Austin is electric. Had a great dinner with GCs last night and the talk of the town is building out AI-native legal departments from first principle thinking. New wave of companies are growing so rapidly and legal needs to keep up
Also first time in a Waymo - nuts!!
We're enabling the first generation of AI-native legal departments.
Following our launch yesterday, the past 24 hours have been nothing short of energizing. The messages, conversations, and genuine curiosity from GCs and legal leaders have been incredibly motivating.
The team is fully locked in, and we’ve already begun onboarding our next cohort of forward-thinking legal teams.
If you’re curious about what we’re building at @sandstonehq, I’d love to connect and share more.

While still at McKinsey, Nick Fleisher and Jarryd Strydom built a task tracker for lawyers and tested it with friends. It caught on. They pitched Sequoia on their last day at the firm. https://t.co/l0XxqgBDro
Big news: Today we’re launching Sandstone with $10M in funding led by @Sequoia. 🏔️
We’re on a mission to build the AI-native operating system for in-house legal teams.
Here’s why this matters and how we got here:
@nifleisher, @cc_jarryd and the ambitious team at @sandstonehq are transforming operations for mid-market in-house legal teams with an AI-powered control center. We @sequoia are proud to lead their seed round.
. @sandstonehq , comes out of Stealth today w/a 🔥 $10M in funding led by @sequoia’s @BogieBalkansky.
@nifleisher and @cc_jarryd at Sandstone are building AI for in-house legal. A $30B global market. With the number of in-house counsel in the 🇺🇸 doubling in the last 15 yrs.
Legal teams are tired of being the bottleneck. They’re buried in Slack pings, procurement tickets, and fragmented docs.
Today, we’re launching Sandstone to change that.
We’ve raised a $10M Seed round led by @Sequoia to usher in the era of the AI-native legal department. 🪨🚀
Sandstone isn’t just a new tool; it’s a paradigm shift.
By being AI-native, we’re weaving legal directly into the fabric of business decisions. No more bottlenecks. Just faster, more confident execution for the entire company. ⚡️
