Darrow raises $35M for an AI that parses public documents for class action lawsuit potential

Darrow

Darrow, a legal tech startup founded in 2020, built an AI-based data engine that crawls thousands of sources of publicly available information (newsfeeds, social media, consumer complaints, regulatory filings, SEC filings, environmental reports, court dockets) to identify class-action litigation potential in areas such as data privacy violations, environmental contamination, and discrimination, and to predict likely legal outcomes and case value. A team of legal data specialists, including former lawyers, reviews the AI-surfaced insights before lawyers use the platform for case review and discovery. Around 50 law firms, covering hundreds of lawyers, were using the product, and active cases stemming from Darrow's data insights totaled around $10 billion in claims at the time of the funding round.
