About the Company
- Every civilization runs on the same infrastructure: agreements between people who don't fully trust each other. Sumerians pressed them into clay. Romans carved them into stone. We bury them in 80-page PDFs. The way those agreements are reviewed hasn't changed in four thousand years - a human reads the whole thing and tries not to miss anything. We're building the AI that finally changes that. Ivo is the contract intelligence platform of choice for companies like Uber, Meta, Canva, IBM, and Shopify. We recently raised our Series B and have grown 800% over the last 12 months.
- Engineers at Ivo are inventors. Ivo was first-to-market with: An AI agent that lives in MS word and edits the document for you [2023], Ditching imprecise embeddings models in favor of agentic RAG [2023], Large-scale LLM-based legal fact extraction [2024], A legal assistant that can search large contract databases, without sacrificing accuracy [2024], Clustering legal documents descended from the same family [2025], Automatic deviation analysis to locate buried risk in huge contract databases [2025], Merging contracts with their amendments to make a time series of “composite” contracts (a customer actually cried when we showed her this) [2025].
- We launched in early access in 2023. Since then, we’ve had an incredible response from the market and are growing rapidly. We 6x'd in ARR in the last 12 months. Our clients include companies like Uber, Reddit, IBM, Canva, Pinterest, WordPress, and more. We're happy to share more details with candidates who go through our interview process.
- Startups are very hard, especially if they’re growing fast. You’ll have a ton of responsibility, and there’s always an enormous amount of stuff to do. It’s hard work but the payoff is uncapped.
Equal Opportunity
- Ivo is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
