ABOUT IVO

Contract negotiation is the most time-consuming, costly, and difficult component of the contract lifecycle-and it hasn't gotten much easier since the days of fax machines.

Large language models have unlocked the ability to solve many contract negotiation problems at scale. Our product is best-in-market (we had a 85% trial win rate in Q3) and rapidly embedding itself into the lives of its users.
