Today, I'm excited to announce that @WeAreLegora has acquired Cadastral.
Cadastral is an AI agent platform built specifically for commercial real estate, trusted by JLL, AvalonBay, Equity Residential, and Empire State Realty Trust. In just over a year, they've signed 50+ firms and grown revenues by 40% per month on average.
Why CRE? Because it may be the most legally intensive industry on earth. Acquisitions. Leases. Refinancings. Disputes. Every deal produces a wall of documents that demands precision. Legal teams here have never had AI built for them, until Cadastral.
Co-founders Abe Somani and Aman Dhesi and their NYC engineering team are joining Legora, and planting the flag for our first major US engineering hub. We're building toward 200+ people in New York and 300+ across North America by end of 2026.
This is our fourth acquisition this year. The thesis is consistent: Legora is an agentic operating system for legal work wherever that work happens. Law firms. In-house teams. And now the industries that create the most complex legal work in the world.
CRE is next. It won't be the last.
Welcome, Abe, Aman, and the Cadastral team.

Just went to visit Legora. Most impressive startup I've been to visit in years. They're going to surpass Harvey in 2027. After that their only potential rivals will be the model companies. And if ever there was a territory you could defend against the model companies, law is it.
$550M Series D led by @Accel. $5.55B valuation.
One year into our U.S. expansion, we’re doubling down: accelerating across America and building AI with the lawyers who use it every day.
Grateful to our customers, partners, and team.

Today, I’m thrilled to unveil @brexHQ 's 2025 Spring Release 🌱, bringing a whole new level of customization and control to every Brex user, from founders to finance teams.
It’s our fourth major release since Brex 3.0, and we continue to relentlessly raise the bar for quality and polish. Here’s a preview – I can’t wait for you to try it!
➡️ New custom fields: Now the data from your business systems syncs natively with Brex, so you can use any field from your ERP or HRIS to provision cards, change your policy, or automate accounting.
➡️ New custom roles: Customize user roles to match how you operate, giving teams exactly the permissions they need to do their jobs efficiently and securely.
➡ New AI policy engine: Create one universal policy with scenario-specific rules for departments, levels, entities, countries, and more using AI. Brex will intelligently apply it to every transaction — from bill payments to cards.
➡️ New admin home: Monitor your key financial metrics, such as balances, changes in cash flow, spend insights, and rewards, in one place — and take any action you need on Brex with one click.
➡️ New invoicing: We’ve also built easy invoicing right into your Brex business account! Send invoices, track payments, and get paid even faster if your customer pays you from their own Brex business account ;) 💸
➡️ AI-assisted vendor management: Automate TIN/W-9 collection using AI and have everything you need to file taxes when it’s time.
And these are just a few of the 50+ updates in the 2025 Spring Release 🔥. Check it out! ⤵️
