Ruli Raises $6 Million in Seed Funding to Enhance In-House Legal Intelligence

Ruli AI, the all-in-one legal intelligence platform for in-house teams, led by Bryan Lee, Xi Sun, John Lee, Rouge Yusuf, Jay Park, and Jaemin Lee, has secured $6 million in seed funding led by Album VC, with participation from SignalFire, PJC, Foothill Ventures, Mana, and Genius Ventures, bringing the total funding to $8 million in just over a year. With this funding, the company also announces the addition of Michele Lee, former General Counsel of Pinterest and current GC in Residence at Wilson Sonsini, to its Board of Advisors.

Ruli is pioneering continuous legal intelligence with an AI system that understands a company's unique business context and evolving regulations. Unlike generic contract tools or chatbots, Ruli continuously learns from internal data and global legal updates to deliver proactive, tailored guidance in real time, while keeping customer information fully secure and confidential.

Ruli is transforming how in-house legal teams operate by creating a continuously learning “digital legal brain” that works alongside lawyers, offering real-time intelligence and proactive guidance, not just automation. Integrated directly into tools like Microsoft Word and internal systems, Ruli reduces reliance on outside counsel, streamlines contract review, strengthens compliance, and helps legal teams stay ahead of regulatory change.

The funding will fuel team expansion and accelerate development of Ruli’s AI-powered platform, including its real-time assistant, contract redlining features, and upcoming intelligent archive. Backed by leaders from Google, Meta, and top law firms, Ruli blends deep legal and AI expertise to modernize the legal function for the enterprise.

“SignalFire backs category leaders before the category exists, and our data platform identified a major shift in how AI is reshaping legal operations,” said Wayne Hu, Partner at SignalFire. “Ruli brings exceptional technical and legal expertise to this moment. Their continuous legal intelligence approach is exactly the type of defensible, data-driven company our platform is built to identify and scale.”
