What we do

Libra is a category-defining, venture-backed generative AI startup. We’re building infrastructure for the legal system of tomorrow.

We’re driven by a mission to empower every claim owner to make use of their rights. In today’s world, access to the internet is easier than access to justice. We believe in the importance of robust legal systems and AI’s potential to remove many of the obstacles to accessing them. That’s why we’re developing an AI claims drafting factory, which will automatically deliver legal claims using LLMs.

As a fast-moving venture, we’ve closed three pilots with prominent enterprise customers and raised a 1mln EUR in a pre-seed investment from Merantix, Europe’s leading specialist AI Fund. Now we’re building the first prototypes and are looking for an exceptional lawyer to lead the legal aspects of our operations and bring us one step closer to making the vision of a fair, easy to access legal system a reality.
