GC AI: Series A Funding Raised To Help Legal Teams Find AI To Automate Tasks

By Amit Chowdhry • Yesterday at 10:43 AM

GC AI, a legal AI platform designed for in-house counsel, has announced nearly three times the revenue growth this year. And GC AI has grown an average of 21% month-over-month (MoM) in revenue in 2025, now serving more than 350 enterprise customers and thousands of users across 53 countries. The company also recently closed a Series A led by Sound Ventures, alongside Fellows Fund, Guillermo Rauch, Gokul Rajaram, TipTop VC, and more than 30 general counsel and legal leaders.

Since launching in April 2024, GC AI quickly gained traction with top legal teams at companies such as Webflow, Hitachi, Vercel, Liquid Death, Kenneth Cole, Eventbrite, SurveyMonkey, Snyk, Tipalti, and other high-growth and global brands. With 95% customer retention, a Net Promoter Score of 75, and platform usage accelerating week over week, GC AI has become an essential tool for legal teams seeking to move faster, stay organized, and eliminate the drag of repetitive work.

What is driving GC AI’s rapid growth is its increasing importance to legal teams. Built from the ground up for in-house counsel, GC AI replaces scattered tools with a centralized and AI-based system that helps attorneys and other members of the legal team automate high-volume tasks, allowing them to focus on what matters. Customers rely on GC AI every day, with many reporting up to a 50% reduction in time spent on legal workflows. Product usage has surged, and the activity the platform saw in its first month now happens in just a few hours.

What differentiates GC AI is its precision and deep understanding of in-house legal work. And unlike generic AI tools, which often paraphrase or hallucinate, GC AI fully parses entire documents, delivering increased accuracy with its Exact Quote feature. This platform is guided by a set of foundational instructions, continuously refined to emulate the reasoning and communication style of an in-house lawyer. Through encrypted private data handling and compliance with the strictest legal standards, GC AI provides teams with the confidence to trust AI with their most sensitive work.

Launched by Cecilia Ziniti (a 20-year legal veteran and former general counsel at Amazon Alexa, Cruise, and Replit) and Bardia Pourvakil (an early engineer at Roam Research and Replit), GC AI has emerged as the capital-efficient, customer-obsessed alternative to overfunded legal tech players.

KEY QUOTES:

“GC AI has significantly enhanced how Snyk’s global legal team works, cutting out hours of low-value tasks to help us better prioritize our most strategic work. GC AI brings the same innovation and added productivity to legal work that Snyk’s platform brings to software developers and security professionals worldwide. In both cases, practitioners can now work smarter and faster to maximize business results in new and exciting ways.”

David Morris, General Counsel at Snyk

“As a high-growth CPG brand, legal has to keep pace. GC AI is now an essential part of my legal toolkit – it helps us save hours every week, quickly finding answers to pressing questions or plowing through mundane work. Now my team can focus on the complex issues without getting buried in the day-to-day.” 

Tiffany S. Lee, General Counsel at Liquid Death

“I built GC AI because I lived the problem. Legal teams want to use AI, but the tools they have were never designed for them or have AI tacked on as an afterthought. GC AI changes that. It gives them control, saves time, and makes the role more rewarding. The love we have seen from our customers tells me we are on the right path, and we are fully focused on becoming the go-to tool for legal teams at every company.”

Cecilia Ziniti, CEO and co-founder

“At Sound Ventures, we believe AI will transform every sector, and legal is one of the most overlooked. GC AI stood out for its deep customer empathy, technical execution, and sheer velocity. We have strong conviction they are building the system legal teams in every major company will rely on.”

Effie Epstein, Managing Partner at Sound Ventures
