Founded in 2021 at Harvard University, Jhana’s AI-driven tools assist lawyers and legal teams in streamlining research and document review. Its proprietary database of over 15 million case laws and academic sources allows users to generate legal outputs, such as memos and citations, from natural language inputs. The startup also provides customizable AI solutions for enterprise clients.
With the new funding, Jhana plans to further develop its legal datasets and expand its team, positioning itself for growth in India and beyond.
