Our cases include police brutality cases, child abuse cases, California wildfire and motor vehicle accidents. For attorneys, we build ML-driven software that helps them put a dollar value on what their cases are worth, arming them with data to win larger settlements, faster. For personal injury victims, we provide funding for their cases, so they can pursue their cases without settling early. The more cases EvenUp evaluates or funds, the more proprietary data we collect, the more accurate our predictions, delivering greater value to both attorneys and victims.

As one of the fastest growing startups ($0 to ~$2M in ARR in ~1 year), we raised $15M in investment from some of the best investors in the world (Signalfire, NFX, Tribe Capital, Greenoaks), seasoned tech executives (i.e. founder of Quora, SVP at Google, former CPO at Uber), and public figures that care about our social mission (Nas, Jared Leto, Byron Jones). Our team comes from top tech, legal, and investing backgrounds including Waymo, Google, Amazon, Uber, Quora, Blizzard, Norton Rose, Warburg Pincus, Bain, Oliver Wyman.
