Belgian legaltech startup Jurimesh is today announcing the closing of a €1.6 million pre-seed funding round, led by international investment network Syndicate One.
Lawyers used to spend several weeks manually reviewing contracts for a single transaction, cross-checking clauses and compiling reports, a repetitive, time-consuming process prone to oversight.
Jurimesh seamlessly integrates with data rooms, applies advanced AI-powered document recognition, and leverages LLMs to spot red flags, provide recommendations, and generate detailed due diligence reports.
“The legal industry has tolerated inefficiency for too long. We’re here to change that,” said Jorrit Willaert, CEO of Jurimesh.
“This funding allows us to push our technology further and redefine how legal teams approach legal due diligence and contract analysis.”
"Jurimesh helps us structure information faster and automatically identify contractual risks," said Davy Gorselé, managing partner at Quorum, one of Jurimesh’s clients. "It improves both efficiency and the quality of our legal advice."
As well as Syndicate One, the startup received funding from 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.
“We believe Jurimesh is charting a new path in legal tech at a time when the market is increasingly eager for AI-driven solutions,” said Hans Kayaert of Syndicate One.
“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.”
The funds will be used to fine-tune the company’s AI-driven due diligence platform further and expand geographically.
