  Moritz positions itself as an 'AI-first (native)' legal provider that takes fixed fees and promises deliveries in hours or days rather than weeks, pairing language models with human lawyers to quality-assure outputs. The founders say Moritz has assisted more than 100 companies in the past three months, with a pipeline of agreements totaling over $2.3 billion and an average delivery time of four hours. The company has recruited more than 50 lawyers as advisors from major firms such as Fenwick, Cooley and Goodwin to ensure quality. In a cited example, Moritz delivered a draft framework agreement for a $290 million transaction in 24 hours versus four weeks for the opposing party's traditional law firm. The founders say the Norwegian base will remain while they tap Bay Area capital and talent, and their long-term goal is to deliver high-quality legal work to everyone in minutes. Moritz recently raised $9 million in the post‑Demo Day round described above.

CEO Marko Wenthin said the new capital will be used to accelerate growth in Germany and to continue developing the product offering for SMEs.
