August, the first AI platform built specifically for midsize law firms, raised $7M and unveiled configurable AI workflows that adapt to each firm’s tasks. The round was led by NEA and Pear VC, with strategic participation from leading law schools, Afore Capital, and notable angel investors, including Gokul Rajaram, Geoff Charles (Chief Product Officer at Ramp), David Azose (Head of Engineering at OpenAI), and Kevin Zhang (Partner at Bain Capital Ventures), among other prominent backers.
“August gives midsize law firms the freedom to shape AI around their own playbooks, whether they’re advising clients in Miami, Sydney, or Mumbai,” said Rutvik Rau, Co-founder & CEO. “Our approach combines modular technology with personalized onboarding led by both attorneys and engineers, helping firms consistently deliver high-quality legal services that unlock growth and enhance client relationships.”
“We see tremendous potential in the midsize legal market, where firms are eager for innovation that drives meaningful ROI,” said Tiffany Luck, Partner at NEA. “August’s AI platform and custom agents enable midsize firms to deliver exceptional client value and drive significant growth. We’re excited to partner with the August team as they reshape legal technology in this high-impact segment.”
“We’re excited to back August as they pursue a massive opportunity,” said Mar Hershenson, Founding Managing Partner at Pear VC. “Midsize law firms account for more than a third of all practicing lawyers worldwide, yet August is the first AI platform built specifically for them. Early adopters are already completing document-review cycles 80% faster, and during PearX we saw firsthand how deeply customer-driven—and how uniquely strong in AI, legal insight, and execution—the August team is.”
