Inside Harvey AI: CEO Winston Weinberg on How a 4-Year-Old Company Is Taking on the Foundation Labs

Winston Weinberg is the CEO and co-founder of Harvey, the $11 billion AI platform now used by 2/3 of the AmLaw 100 and 500+ in-house legal teams including HSBC, Bridgewater, Carvana, and Blue Owl.

"I think every single company is going to sell intelligence."

In this episode, Winston walks me through Harvey's San Francisco HQ and then sits down to break down the state of the business: roughly $300M ARR (up from $100M last August), 2,000 customers, 960 employees across 12 global offices, and token usage that jumped from 1 trillion in January to a projected 12-13 trillion this month.

"It feels like if you do not constantly change, you are just gonna get so behind that you die as a company right now."

Winston covers the shift to cloud agents, why Harvey's real competition is the foundation labs (not other legal tech companies), how to reinvent a company every 6 months, the future of vertical models, the billable hour problem coming for every AI buyer, and why every company will eventually sell intelligence.
