Ivo Inc. builds a generative-AI contract review platform embedded in Microsoft Word that surfaces risks and suggests redlines for in-house legal teams.
Ivo Inc. builds a generative-AI native legal technology platform for in-house legal teams. Its product, the Ivo AI contract review platform, integrates directly into Microsoft Word, where it surfaces risks, suggests redlines and accelerates contract negotiations without displacing existing workflows. The company reports that legal teams review contracts 75% faster with the platform while maintaining high accuracy.
The underlying work spans several technical domains: generative AI and large language models, agentic retrieval-augmented generation, large-scale LLM-based legal fact extraction, automatic deviation analysis and contract review automation, delivered through a Microsoft Word add-in. The company positions its approach around amplifying human judgment rather than replacing it, and its founding team spans both legal and engineering backgrounds - a former corporate lawyer and a former Xero engineer.
Ivo raised $55m in a Series B round and reports 6x ARR growth over the past year, alongside an 85% win rate in head-to-head trials against competitors. It serves corporate legal departments and enterprise in-house teams working on contract management and negotiation. The company describes an engineering culture in which teams ship to production daily, with cross-functional collaboration across design, law and engineering and an emphasis on pace and mission.
