Published

on

Led by Bain Capital Ventures, the new funding will help EvenUp accelerate its goal to use AI to help personal injury firms work smarter, settle cases faster, and get fairer settlements for their clients

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, EvenUp, the market leader in personal injury AI and document generation, announced it has raised a $135 million Series D round of funding and significantly expanded its AI workflow and product suite. The round was led by Bain Capital Ventures, with participation from Premji Invest, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, SignalFire, and B Capital Group. This brings the company’s total funding to $235 million, with $220 million raised over the last 18 months. One of the largest funding rounds in legal AI history, it puts EvenUp’s valuation at over $1 billion.

“At EvenUp, our mission is to close the justice gap through the power of technology and AI,” said Rami Karabibar, CEO and co-founder of EvenUp. “We empower personal injury firms to deliver higher standards of representation, with the goal of ultimately helping the 20 million injury victims in the U.S. achieve fairer outcomes each year. With our latest products, funding, and proprietary data, we’re now better equipped to serve our customers. We’re also excited to continue investing in our talent, expanding our world-class leadership team with recent executive leaders from public companies.”

Over 1,000 law firms use EvenUp, which has helped them claim over $1.5 billion in damages. EvenUp has flagged $200 million in missing documents, leading to settlement increases of up to 30% – putting more money back in plaintiffs’ pockets faster. Based on internal data analysis, EvenUp’s flagship product, Demands, is 69% more likely than non-EvenUp demand letters to achieve a policy limit settlement.

EvenUp’s all-in-one Claims Intelligence Platform™ is powered by its AI model known as Piai™, which is trained on hundreds of thousands of injury cases, millions of medical records and visits, and internal legal expertise. The company’s new suite of products span across the personal injury case lifecycle and include:

Equip case managers and attorneys with the tools for successful representation 

Case Preparation: Law firm staff manage large volumes of cases and engage in painstaking document review tasks. Despite this, an alarming rate of claims are submitted with missing supporting documents. Case Preparation is the first product of its kind to proactively help case managers make the best decisions across the lifecycle of their cases, including identifying missing documents early and simplifying the review of records, improving the quality of case preparation, and reducing time to settlement.Negotiation Preparation: Negotiation Preparation helps injury professionals ensure they’re never caught off guard in negotiations with insights on strengths, weaknesses, and key facts. Attorneys are then empowered with Case Companion, a state-of-the-art AI case assistant for real-time answers to complex questions, to quickly navigate their documents and return sourced-based answers.

Enable firms to reach new levels of performance

Executive Analytics: Executive Analytics makes rich insights and powerful benchmarks from EvenUp’s proprietary dataset easily accessible. AI insights across key case metrics like treatment continuity, demand delays, and more ensure executives have the data they need at their fingertips to unlock new best-in-class performance.

Equip attorneys with new visibility into their historical settlements

Settlement Repository: With over 95% of cases settled privately, firms have lacked clean internal data to evaluate potential offers or inform negotiations on behalf of their clients. Settlement Repository solves this challenge.

EvenUp’s engineering and product teams, which span 100+ people, have shipped 50+ releases this year alone. Twenty percent of its customers are already multi-product users, and EvenUp drafts 1,000+ documents per week for its customers, positioning EvenUp as the largest AI-document drafting platform in the U.S. Revenue has grown over 100% year-over-year, and EvenUp has also more than doubled its workforce in the U.S. and Canada in the past 12 months.

“Everyone is looking for ways that Gen AI can help people in the real world, and EvenUp’s multi-product approach is the perfect example of that,” said Aaref Hilaly, partner at Bain Capital Ventures. “The work Rami and his team are doing in the legal technology space is unmatched, especially given the quality of data they provide to customers and their new workflow products. We are excited to double down and invest again in EvenUp as they embark on this new chapter.”

“We are beyond excited to partner with EvenUp, which is streamlining the day-to-day tasks of attorneys and case managers. The product velocity here is like no other – EvenUp will soon serve as the singular technology platform addressing nearly every pain point personal injury attorneys face,” said Sandesh Patnam, Managing Partner at Premji Invest.

“EvenUp’s powerful insights have reshaped how we make decisions,” said Steve Mehr, founder & partner at Sweet James. “Access to this type of business intelligence solidifies our position as the market leader. Their platform enables us to stay ahead of the competition while scaling with precision and confidence.”

“With first-of-its-kind transparency into case settlement outcomes, EvenUp truly lives up to its name by empowering advocates with accurate data, ensuring injured victims receive fair and full compensation,” said Bob Simon, co-founder of The Simon Law Group.

Published

By

All proceeds will be donated to MacPaw Foundation, a non-profit organization established by MacPaw, to provide aid for civilians affected by russia’s invasion of Ukraine

BOSTON, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innovation in Isolation: The Story of Ukrainian IT from the 1940s to the Present explores Ukraine’s pivotal role in the birth of computer science and its transformation from a former part of the Soviet Union to a thriving European innovation hub and is now available for preorder online. The book will be published on February 11, 2025 ahead of the third anniversary of russia’s unjust invasion of Ukraine. Commissioned by MacPaw – a global software company with deep Ukrainian roots –  published by IST Publishing, and distributed by Pathway Book Service in the U.S., all proceeds from Innovation in Isolation will support MacPaw Foundation’s humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine. These funds will be directed to emergency wartime medical assistance in Ukraine’s most remote and inaccessible areas, a critical need in the face of russia’s ongoing aggression.

From the development of the first computer in Ukraine in the 1940s to its emergence as a global tech hub in the 21st century, Innovation in Isolation chronicles Ukraine’s pivotal role in the birth of computer science. Featuring exclusive interviews spanning generations with compelling illustrations and original photographs never before seen in the West, the book brings to life the untold stories of overlooked geniuses including Sergey Lebedev (1902–1974) and Victor Glushkov (1923-1982).

“We created Innovation in Isolation to shed light on the profound history of Ukraine’s IT industry and to show the world how Ukraine has produced so many talented engineers and IT specialists,” said Oleksandr Kosovan, Founder and CEO of MacPaw. “For decades, Soviet authorities and Moscow elites distorted our history, often claiming our inventions and the names of our inventors as their own. This book will fix that narrative, celebrating the true pioneers who helped Ukraine become a modern tech hub. I hope that readers find this exploration of Ukrainian history both enlightening and inspiring, recognizing the resilience and brilliance of these remarkable Ukrainian minds.”

Innovation in Isolation celebrates Ukraine’s achievements and offers valuable insights into the lessons learned under the oppression and propaganda of the former Soviet Union. This book offers readers a powerful message for today: Ukraine’s innovative spirit continues to thrive despite russian aggression. By examining Ukraine’s resilience and innovation in the face of adversity, readers will gain a deeper appreciation of Ukraine’s tech landscape and the indomitable spirit of its people.

Tenant needs shaping move toward flexible spaces that are ready for move-in

COLUMBIA, Md., Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Demand toward life sciences manufacturing space when compared to innovation and R&D is driving the shift in tenant needs in the market, leading to changes in how architects and contractors’ partner with clients, said Abhishek Dhawan, DPR Construction’s Mid-Atlantic life sciences leader at Bisnow’s Life Sciences Summit.

“The advancement in science and technology has enhanced the need for life science buildings to accommodate continual adjustments in space and use by various tenants and companies,” Dhawan said. “Purpose-built, flexible facilities are the leading design and construction trend in the market.”

With a robust level of drug clinical trials driven by major pharmaceutical firms, the need for move-in-ready space and cGMP manufacturing is very important. However, with tight budgets and consistent advancements in the science and technology, architects and contractors are helping firms maintain a balance between these conflicting concerns.

Dhawan also noted that:

Facilities are being built to accommodate collaboration spaces, vibration sensitive equipment, efficient airflows and exhaust, mechanical/electrical/plumbing for multi-purpose facility use.Shared lab amenities that bring more flexibility in buildings include low temperate product storage, central glass wash/autoclave, data center, cleanroom and fabrication shops.Living plant walls, noise control, and increased access to daylight and fresh air make these buildings healthier for everyone who works in them. Moreover, incorporating features that encourage wellness, such as open and accessible stairways, dedicated fitness spaces and showers, and even outdoor dining, walking paths and bike storage rooms.

The new EASI is highly predictive of the US Census Bureau’s Monthly Retail Trade Survey.
