Sequoia Capital is reportedly leading a $300 million funding round for AI startup Harvey, valuing the San Francisco-based company at $3 billion—more than doubling its prior valuation. Harvey, which builds generative AI tools for law firms, has raised over $200 million, with backing from investors such as OpenAI Startup Fund, GV, and Kleiner Perkins. New entrant Coatue Management is also joining this round. With competitors like EvenUp Inc. and Robin AI in the mix, Harvey’s rapid rise underscores investor interest in reshaping legal services with AI.

My Take

Harvey’s valuation jump highlights the competitive race in applying AI to specialized industries. For startups in this space, the key will be scaling adoption beyond early innovators.
