In the age of AI, everything from coding to design to sales is moving faster — but contracting remains slow and has become a major impediment, especially for companies that are scaling fast. 

Crosby lets the fastest growing companies reach agreement between humans, at the speed of software. They’re bringing together world-class legal and engineering talent to build the world’s first hybrid law firm, one that combines human oversight with AI’s superhuman speed.

Semantics, details and nuance are foundational in law. Crosby co-founders Ryan Daniels and John Sarihan recognized that people are still better than technology at capturing the subtleties of certain clauses and connecting the dots between business context and legal documents. Crosby built their product accordingly, with both people and AI agents playing a vital role. Agents handle initial passes at standard changes, flag common issues and prepare preliminary redlines, allowing Crosby’s attorneys to focus on strategic decisions and complex legal reasoning. 

That MSA you need signed ASAP? Crosby will return a marked-up copy in less than an hour, advising which terms to accept or push back on based on their context about your business. Crosby plugs into your existing deal desk workflow, ingests inbound contracts and order forms and delivers results faster than any human, at a fraction of the cost. 

Critical to Crosby’s success is the complex knowledge base they build for each customer, incorporating legal preferences and becoming more bespoke over time. Ultimately, Crosby will enter a negotiation understanding everything about your preferences — and the preferences of the business across the table — so it can suggest the optimal solution. Your contract process is faster and more affordable, without sacrificing trust or quality. Crosby provides your company the same legal resources as a larger enterprise, and frees up your GTM team to do what they do best: closing deals and winning, faster. 

We’re already seeing this happen for Crosby’s customers, including Cursor, Clay and UnifyGTM. They’re processing sales contracts in two hours or less, saving thousands of dollars and dozens of hours as Crosby turns what once was an expensive, lengthy process into a competitive accelerant.

Like Crosby itself, Ryan and John’s partnership pairs exceptional legal and engineering talent. We at Sequoia already knew John, a phenomenal engineer and product leader, from his days at Ramp. Ryan worked with our general counsel at Cooley after researching legal AI at Stanford Law. The two of them are wonderfully complementary and have incredible chemistry, which has translated to them building a killer team and serving raving customers. We are proud to lead Crosby’s seed round, and to be alongside their expanding team as they become a trusted partner for fast-growing companies.
