From roommates to revolutionaries in legal tech, Winston Weinberg and Gabriel Pereyra's journey with Harvey exemplifies the transformative power of AI in traditional industries.

Achieved $715M valuation in late 2023
Partnered with elite law firms including Allen & Overy and Macfarlanes
Created AI solutions that streamline legal research, contract review, and precedent finding
What sets them apart is their approach to AI implementation in law:
Focus on practical, everyday legal tasks
Emphasis on accuracy and reliability
Strong relationships with established law firms
Commitment to maintaining legal professional standards
Their success demonstrates how deep understanding of industry needs, combined with innovative AI technology, can transform traditional professional services.
