Jurimesh seamlessly integrates with data rooms, applies advanced AI-powered document recognition, and leverages Large Language Models to spot red flags, provide recommendations, and generate detailed due diligence reports. Collaboration with forward-thinking M&A law firms highlighted the inefficiencies of manual due diligence, making it clear that the process is slow, costly, and in need of a smarter solution.

Jorrit Willaert, CEO of Jurimesh said, “The legal industry has tolerated inefficiency for too long. We’re here to change that, This funding allows us to push our technology further and redefine how legal teams approach legal due diligence and contract analysis.”

Davy Gorselé, managing partner at Quorum, one of Jurimesh’s clients said, "Jurimesh helps us structure information faster and automatically identify contractual risks, It improves both efficiency and the quality of our legal advice."

Use of Funds: Building the Future of Fully Automated Due Diligence

With this investment, Jurimesh planned to:

  • Expand their AI team to enhance our proprietary algorithms and develop more advanced legal reasoning capabilities.
  • Broaden their market presence across Europe, supported by strategic partnerships.
  • Develop new features with the ultimate vision of fully automating legal due diligence, eliminating manual repetitive work entirely

To facilitate its mission to fully automate legal due diligence, the company brought several investors on board, including Syndicate One, a founder-led Belgian fund investing in ambitious early-stage tech startups, as well as several business angels, including Matthias Geeroms (Lighthouse), Jeroen De Wit (Teamleader), Roeland Delrue (Aikido), Michiel Bearelle (Officient, Vendorvue), Kris Moeremans (Intersentia), Marc Coppens (Yuki), Koen Vandaele (Deloitte), Anthony De Clerck (Dovesco), Michiel Denis (Aikido, former Henchman), and many more.

Hans Kayaert of Syndicate One said, “We believe Jurimesh is charting a new path in legal tech at a time when the market is increasingly eager for AI-driven solutions, While legal AI has so far largely focused on broad horizontal applications, Jorrit and Jasper impressed us with their sharp focus on perfecting the specific task of legal due diligence — demonstrating the next chapter in the evolution of legal AI.”
