Bench IQ Secures $5.3 Million Seed Funding to Enhance Judicial Intelligence Platform
Aug 27, 2025
Bench IQ, led by former ROSS co-founder Jimoh Ovbiagele, has raised $5.3 million in seed funding to expand its AI-powered judicial intelligence platform.
Bench IQ, an AI-powered judicial intelligence platform, has successfully raised $5.3 million in a seed funding round. This follows a previous $2.1 million pre-seed round in 2024. The funding will be used to expand the company's proprietary dataset, advance its AI agents, and grow its team in the US and Canada.
The platform, co-founded by Jimoh Ovbiagele, former co-founder of ROSS Intelligence, aims to provide comprehensive insights into judges' decision-making patterns. It does so by analyzing not only written rulings but also oral rulings and other data, addressing the challenge that only a small percentage of rulings are accompanied by written opinions.
The seed round was led by Battery Ventures and Inovia Capital, with participation from CIBC Innovation Banking, MVP Ventures, Maple VC, and Haystack VC. The company has already secured four of the top five Am Law 100 firms as customers, highlighting its growing influence in the legal sector.
