Chamelio Secures $10M Seed Funding for Legal Intelligence Platform in NYC
Chamelio shows up like a legal department that finally learned how to change colors on command. Not camouflage for hiding, but precision for survival. Founded in August 2023 and headquartered in New York with an engineering core in Tel Aviv, Chamelio was built by people who lived the mess. Contracts everywhere. Knowledge nowhere. In-house legal teams buried under documents, blamed for delays, treated like a cost center when they were really flying blind through institutional amnesia.
On January 27, 2026, Chamelio locked in a $10 million seed round and made that problem loud. Work-Bench led $5.7 million from New York. Emerge Ventures anchored earlier from Tel Aviv, bringing the total clean to eight figures. This was not a vibes check. It was a conviction bet on legal intelligence as infrastructure, not another shiny tool bolted onto a broken workflow.
Alex Zilberman runs the room as Chief Executive Officer and co-founder with operator scars from scaling AnyVision and watching partnerships turn into pressure. Gil Banyas, Chief Operating Officer and co-founder, brings fifteen years of legal and operational muscle from Oosto and the general counsel seat. Gal Lellouche, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder, built and scaled AI teams at Sage and knows how models behave when theory meets production. Together they did not build a contract repository. They built memory.
Chamelio sits inside Microsoft Word, Slack, Teams, Salesforce, and the systems legal teams already live in. It redlines contracts, automates low risk agreements, and analyzes thousands of documents in minutes without losing context. The platform learns a legal team’s risk posture and negotiation history so answers do not float. They anchor. Customers like Wiz, Fiverr, Socure, Global-e, Cellebrite, Lightricks, Integrity, and WSC Sports are already using it as daily infrastructure.
About one hundred enterprise customers are live across the United States, Israel, and beyond. Some are completing fifteen percent more contracts with the same headcount. Others are saving over ten thousand dollars a month. The team is twenty strong and hiring fast in Israel while expanding go to market in the United States. Chamelio does not pretend lawyers disappear. It makes them faster, sharper, and harder to ignore, and that color shift is only getting more visible.
