Novo Emerges From Stealth With $1.1M Pre-seed to Transform Personal Injury Law With AI

AUSTIN, Texas, February 8, 2025 — Legal technology startup Novo announced today it has raised $1.1 million in pre-seed funding from Bitfury and Raw Ventures to transform how personal injury law firms handle pre-litigation.

Novo uses artificial intelligence to draft medical chronologies and demand letters, reducing what typically takes days of work into minutes. Early adopters report cutting total time spent on demand packages by more than 50%.

Every year, U.S. personal injury law firms send approximately 18 million demand packages, the essential documents in pre-litigation that drive settlements. Yet, the process remains slow, manual and expensive. Paralegals spend hours per case reading medical records, writing medical chronologies and drafting demand letters.

“Personal injury firms are drowning in paperwork,” said Charles Porges, Co-Founder and CEO. “We’re supercharging the drafting firepower personal injury firms have at their disposal. This not only helps them spend more time advocating for their clients and winning cases, but it empowers firms to maximize the value of every case, large or small.”

The pre-seed funding will support continued product development and expansion of Novo’s customer base. The company has appointed Austin Zitting as director of growth to lead these initiatives. Zitting brings years of experience scaling enterprise software companies.
