A new venture capital fund, GCVC, has officially launched, drawing significant support from over 50 corporate general counsels and the prominent law firm Wilson Sonsini. This initiative is distinguished by its "for lawyers and by lawyers" approach, targeting early-stage startups within the legal, regulatory, and compliance technology spaces.
GCVC has already deployed capital into two promising companies. These include Sandstone, an AI legal tech platform designed for corporate legal departments, and Stilta, an agentic AI platform specializing in patent litigation. The launch aligns with a broader trend of increased investment in legal technology, particularly driven by advancements in artificial intelligence.
This surge in legal tech investment is reshaping the industry, with other firms also focusing on this sector. For instance, The LegalTech Fund closed a $110 million fund in November 2025. The emergence of GCVC underscores the growing opportunity and interest in technology solutions tailored for legal professionals.
