Why Harvey’s hardest problem isn’t AI, it’s multi-entity collaboration

From TechCrunch

Why Harvey’s hardest problem isn’t AI, it’s multi-entity collaboration

Why Harvey’s hardest problem isn’t AI, it’s multi-entity collaboration

In this episode, TechCrunch’s editor-in-chief Connie Loizos and StrictlyVC’s Alex Gove sit down with Winston Weinberg, co-founder and CEO of Harvey, the legal AI startup that’s quietly become one of the most talked-about companies in Silicon Valley.

Winston shares the origin story of how a first-year associate at legal giant O’Melveny used GPT-3 for Dungeons & Dragons before realizing it could transform legal work, leading to a cold email to Sam Altman on July 4, 2022 that changed everything.

The three discuss Harvey’s rapid growth to more than $100 million in ARR, why 33% of the startup’s revenue now comes from corporates rather than just law firms, and the technical challenges of building a truly multiplayer platform that navigates complex ethical walls and permissioning across 63 countries.

Winston also addresses the “ChatGPT wrapper” criticism — and he explains why he believes professional services will be less disrupted than people think.
