
Harvey has made its first acquisition, buying demo and training startup Hexus as its valuation hits $8bn.
The deal sharpens Harvey’s push into in-house legal teams as competition in legal AI intensifies.
Harvey has made its first acquisition, snapping up enterprise AI tools startup Hexus as it doubles down on corporate legal departments.
The deal lands as Harvey’s valuation climbs to $8bn, following a $160m funding round in 2025 that helped take its total capital raised last year to $760m.
Hexus is a two-year-old startup focused on AI tools for product demos, videos and instructional guides. Its founder and CEO Sakshi Pratap and her San Francisco-based team have joined Harvey immediately, with India-based engineers set to integrate once Harvey opens a Bangalore office.
Pratap will lead an engineering group dedicated to Harvey’s in-house legal offering. Hexus had previously raised $1.6m from investors including Pear VC and Liquid 2 Ventures.
What we’re bringing to Harvey is deep experience building enterprise AI tools in adjacent problem spaces. This expertise helps Harvey move faster in a market that’s becoming increasingly competitive.
The acquisition is squarely about adoption. As legal AI tools become more complex, Harvey is leaning into better demos, onboarding and training to boost AI adoption within corporate legal teams.
Harvey now serves 1,000+ clients across 60 countries, including many top US law firms, and is facing mounting pressure from both established players and fast-moving startups.
