PointOne Raises $16M Series A to Capture Billable Time Automatically for Law Firms

Time is money. In law, it’s billable. And for decades, it’s also been…leaky. Enter PointOne, which just pulled in a clean $16M Series A and decided that maybe the most valuable asset inside a law firm shouldn’t be tracked like a forgotten bar tab. 8VC led the round, with Bessemer Venture Partners, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator doubling down. When that lineup keeps writing checks, it’s not charity. It’s pattern recognition with teeth.

Katon Luaces and Jeremy Ben-Meir didn’t stumble into this problem. They went straight for the jugular. Ask any lawyer what they hate, and timekeeping usually lands somewhere between root canals and group reply-all emails. So they built software that doesn’t ask nicely. It just watches, learns, and logs. Emails, docs, calls, meetings. The digital paper trail becomes the receipt. No guesswork, no end-of-day memory games.

Three years in, the numbers start talking like seasoned litigators. Revenue up 10x in roughly 6 months. Over 100+ law firms on board, stretching from boutique shops to global players with four-digit headcounts. And the quiet flex? Firms are capturing 6–11% more billable time per day. That’s not a feature. That’s found money hiding in plain sight.

The product isn’t trying to be cute. It captures time from the start, wraps it in compliance checks, runs it through bill review, and feeds pricing intelligence back into the system. It’s a loop. A tight one. The kind that turns messy human habit into structured, defensible data. Lawyers don’t need another dashboard. They need accuracy they can invoice.

There’s a bigger play humming underneath all this. If time is the foundation, then whoever owns clean time data owns the downstream decisions. Pricing stops being a negotiation gamble. Staffing stops being a gut call. Profitability stops showing up like a surprise guest at quarter’s end. PointOne isn’t selling time tracking. It’s selling control over the economics of a firm.

And here’s the part people will underestimate. This isn’t about replacing lawyers. It’s about removing the friction around how they get paid. Subtle shift. Massive consequence. The firms that figure that out early won’t just bill better. They’ll operate differently.

So congrats to Katon Luaces and Jeremy Ben-Meir for turning one of the most hated parts of legal work into a quiet advantage. And a nod to 8VC, Bessemer Venture Partners, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator for spotting that the real innovation isn’t louder software. It’s smarter capture.
