At least $500 million in new funding could lift Harvey AI Corp. to a $15.5 billion valuation, SiliconANGLE reported, putting another premium on legal software built around specialist AI workflows.

The fundraising talks follow a rapid valuation step-up.

The startup was valued at about $11 billion in March after closing a $200 million round backed by Sequoia, Coatue and other venture investors.

Revenue Growth Drives The Valuation Case

The Information provided the fundraising details cited in the SiliconANGLE item and put annualized revenue at more than $350 million, up from about $190 million in January.

The potential participants in the new round were not identified.

That leaves the financing story centered on scale and valuation, rather than on a confirmed investor lineup.

Legal Workflows Remain The Product Anchor

The platform is designed for attorneys and legal departments that need help with research, drafting and repetitive matter work.

Its search tools locate regulations, precedents and related case material, while drafting features turn collected records into contracts and other legal documents.

A newer agent development tool extends that workflow model.

The May update can split a complex legal project into smaller tasks, run them through subagents and request human input when a model cannot complete a step reliably.

Custom Models Could Change The Cost Base

The new capital may support a planned series of foundation models optimized for legal tasks.

The company currently relies on third-party models from providers including Anthropic and OpenAI, but custom systems could give the legal software maker more control over cost, latency and product behavior.

That strategy also carries a competitive edge.

OpenAI and Anthropic already serve professional customers with general-purpose AI tools, so a legal-focused model stack would help defend Harvey's position as foundation model providers move closer to its market.

Funding Talks Remain Unconfirmed

The proposed financing has not closed, and prospective participants have not been identified.

Harvey remains valued at about $11 billion after its $200 million March round.
