- Y Combinator reshares Paul Graham: AI legal tech company Legora's revenue has grown over 9x from a year ago. Graham calls it astounding for a company of this size — unusual for a startup 3 years in, not just in its first 6 months.
- Company figures add detail: July was the strongest quarter-opening month in company history, August even larger; net new ARR grew 36% MoM; ARR from in-house legal teams is up 15x+ YoY with average ARR per customer up 2.5x+, now nearly half of new customers; usage exceeds 16 hours per monthly active user; September alone is expected to add more ARR than all of Q1 '26.
