Fuel Venture Capital, co-led by Managing General Partner and Chief Investment Officer Maggie Vo—a globally recognized leader in venture investments—is excited to announce its latest investment in the $4.5M pre-seed round of Aracor AI. This investment highlights Fuel VC’s commitment to expand its core AI portfolio and capitalize on the future of AI-driven innovation, and further support the growing number of women leading the way in tech as both thought leaders and leading industry experts.
Founded by award-winning attorneys and leading technologists, Aracor AI is revolutionizing the workflow of in-house legal teams, particularly in high-growth sectors like private equity, venture capital, and technology. The platform addresses the unique challenges of these industries, where legal operations are highly complex, time-sensitive, and data-sensitive.
By combining AI-powered tools for deep, comprehensive contract review, holistic analysis across large document sets, and seamless document workflows, Aracor AI enables in-house teams to review thousands of pages of complex corporate documents with the precision and insight of an experienced team—faster, more accurately, and while maintaining full control over their processes. Its proprietary Secure Language ModelTM and patented redaction tool evidence Aracor AI’s unwavering commitment to ensuring enterprise-grade data privacy and protection that meets the most stringent security standards.
With its focus on efficiency, accuracy, and security, Aracor AI is rapidly becoming the trusted partner for leading organizations navigating high-stakes transactions and legal operations. Early adopters include a number of leading PE & VC funds, and SaaS companies in the US and abroad.
“First, as both an early adopter and as a frequent user, I have experienced firsthand how Aracor AI has supported our fund to expedite contract review, streamline due diligence, and negotiate with greater insight and confidence. As a female General Partner, it’s deeply meaningful to support a passionate and forward-thinking female CEO and co-founder like Katya Fisher, cheering her and bringing her vision to life – even when the whole world might not fully see it yet. Together, we are championing diversity in tech and innovation while strengthening the South Florida innovation ecosystem,” said Maggie Vo, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Fuel Venture Capital. “And as an investor, I am excited to join Aracor AI’s journey early, and drive its exponential growth as the company continues to unlock the true potential of the AI technology in the legal world.”
The new funding will be used to:
- Enhance Product Development: Further, innovate the Aracor AI Secure Language Model™, improve AI capabilities for holistic document analysis, and roll out new features tailored to enterprise legal teams.
- Expand Market Reach: Target strategic growth opportunities in international markets and deepen penetration in private equity and VC sectors.
- Scale Operations: Invest in team expansion, particularly in engineering, sales, and customer success, to support growing demand from enterprise clients.
- Bolster Security: Secure Aracor’s leadership in enterprise-grade data protection with ongoing enhancements to its framework.
Aracor AI is backed by Constructor Group and Dutchess Management and further supported by an esteemed advisory board—including Revlon’s General Counsel David J. Schwartz, highly experienced general counsel and member of Dutchess Management Blair Flicker, and former Yale Law School Professor of Jurisprudence Jules Coleman. Notably, Constructor Group’s legal team has fully utilized Aracor AI for due diligence and contract reviews, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars on external legal expenses across its portfolio companies.
“Partnering with Fuel Venture Capital marks a pivotal moment for Aracor AI,” said Katya Fisher, Founder and CEO of Aracor AI. “Their investment and strategic guidance will empower us to bring our groundbreaking AI solutions to more businesses worldwide, helping them reach their full potential and achieve transformative outcomes.”
Fuel Venture Capital’s investment in Aracor AI is a testament to its AI thesis of identifying and supporting high-impact companies that are embracing AI to redefine how consumers and businesses transact, consume, work, and enjoy their lives in the future. As both organizations collaborate to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI, the partnership promises to deliver unparalleled value to stakeholders and industries alike.
