Repeat tech founders secures £12m ($15m) Series A funding round, led by Exor Ventures with angels from KKR, Morgan Stanley and Linklaters.Jigsaw leverages data and AI to transform how businesses visualise, design, and manage corporate structures. It facilitates the creation of diagrams at 40x the speed of legacy tools such as PowerPoint and enables its users to build a visual-first system of record.Founded by Stephen Scanlan and Travis Leon, Jigsaw is the pair’s second successful venture together. They previously co-founded, scaled and sold XRef, a proofreading software company, in 2016 (now Litera, a $1bn+ company). As former city professionals with over two decades of combined experience in the legal and financial services industries, Jigsaw’s co-founders are on a mission to empower white-collar professionals to do business visually on a shared platform.Jigsaw was released just 3 years ago and is already becoming the standard corporate structure visualisation platform across major financial institutions, accountancy practices (including the Big Four), and global law firms (including Ashurst, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Goodwin Procter).Stephen Scanlan, co-founder at Jigsaw, said,“We’ve dedicated ourselves to building products that white-collar professionals deeply value for corporate structuring. Up next, we’re going to double down on generative AI and collaboration features. We also plan to expand our multi-product line focused on visualising complex transactions into an end-to-end platform to manage corporate structures and governance.”In addition to investing in its platform, Jigsaw will continue to grow its global footprint
Corporate visualisation platform Jigsaw has raised $15m Series A, which brings the total funding raised by the legal tech startup since February 2023 to $25m, which includes until now unannounced pre-seed and seed funding.Jigsaw was founded by former magic circle lawyer turned banker Travis Leon and investment funds lawyer Stephen Scanlan. Prior to Jigsaw they founded XRef, which was acquired by K1 in 2016 and merged with Microsystems (becoming part of Litera).AdvertisementThe $15m Series A is led by Exor Ventures. It follows pre-seed and seed funding of $10m raised last year from a collection of partners at some of the world’s largest law firms including Linklaters, Allen & Overy, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in the UK, and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, White & Case and Milbank in the US.Speaking to Legal IT Insider earlier this year, Leon said: “We have had explosive growth and have needed to grow to support that demand.” The investment will go largely towards product development, with Jigsaw in the last few months launching Timelines. Whereas lawyers have traditionally used Jigsaw to help them visualise transactions and corporate entities, they can now also use it as a visual project management tool, so that the likes of litigators can use it to keep track of court dates. Leon said: “A lot of people create lists but we can suck those up and automate the creation of a visual that shows you how it will look. We have had a huge interest in that
Lander & Rogers has just completed its Legal Tech Pitch Night in Australia and saw what ten relatively new companies from around the world had on offer – and it was a lot, which is very encouraging. The winner was Ukraine-based Lawyered!, which is an IP protection platform. It was part of a group of ten companies that reached the final stages of the law firm’s LawTech Hub pitch competition. The winner gained access to thousands of dollars-worth of support, which includes credits for AWS, Microsoft Azure, legal help, and access to a range of service providers from insurance specialists to cap table management
