We believe legal teams deserve software that works as hard as they do.
Founded in 2022, Archway was built by a team that spent years watching legal professionals lose hours to contract busywork. We decided to fix that.
Built by people who lived the problem.
Before Archway, our founders spent years in legal ops and operations roles at fast-growing companies. They watched contracts pile up in shared drives, renewal deadlines get missed, and junior lawyers spend entire days manually extracting data from PDFs.
In 2022, James Okafor (formerly VP Legal at a Series C fintech) and Mei Lin (ex-Palantir, AI infrastructure) started Archway with a simple thesis: the best contract software should feel like having a brilliant, tireless paralegal who never misses a deadline.
Today, over 1,200 legal and ops teams use Archway to manage their most important business documents. We're headquartered in San Francisco and backed by top-tier investors who share our belief that legal infrastructure is one of the most underserved areas in enterprise software.
What we stand for
Precision
We sweat the details because our customers' contracts do too. Every extracted clause, every alert, every UI interaction is held to the highest standard of accuracy.
Transparency
We build in public where we can. Our pricing is clear, our roadmap is shared with customers, and we tell you exactly how our AI makes decisions.
Ownership
Every person at Archway owns their work end-to-end. We hire people who care about outcomes, not just output, and we give them the space to make real decisions.
Craft
We believe B2B software can be beautiful. Every screen, every interaction, every word of copy is crafted with the same care as the best consumer products.
