Parachute is building an AI-powered legal operating system designed specifically for small- and medium-sized law firms, a segment its founders say is overlooked by large enterprise legal tech providers like Harvey and Legora. The platform stems from co-founder Ryan Zahrai’s experience running his own practice, where high costs and limited attention from existing vendors highlighted a market gap. By focusing on affordability and dedicated service, Parachute aims to capture the roughly 80% of Australian law firms that fall into the SME category. The product is positioned as a comprehensive operating system rather than a single-feature tool, suggesting plans for broad functionality spanning document drafting, research, and workflow automation. Future growth will center on deepening AI capabilities and expanding adoption across the SME legal market. Financially, the company has secured $1.8 million in pre-seed funding at an $8.5 million valuation, providing initial capital to build out its platform and accelerate go-to-market efforts.

Cor builds Obi, an AI coach that appears over video, reads the user’s screen in real time, and walks them step-by-step through complex product workflows. The technology combines generative video with contextual understanding so it can sustain long conversations and adapt instructions on the fly. Early customers include Sophiie AI and Canibuild, whose end-users span SMEs and construction firms. Founders Mantas Aleksiejevas, formerly at Google, and Luke Hodkinson, former CTO of Uptick, launched the company in Melbourne to tackle sluggish software activation and retention rates. With its first institutional capital now secured, Cor will invest in further product development and expand Obi’s capabilities across the full customer lifecycle. No revenue or user figures were disclosed, but investors cite “faster activation, stronger retention, and clearer ROI” as early proof points.
