Overview

Providing AI tools for commercial contract review, legal research, and contract portfolio analysis.

Ivo provides an AI platform that helps companies review contracts, answer legal questions, and analyze agreements across a contract repository. Its review tools compare clauses with playbooks, historical contracts, deal context, and relevant legal benchmarks, then help legal teams apply redlines in document editors. The assistant supports comparisons with prior agreements, regulatory research, and analysis of how legal changes affect contract positions. Its intelligence product extracts contract data automatically and lets users query agreements in plain language without manually maintaining tags or fields. It can also show amendments and term changes together and identify where executed contracts depart from standard positions. The platform is aimed primarily at in-house legal teams handling commercial contracts, including teams at large companies with substantial contract volumes. Ivo states that it does not train AI models on customer data and cites SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliance.

What they’re building

The problem

Legal teams reviewing commercial contracts must identify risky or nonstandard terms, apply consistent negotiation positions, and complete reviews without slowing business deals.

Their answer

AI-assisted contract review that checks clauses against legal playbooks, historical agreements, deal context, governing law, contract type, and industry, then recommends positions and redlines that can be applied in Word or Google Docs.

Built for In-house legal and commercial legal teams at mid-sized and large companies, especially organizations handling high volumes of contract negotiations.

The problem

Legal teams need to answer questions about prior agreements and current legal requirements, but researching documents, regulations, and changes in law can be time-consuming.

Their answer

An AI legal assistant that compares documents with prior agreements, researches regulations, tracks changes in law, and identifies contract terms that may fall short of legal requirements or established positions.

Built for In-house counsel and legal operations teams responsible for commercial contracting, compliance, and legal research.

The problem

Businesses often lack a clear, searchable view of the terms and relationships contained across their contract repositories, making it difficult to find patterns or understand how executed agreements differ from standard positions.

Their answer

Contract intelligence that connects to agreements where they are stored, extracts data automatically, supports plain-language queries, groups agreements with amendments into timelines, and surfaces deviations from standard terms.

Built for Legal and business teams at companies with substantial contract repositories that need contract data for analysis, reporting, and decision-making.

Why we invested

Contract review is the most expensive, time-consuming work in any in-house legal team, yet for years the only solutions built for it were either clunky enterprise platforms or generic AI tools with no understanding of how lawyers actually work. Ivo is an AI-native contract review assistant that plugs directly into Word, checks documents against a team's own playbook, and flags issues the way a smart junior lawyer would, without replacing the judgment of the people using it. Min-Kyu Jung left Bell Gully, taught himself to code, relocated to San Francisco, and attracted Eric Yuan and Craft Ventures before the product had revenue, which tells you something about the quality of the founder.
