Harvey, a rapidly growing AI company working in the legal space, has acquired Hexus, a startup that develops tools for creating product demos, videos, and step-by-step guides. The deal comes as Harvey continues to expand its product capabilities in a legal tech market that is becoming increasingly crowded.
Hexus founder and CEO Sakshi Pratap said the company’s team based in San Francisco has already joined Harvey. Engineers currently working from India will move over once Harvey opens its Bengaluru office. Pratap will take charge of an engineering group focused on improving Harvey’s products for in-house legal teams.
Pratap said Hexus brings hands-on experience in building enterprise AI software, particularly in areas closely related to Harvey’s work. That experience, she noted, should help Harvey move faster as competition across legal AI tools continues to rise.
Hexus had raised $1.6 million from early-stage investors and angel backers prior to the acquisition. Pratap did not disclose financial terms of the deal but said it was structured to reward the team over the long term.
Strengthening Product Capabilities Amid Rapid Growth
The acquisition adds to Harvey’s momentum following a year of major fundraising. The company confirmed last year that it reached an $8 billion valuation after raising $160 million, taking its total funding in 2025 to $760 million. Earlier in the year, Harvey was valued at $3 billion following a large funding round led by an existing investor.
Harvey says it now works with more than 1,000 customers in 60 countries. Its client list includes a majority of the top ten law firms in the United States, along with a growing number of corporate legal teams.
Harvey’s beginnings trace back to an early experiment by co-founder and CEO Winston Weinberg while he was working as a junior lawyer. Along with co-founder Gabe Pereyra, an AI researcher with experience at major technology companies, Weinberg tested a language model on real legal questions taken from public forums. When practicing lawyers reviewed the answers, many said they would use most of them without making changes.
That response convinced the founders that artificial intelligence could significantly change how legal work is done. Soon after, Weinberg reached out directly to OpenAI’s leadership, which led to early backing from the OpenAI Startup Fund. According to the company, the fund remains one of Harvey’s largest investors.
With the addition of the Hexus team and continued investment in engineering talent, Harvey is pushing to strengthen its position as legal AI tools gain wider adoption across the industry.
