Case Text was launched with OpenAI and is powering co-counsel now for Thomson Reuters, right? And Case Text was sitting at like $30, $35 million of ARR and hitting profitability three years ago and not having to spend all that money getting clients. Like their CAC was very low.
I wonder if you're looking at something like Harvey today, spending on the side of a building, if they have the right business, the right team, but maybe they blow through the capital and they're like, wow, we spent $10 million on advertising that we could have just put into the product and sales team.
Harvey, $15.5 billion valuation. And then listed Sequoia, blank, blank, and listed 20 VCs.
They tried to do it with WeWork. That didn't work. That was pouring gas.
Gray-market attention, not quality. 50+ HN mentions (peak 1158 points). Claim-shaped headlines are rumors until corroborated — a Tier-3 factual claim carries no evidentiary weight on its own. Risk drivers: heavy gray-market attention. ▲ 1158 WeWork and Counterfeit Capitalism 2019-09-25 ↗
