Welcome to First Block, a Notion series where founders from the world’s leading companies tell us what it was like to navigate the many firsts of their startup journey—and what they learned from that experience.
In this episode, we spoke with Gabe Pereyra, Co-founder and President of Harvey. Harvey is an AI platform built for large law firms and their clients, helping thousands of lawyers collaborate on complex matters with the power of generative AI. From a seed check from OpenAI to a valuation that has grown to $8 billion, Harvey's trajectory is one of the defining applied AI stories of the last few years.
