Toronto-based startup Alexi has secured a CAD $4.5 million venture debt facility from TD Innovation Partners (TDIP), the technology banking division of TD Bank. This financing comes on the heels of Alexi’s impressive growth trajectory and underscores its commitment to revolutionizing the legal industry through artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solutions.

Founded in 2017, Alexi has thus become an established provider of AI-powered litigation technology for the attorneys and legal teams who help to make their work less cumbersome. Through the proprietary platform developed by this firm, research memos are generated, relevant legal issues and arguments can be identified, and routine tasks are automated. 

By the use of advanced AI, Alexi aims at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of these legal practitioners, especially the litigators.

The recent CAD $4.5 million venture debt facility from TDIP adds to Alexi’s financial momentum. Just eight months prior, the company closed a $15 million Series A funding round led by Drive Capital, with participation from existing investor Draper Associates and other undisclosed backers. These consecutive funding rounds have significantly bolstered Alexi’s financial standing, enabling the company to invest in growth initiatives and product development.

• Customer Experience Enhancement: The user experience needs to be improved, and the idea is to work on the interface and functionality of the platform so that it improves based on user experience.
• Expansion into Markets: Alexi wants to expand its customer base among law firms in North America. It’s seeking to mobilize new funds into growth initiatives.

Speaking on the funding, the co-founder and CEO of Alexi said the funding will significantly enhance the balance sheet of the company and propel its expansion thrust. He added that the funding will be quite helpful in getting Alexi into kick-starting its growth initiatives.
