SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GC AI, the AI platform for in-house legal teams, today announced it has raised $60 million in Series B funding led by Scale Venture Partners and Northzone, with participation from Sound Ventures, Aglaé Ventures, SilverCircle Partners, News Corp, The Council, and strategic investors including Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel.

“In-house teams deserve technology built for their unique reality,” said Cecilia Ziniti, Co-founder and CEO of GC AI.Share

More than 1000 companies now use GC AI to move faster and work smarter across their legal teams, including News Corp, Nextdoor, Skims, Liquid Death, Vercel, TIME Inc., and Zscaler. The platform delivers instant expertise for everything in-house legal touches: contracts, policies, compliance, regulatory, and employment law.

“In-house teams deserve technology built for their unique reality,” said Cecilia Ziniti, Co-founder and CEO of GC AI. “As an in-house lawyer at Amazon and Replit, I saw AI’s potential in helping legal teams become real business drivers. That’s why we built something lawyers actually use and trust, and our 70 NPS proves that.”

The in-house counsel population, made up of lawyers that companies employ, is growing at more than double the rate of lawyers working in law firms and government roles.* And yet, every legal AI company focuses on law firms. GC AI takes a different tack by bringing AI to where the legal needs arise – to general counsels and their teams at companies. The company was built by a former general counsel, and has exploded in popularity to more than 1000 companies. Users love that GC AI is:

• Built for in-house lawyers. GC AI was founded by an ex-Replit team – three-time General Counsel and 15+ year lawyer Cecilia Ziniti and AI engineer and CTO Bardia Pourvakil to solve the specific challenges faced by corporate legal teams. The platform covers the full spectrum of work including commercial, employment, product, privacy, and corporate governance. It integrates seamlessly into how companies communicate, collaborate, and make decisions.
• In-House Legal Agents, where the company needs them. GC AI delivers instant time-to-value, combining the leading, accurate AI chat, with commercial contract agents that can redline directly in Microsoft Word, and custom negotiation playbooks so legal teams can review, summarize, and advise faster with greater context.
• Easy Adoption and Change Management. More than 5,000 legal professionals have taken GC AI’s courses on legal AI prompting and applying AI in real legal work. These programs are becoming the standard curriculum for the next generation of in-house leaders, and drive adoption and advocacy and unparalleled engagement.

GC AI has grown from $1 million to over $10 million ARR in under a year, averaging 23% month-over-month growth in 2025. Most customers log in daily, and report cutting outside counsel spend, reducing turnaround times, and moving their business faster. Across customers, GC AI has saved an estimated 600,000 hours of legal work. Sales teams close deals faster. Products launch on schedule. Legal becomes a strategic partner to the business, not a bottleneck.

“GC AI is proving to be a valuable addition to our legal operations,” said Robert Schlossman, Chief Legal Officer at Zscaler. “As a cybersecurity company, our customers rely on us to protect their digital transformation, and we need to move quickly while maintaining the highest standards. GC AI is enabling our legal team to be more efficient, reduce our reliance on outside counsel, and deliver better legal outcomes for Zscaler’s rapidly scaling business.”

“Sometimes the name tells the story. GC AI is one of those cases,” said Rory O’Driscoll, Partner at Scale Venture Partners. “Their AI-enabled product is designed specifically for the needs of in-house legal teams, which are very different from the needs of an attorney at a large AmLaw firm. Since announcing the product 18 months ago, GC AI has experienced massive growth, acquiring over 1000 customers.”

The Series B funding will accelerate product development, expand enterprise capabilities, and deepen the company’s investment in integrations, agents, and even deeper accuracy for high precision document work. GC AI will focus on building the most trusted, intelligent legal AI action layer for in-house legal teams worldwide.
