Harvey ARR Hit $190M

Harvey’s 2025 Year marks a clear shift in how the company is positioned inside the legal industry: from an emerging AI tool to mission-critical infrastructure.

The company crossed $190M in ARR, is now used by over half of the AmLaw 100, and serves 1,000+ customers across 59 countries. User engagement remains strong, with a 92% monthly adoption rate, DAU/MAU up 81%, and the team scaling past 500 employees.

Enterprise adoption continued to accelerate. CMS signed Harvey’s largest law firm deal to date, expanding firmwide across 50 countries, while DLA Piper rolled the platform out to 3,000 lawyers globally.

Pendo ARR Hit $300M

Pendo has firmly established itself as a leader in the product experience category, surpassing $300M in ARR in early 2026.

By combining product analytics, in-app guidance, and user feedback into a single platform, Pendo helps teams build software around real user behavior—reducing friction, improving feature adoption, and driving retention. This has made it a core system for companies shifting toward product-led growth.

Much of Pendo’s recent momentum comes from Pendo AI, which changes how teams work with user data. The platform automatically uncovers user intent and enables no-code, in-app guidance that supports users in real time. This shortens time-to-value for new customers, reduces support costs, and ensures product decisions are driven by trillions of data points, not intuition.

Today, it serves 2,500+ enterprise customers, including many Fortune 500 companies, while expanding rapidly across Japan and Europe, reinforcing its leadership in digital adoption and product experience.

A Database Built for AI, Not Humans Up 6× ARR in a Year

Over the past year, products designed for AI rather than humans have gained traction. We’ve seen AI-first search (Exa), agent-native browsers (Browserbase), and document tools(Structuring Unstructured Data) designed for machines rather than people.

Now, a database built specifically for AI agents has joined that list. Over the past year, its ARR grew 6× to $6M. This is a company I’m especially bullish on—not just because of what it builds, but because of how it grows.
