BREAKING: Legora has raised a HUGE $550m Series D at a $5.5bn valuation!

The European company has been on a meteoric rise:

> Raised an $80m Series B at a $675m valuation in May last year
> Became a unicorn in October at a $1.8bn valuation

And now it's valued at $5.5bn.

When it became a unicorn it was the fastest YC company to become a unicorn ever.

Now it's now the fastest to hit a $5bn valuation.

The company is rapidly expanding across the US and this money will be used to further invest in the region.

It is now used by tens of thousands of lawyers each day across 800 customers.

The round is being led by @Accel which is stacking up a large number of the strongest European AI companies including Synthesia, Lovable and n8n.

AMAZING news. European tech is flying right now.

Congrats @WeAreLegora and @MaxJunestrand

AI Avatars aren't great actors...

They don’t actually understand what they’re saying or how they should say it.

Until now – with EXPRESS-1, we’ve trained our avatars to perform like an actor: tone of voice, facial expressions and body language👇

[Philippe Botteri @pbotteri]

Synthetic media or real actor performing???

Can't tell the difference. Amazing AI tech from the team @synthesiaIO
