■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 3 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Sandstone, an AI workflow automation platform for legal teams at small and mid-sized businesses, secured $30M in Series A funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

The raise positions Sandstone within a rapidly expanding market for legal tech automation. Competitors like Harvey and Legora have already attracted eight-figure funding rounds, signaling strong investor appetite for AI solutions targeting the legal sector. Sandstone's platform automates workflow processes for in-house legal teams, reducing manual work and streamlining operations. The Series A capital will fund product development and go-to-market expansion. The legal AI vertical has emerged as one of the most competitive segments in the startup ecosystem, driven by demand from enterprises seeking to cut costs and improve efficiency. Sandstone's focus on SMBs addresses a segment often overlooked by enterprise-focused competitors.
