Expanding Global Reach
The latest funding will allow Robin AI to scale its operations globally. While its largest market remains in the United States, where the company plans to open a new office, Robin AI has also announced intentions to expand its footprint into the Asia-Pacific region, beginning with a new office in Singapore. This geographical expansion aligns with the company’s ambition to support more global enterprises and increase its impact within the legal technology ecosystem.

Reinforcing AI and Legal Expertise
Robin AI’s technology integrates feedback from a team of in-house legal experts, ensuring its tools not only perform well but also uphold high standards in accuracy and reliability. By embedding “lawyers-in-the-loop,” Robin AI combines AI efficiencies with nuanced legal understanding, a crucial feature that differentiates it from other AI-driven legal tools. The startup’s rapid growth has led to a fivefold increase in revenue over the past year, as well as significant client acquisition, including multinational firms such as PwC, PepsiCo, and Yum! Brands.
Carina Namih of Plural, an early investor in Robin AI, remarked, “Robin’s team has done an extraordinary job in developing an AI product that resonates with major companies across a wide array of industries, demonstrating the vast potential of AI in legal.”
Conclusion
With another $25 million in its funding round, Robin AI is poised for substantial growth as it scales its AI-driven contract management solutions across new markets. The investment will support the expansion of its technology, enabling it to meet the increasing demand for AI in the legal sector and continue transforming legal workflows for companies worldwide.
