For far too long, large corporations and the wealthy have had teams of expensive lawyers help them navigate sticky legal issues, but the average person has been on their own, often with the deck stacked against them.

DoNotPay, the “worlds’s first robot lawyer” helps consumers fight corporations and beat bureaucracy through a suite of automated tools.

DoNotPay closed a $10m Series B at over $210m valuation this week from Andreessen Horowitz, Lux Capital, Tribe Capital, Day One Ventures, Felicis Ventures and an unnamed growth firm. Along with institutional participation, a dozen top tier angels participated, including Sam Bankman-Fried (Founder of FTX), Balaji Srinivasan, the Founder of UI Path (Daniel Dines), Clio CEO Jack Newton and Figma Founder Dylan Field.

“The word mission-driven is often overused in Silicon Valley, but not in this case. DoNotPay is truly a mission-driven company with a talented team that is committed to expanding legal rights for underserved communities,” said Niki Pezeshki, General Partner at Felicis Ventures. “People have apps to do almost anything, but consumer rights is one of the last few untapped opportunities.”

In the last year alone, DoNotPay has grown by over 10x in usage, according to publicly available data from SimilarWeb, to over 3m users a month. "I like to think we are a media company with a SaaS backend to monetize," said Joshua Browder: "We publish thousands of free educational guides per month on our website and give consumers the tools to fight back."

The company is currently benefitting from regulatory tailwinds on both the Federal and State level. States are currently introducing hundreds of new consumer regulations each year that a technology company like DoNotPay can take advantage of; for example, in Florida, a new strengthened robocall bill was introduced this month (https://www.natlawreview.com/article/here-it-part-1-definitive-guide-to-new-florida-robocall-bill-you-ve-been-waiting) that has been added to the "robo-revenge" offering.

The team size is currently just 14 people, despite over 250,000 paying customers. In light of the $50m class action lawsuit that DoNotPay defeated earlier this year, we plan to use the funds to go upmarket, helping the 30 million small businesses fight for their rights, stay compliant and protect their intellectual property through trademarks (https://twitter.com/jbrowder1/status/1408156378082856962?s=20).
