ZAS Ventures has backed the legal tech startup to support its artificial intelligence platform for law firms.

"Ranking Copilot is a prime example of what we are looking for — a world-class product from a Ukrainian team that uses AI to solve a pressing global problem. The partnership with Chambers gives them an advantage in distribution and trust that almost no early-stage legal tech startup has access to"

"Invention is how we solve humanity’s biggest challenges, yet the systems that protect those ideas are decades out of date. AI will redefine how global organisations innovate over the next five years, turning IP from a cost centre into a growth driver.

The seed round was led by Lakestar to accelerate development and international deployment.

"Everything around us is manufactured, from the mug on your desk to the optical cables carrying our Netflix binges. Everyone talks about the glamorous side of manufacturing: generative design, material discovery, digital twins, but few spend time on the factory floor. The hard part isn’t dreaming things up inside a computer; it’s making them work at scale. Manufacturing still runs on human know-how, the kind that lets someone on the line kick a machine just right, or run a finger over a scratch, and say, ‘that’s thirty-four microns wide.’ We’re using AI to capture and scale that tacit knowledge, so engineers can design things that actually work in the real world. It’s time to manufacture the impossible."
— Doug Brion, Co-founder and CEO
