Otta's take

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Luminance is an AI-driven scale-up that provides document analysis software for lawyers and other professionals around the world. The company uses advanced artificial intelligence to streamline the process of reviewing documents, reducing the time spent on different legal processes from hours to minutes. According to Luminance, firms can save more than 90% of their time in the first week of using their technology.

Luminance’s differentiator is its technology – a proprietary blend of supervised and unsupervised machine learning that powers three powerful products. Luminance’s AI helps lawyers to draft, negotiate, review and analyse any volume of documentation in any language, and is the only technology in the world that can take a first pass review of any incoming contract.

Today, Luminance is used by over 400 customers across 60 countries worldwide, including all of the Big Four accountancy firms, one fifth of the world’s largest law firms and in-house teams of multinational organisations such as Ferrero and Tesco. The company has raised over $30 million from world-leading investors, funds which have been put towards developing the company’s technology and hiring global talent in more than six cities around the world.
