What Fileread does

Fileread is a private, venture-backed AI company that builds document intelligence software for litigation teams at large law firms, in-house legal departments, and alternative legal service providers (ALSPs). Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Long Island City, New York (incorporated in Delaware), the company addresses the bottleneck of large-scale document review in eDiscovery and complex litigation by enabling natural-language querying, fact-finding, and narrative generation over entire document collections. Its platform is offered in two forms: a standalone product and a native, real-time integration with Relativity, the dominant eDiscovery platform, listed on the Relativity App Hub.

The core technology is a private-LLM document intelligence stack hosted on Microsoft Azure, processing text, images, charts, and unstructured data with multimodal AI. Differentiated capabilities include a proprietary citation model that links every answer and extraction to source documents (supporting legal defensibility), a context-engineering feature called Matter Intelligence that auto-generates case-specific queries from foundational documents, an autonomous agentic extraction tool (Axis) for converting unstructured documents into structured tables, and a multi-engine Deep Search agent combining keyword, metadata, and semantic search. The platform carries SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR certifications, with military-grade encryption and a privacy-first architecture that explicitly does not train on client case data.

Fileread operates an enterprise SaaS model with quote-based pricing sold through direct field sales to AmLaw firms and Fortune 500 legal teams, supplemented by a Microsoft Azure Marketplace listing (October 2025) and five ALSP channel partnerships (Cimplifi, JND, Purpose Legal, Forcyd, Array). The company has raised approximately $6-7.3 million in seed funding led by Gradient Ventures in July 2023, and reports 3x business growth with 100% customer retention in 2025, with named customers including Kellogg Hansen, Proskauer Rose, Selendy Gay, Smith Gambrell & Russell, Nutter McClennen & Fish, Fields Han & Cunniff, JND, and Cimplifi.
