Founders Fund and Sequoia Back Enter’s $35M Push to Reinvent Legal Work in Brazil
In Brazil, the courts are drowning under the weight of some 84 million pending cases . It’s a staggering number — more than four times the caseload of the United States — and it creates enormous pressure on corporations that face waves of lawsuits and claims every year. For most businesses, legal work is a slow, costly grind. For Enter, a São Paulo–based startup, it’s an opportunity.
This week, Enter announced a US$35 million Series A led by Founders Fund , with Sequoia Capital , OneVCDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → and AtlanticoDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → also participating. The round values the company at roughly US$350 million post-money and marks a rare move: Founders Fund’s only bet in legal AI, and one of its few in Latin America.
Enter’s pitch is straightforward. Instead of trying to build a general-purpose AI, the company is laser-focused on helping corporations manage litigation in Brazil’s uniquely complex legal environment. Its tools use AI to automate responses, draft defenses, detect fraud, and manage portfolios of cases at scale. And the growth has been fast: in just a year, contracted annual revenue has jumped from US$1 million to US$10 million , with customers including Airbnb, Nubank, and LATAM AirlinesDealroom has a profile for this one.

The new capital will go into expanding Enter’s product, scaling operations, and hiring — with an eye not just on Brazil, but on the broader opportunity to apply AI in heavily regulated, high-stakes corporate environments. For Founders Fund and Sequoia, it’s a signal that legal AI isn’t just hype, but a market ready for scaled solutions. For Enter, it’s validation that one of the world’s toughest court systems could also be the launchpad for one of legal tech’s most ambitious bets.
