Vesence Raises $9 Million to Embed Precision AI Review in Microsoft Office for Law Firms

The Sweden-founded startup targets risk‑averse teams with agents that run rigorous checks inside Microsoft Office.

Overview

  • Emergence Capital led the seed round with participation from Creandum, 20VC, Y Combinator, and angels including Paul Graham, Anton Osika and OpenAI operators.
  • Vesence’s platform places task-specific AI agents inside Word and Outlook to check compliance, consistency, style and formatting across documents, emails and projects.
  • The company reports a 90% weekly active usage rate in an early firm‑wide rollout at customers such as Cederquist.
  • Vesence says it never trains on client data and operates on Azure with SOC 2 Type II certification, end‑to‑end encryption and a zero data‑retention policy.
  • With the new funding, the team plans to expand agent capabilities, deepen workflow integrations, hire talent from organizations such as Google, BCG X and MIT, and explore applications in transactional law, investment banking and consulting.
