Chamelio, a legal intelligence platform built for in-house legal departments, announced it has raised $10 million in seed funding as it looks to expand product development and accelerate go-to-market efforts. The round was led by Work-Bench and Emerge, with participation from additional investors.
Based in New York, Chamelio is positioning its software as an AI system of record for modern legal operations, aiming to replace fragmented point solutions and legacy repositories with a single platform that connects legal data, workflows, and decision-making. The company said its system orchestrates work across the contract lifecycle, spanning drafting, negotiation, signing, and post-execution operations, while keeping governance and control in the hands of legal teams.
Chamelio said it serves roughly 100 customers, ranging from high-growth startups to large enterprises. The company cited a client roster that includes Wiz, Socure, Lightricks, Integrity, Global-e, Cellebrite, and Fiverr. With new capital, Chamelio plans to scale to meet rising demand from in-house legal teams in the U.S. and internationally.
The company is betting that legal departments adopting AI are increasingly constrained by disconnected tool stacks, including document systems that lack context and standalone AI applications that do not integrate into day-to-day workflows. Chamelio’s approach centers on transforming unstructured legal content, such as contracts, policies, and playbooks, into a structured intelligence layer that can inform future negotiations and operational decisions across teams.
Work-Bench and Emerge pointed to deployment momentum among enterprise legal teams as a key factor behind the investment. Chamelio also highlighted its founding team’s blend of legal operations and AI experience. CEO and co-founder Alex Zilberman previously held leadership roles at Pagaya and was COO and a co-founder of AnyVision. COO and co-founder Gil Banyas has spent 15 years in legal roles, including serving as general counsel at AnyVision. CTO and co-founder Gal Lellouche previously founded an AI company that Sage acquired and later held senior AI leadership roles there.

“Without a legal intelligence platform, critical context is lost every time a new contract is signed or a lawyer leaves the firm. We help legal departments eliminate the outdated search-and-retrieve model and implement a solution that uses past negotiations and policies to actively inform workflows and decisions.”
