Clio raises $900M, stays private.

Clio, a legaltech company based in Burnaby, BC, raised a record-breaking $900 million USD Series F round at a $3 billion USD pre-money valuation in 2024. This round surpassed 1Password's previous record and accounted for nearly half of Canada's Q3 2024 tech funding. Clio's decision to stay private reflects a trend of Canadian tech companies avoiding the public market due to investor pressure and market conditions.
