Legal AI startup Harvey hits $100 million in annual recurring revenue
Harvey runs an AI-powered legal platform for lawyers at law firms and large corporations. Its technology can help with legal research, drafting and diligence projects, and the company is also building industry-specific use cases.
Winston Weinberg, co-founder and CEO of Harvey, said the startup's ARR milestone has largely been driven by usage. Harvey has surpassed 500 customers, including CNBC's parent company, Comcast, and its weekly average users have quadrupled over the past year, the startup said.
"Most of our accounts grow pretty massively," Weinberg told CNBC. "You'll sell to a Comcast or to a law firm, and they'll buy a couple hundred seats, and then they expand that usage pretty quickly."
Weinberg is a former lawyer, and he co-founded Harvey with his friend and roommate Gabe Pereyra, a former research scientist at Google DeepMind and Meta. The pair launched the company in 2022 after experimenting with OpenAI's large language model GPT-3, which came out before its viral AI chatbot, ChatGPT.
The company's name, Harvey, is partially inspired by one of the main characters in "Suits," a legal drama TV series, Weinberg said.
Harvey has raised more than $800 million from investors, according to PitchBook, including Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital and the OpenAI Startup Fund. The company also earned a spot on the 2025 CNBC Disruptor 50 list.
"With gen AI, and how fast everything's moving, you just have to learn how to scale really, really fast," Weinberg said. "I'd say, like every six months I go through a new scaling experience."
In the months ahead, Weinberg said Harvey is focused on its global expansion and continuing to build out its team. The startup recently hired Siva Gurumurthy, the former director of engineering at Twitter, as its chief technology officer, and John Haddock, who spent a decade at Stripe, as its chief business officer.
Weinberg said he has learned to appreciate the value of a strong team, especially during periods of rapid growth.
"We're starting to get to the point where we have really good leadership in place," Weinberg said. "That just changes your ability to scale to such a massive degree."

Ford announces $5 billion US investment as part of its ‘next Model T moment'
Ford plans to invest billions in new electric vehicle production, calling it the company's 'next Model T moment.' Ford said Monday it will invest $5 billion into a new assembly line and battery production to build EVs, including for a new, unnamed model that Ford says will be the most affordable electric pickup truck on the market. Ford said this announcement will add or 'secure' 4,000 US jobs. Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You The Insurance Savings You Expect Great Rates and Award-Winning Service 'We took inspiration from the Model T – the universal car that changed the world,' Doug Field, Ford's chief EV digital and design officer, said Monday. 'We think today will be a turning point for Ford Motor Company and the auto industry.' Ford says about $2 billion of the investment will secure 2,200 hourly jobs at its Louisville assembly plant to build the company's next generation of electric vehicles. However, Ford said the conversion at the plant from gas powered SUVs to electric vehicle will require about 600 fewer jobs than it currently needs, at least partly because the new assembly line will be more efficient. Ford may also produce fewer cars. When asked about the job loss on CNBC Monday, Ford CEO Jim Farley suggested that some workers could be moved to the Kentucky Truck plant, Ford's largest factory that is also in Louisville. He also said Ford would be adding additional EV models to the Louisville Assembly plant. 'So the 2,200 (jobs) is just the beginning,' he said. 'By the way, we're adding 1,700 new jobs up in Michigan that don't exist today. The 600 people here will have plenty to do.' The other jobs and investment will be directed to that Michigan battery plant, whose investment has actually been in the works since 2023. Ford is the latest company to announce a large investment in US operations as it faces steep tariffs on imports and demands by the Trump administration to shift manufacturing back to the United States. Ford already builds more cars in America than any automaker. But the company said Monday it does not plan to shift production of one of its electric models, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, from a plant in Cuautitlan, Mexico. Ford's announcement also introduced a new battery design, which will be smaller and lighter than its previous versions. The new battery will allow the company to price a new EV pickup at $30,000, making it one of the most affordable available. By comparison, the Ford F-150 Lightning pickup has a starting price of about $55,000. The new line will be up and running in 2027, the company said Monday. But the Trump administration has cut federal government support for electric vehicles by doing away with tax credits to help buyers, as well as rolling back emissions regulations put in place by the Biden administration. And Ford is currently losing money on its EVs. While its EV revenue nearly tripled in the first half of this year compared to a year ago, it still lost $2.2 billion in the EV segment during the same time period. Ford said the most significant change will be a different design for its assembly line, which has basically been in a straight line since its founder Henry Ford started the first auto assembly line in 1913. The automaker said its new assembly line will be a tree layout rather than a straight line, with several lines feeding vehicle parts into one another. Ford said the new design will lower costs while making production faster and less difficult for workers on the line. — CNN's Vanessa Yurkevich contributed to this report.

Mizuno adds Black Ion, Denim Copper finishes to JPX 925 Hot Metal, Pro wedges
Mizuno is offering JPX 925 Hot Metal irons and Pro T-1, T-3 wedges in fresh Black Ion and Denim Copper finishes starting Sept. 18. Gear: Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal irons (Black Ion), Mizuno Pro T-1 wedges (Denim Copper), Mizuno Pro T-3 wedges (Black Ion) Price: $165 per club (JPX 925 Hot Metal), $180 each (Pro T-1, Pro T-3) Specs: JPX 925 Hot Metal: Cast Nickel Chromoly 4335 cup-face, multi-thickness CORTECH design, tungsten weighting in 4–7 irons, topline rib structure. Pro T-1 and T-3 wedges: Grain Flow Forged 1025E mild carbon steel, Quad Cut + Hydroflow Micro Grooves, copper underlay, multiple grind options. Available: Sept. 18 Who it's for: Golfers who value proven Mizuno iron and wedge performance but prefer a different visual style. What you should know: Mizuno is adding new Black Ion and Denim Copper finishes to select irons and wedges, giving players more aesthetic choices without altering the feel, forgiveness, or performance of the original designs. The deep dive: Mizuno isn't in the habit of changing a winning formula, but the company knows that sometimes golfers want to put their own visual stamp on their gear. This fall, three of Mizuno's most in-demand models—the JPX 925 Hot Metal irons, the Mizuno Pro T-1 wedge, and the Mizuno Pro T-3 wedge—are getting fresh finish options designed to give players more aesthetic choices without altering the performance characteristics that made these clubs popular in the first place. When the JPX 925 Hot Metal irons debuted last summer, they brought together cast Nickel Chromoly 4335 cup face design with a variable-thickness CORTECH hitting area and strategic tungsten weighting in the 4–7 irons. The design delivered increased ball speeds, consistent gapping, and a higher launch, while topline ribs helped to improve sound and feel. Those traits remain unchanged in the new Black Ion version, but the darker finish reduces glare and adds a stealth-like appearance that fits well with the technology-driven profile. The Mizuno Pro T-1 wedge has been the company's flagship for precision shot-making since its January launch. Forged in Japan from 1025E mild carbon steel using Mizuno's Grain Flow Forged HD process, the T-1 features a copper underlay for added softness at impact and is available in six grind options to handle virtually any course condition. The new Denim Copper finish, available exclusively in the United States, nods to classic wedge styling while toning down glare at address. It creates a more traditional look that pairs well with the club's tour-inspired shaping. For golfers who prefer more forgiveness in their scoring clubs, the Pro T-3 wedge offers a shallow cavity back with a slightly longer head shape to improve stability on off-center strikes. Like the T-1, it features Mizuno's Quad Cut grooves and Hydroflow micro grooves, the same copper underlay, and is available in multiple sole grinds. Now finished in Black Ion, the T-3 gains a bolder, more modern appearance that can be especially appealing in bright light or on firm turf, where the darker surface offers a crisp contrast at setup. Whether it's the stealth of Black Ion or the warmth of Denim Copper, these new finish options let players tailor the look of their irons and wedges without sacrificing the feel, spin, control and forgiveness that define Mizuno's current lineup.
