Sandstone raises $30M Series A for SMB legal AI
Legal AI is pulling serious capital. Sandstone just closed a $30M Series A led by Lightspeed to build AI-powered workflow automation for in-house legal teams at small and mid-sized businesses.
The raise puts Sandstone in the same conversation as Harvey and Legora, both of which have already burned through eight-figure funding rounds in the same vertical. Legal tools have become one of the fastest-growing and most competitive AI categories going right now.
The SMB in-house angle is the differentiator here. Most legal AI has chased BigLaw and enterprise procurement cycles. Sandstone is betting the underserved market is the smaller legal team that can’t afford a full outside counsel budget but still needs contract workflows, compliance tracking, and document review handled faster than a spreadsheet allows.
