Sequoia-backed Crosby launches a new kind of AI-powered law firm
The tech industry talks a lot about how AI is going to transform work. Legal startup Crosby, which just came out of stealth with a $5.8 million seed round led by Sequoia, is perhaps the most extreme example of what's coming that we've seen to date. Crosby isn't just making AI software for lawyers – although it is doing that. Crosby is an actual law firm using AI to provide legal services at a speed never before possible. Rather than selling tech to lawyers, Crosby has hired lawyers who use its internally developed AI software. It sells contract-review legal services, largely to startups. The company is currently promising that its AI software, with human overseers, can review a new client contract in under an hour. And it hopes to get that down even faster – perhaps to just minutes, according to its co-founder CTO John Sarihan, who spoke with TechCrunch. Ryan Daniels, Crosby's co-founder and CEO, is a lawyer himself and the son of two law professors. He cut his teeth at Cooley, one of the biggest firms that represents the tech industry. He then spent the better part of a decade doing general counsel work for startups. 'My last company, where I was the only legal person, grew from about 10 to 100 people, and I found that most of the time that I was spending on legal was for our contracts, sales agreements, [and] MSAs,' Daniels said, referring to the part of a customer contract known as a master service agreement. Contract negotiations and legal review were such a bottleneck at the company that they were the 'reason why we weren't growing as fast as we wanted to.' Today, contract negotiation remains a human-to-human process, which can take weeks or months. While there are a growing number of AI tools that help lawyers speed up parts of their work, Crosby's founders believed that the only way to use AI to really change the legal industry, was by 'building our own law firm in order to own the entire process, end to end,' said Daniels. Sarihan, who was an early employee at Ramp, set about hiring software engineers from the startup world, while Daniels began hiring lawyers. Today the startup employs about 19 people, including the founders. 'The innovation here is in the tech and in the people,' Sarihan said. The firm soft launched in January, the co-founders said, and it has already reviewed over 1,000 customer contracts — like MSAs, data processing agreements, and non-disclosure agreements — for fast-growing startups like Cursor and the sales automation startups Clay and UnifyGTM. Sequoia's Josephine Chen and Alfred Lin led the seed round along with Bain Capital Ventures with participation from a bunch of angels like Ramp co-founders Eric Glyman and Karim Atiyeh, Opendoor co-founder Eric Wu, Casetext co-founder Jake Heller, Instacart co-founder Max Mullen, and the co-founders of Flatiron Health, Zach Weinberg and Gil Shlarski. The stars aligned for Crosby to land Sequoia as an investor. Chen knew Sarihan from Ramp. She had previously met him through the co-founder of Venue, an AI procurement startup she had backed and that was acquired by Ramp last year. When the co-founders pitched their idea to Chen, she asked Sequoia's in-house lawyer about the idea, and that lawyer, Cindy Lee, knew Daniels from her time at Cooley. 'When we think about seed investing, for us, it's probably 70% around the team and 30% around the market, market dynamics, and the insight that the founders have there,' Chen explained. Given all the connections she already had to the founding team and that legal work is a $300 billion industry, Chen was down to disrupt it with Crosby. 'We had seen, even in our own portfolio [companies], how negotiating contracts can be a bottleneck for growth,' Chen said. Legal, in her view, is 'a bull's-eye case for the use of LLMs.'

'Biggest game' of the year? Time for newcomers to create their own history
There's at least 150 of the 200-odd games in an AFL season that will attract more attention in an often Victoria-centric football media than Sunday's clash between Greater Western Sydney and Gold Coast. Symbolically, though? I'm not sure there's all that many more important. Even the Giants' often on-point social media accounts had tongue firmly planted in cheek early this week when they posted: "The biggest game on the football calendar, it's time for the Expansion Cup". But it perhaps says enough about both these clubs that in the 15th season of Gold Coast's existence and 14th for the Giants, we're still referring to them like the "new kids" in the classroom rather than identifying them more by their achievements. Which, let's be frank, are pretty scarce. Certainly in Gold Coast's case, the Suns yet to appear in an AFL final and several times along the way having been regarded more as a joke than a serious football club. GWS has a lot more runs on the board. The Giants have even played in a grand final, albeit one (in 2019 against Richmond) in which they were thrashed by close to 100 points. They've reached finals seven times in the past nine seasons. But even the club itself would acknowledge that if it is to ever really crash through the barrier of widespread popular acceptance and support in that largely still rugby league-dominated expanse of Sydney's west, a premiership sooner than later is a must. Gold Coast? Well, it's a big few weeks in a big year for the Suns. Why? Because, to borrow a line from Crosby, Still, Nash & Young's "Déjà vu": "We have all been here before". Last year, Damien Hardwick's first as the Suns' coach, saw the Suns 7-5 at this same stage of the season. From the final 11 games, they'd win just four. The sort of collapse which was de rigueur for Gold Coast long before the Richmond premiership coach's arrival. This time, it's 8-4 after 12 games leading into last week's bye. Superficially at least, there's a better feel about the state of play now. The Suns' last outing ended in defeat, but as losses go, it was a very respectable one at Geelong with the Cats at the top of their game, exactly the sort of assignment which only a couple of years ago would inevitably have seen Gold Coast wiped off the park. There's a degree of solidity we haven't seen about the Suns before. They're currently ranked top four for both defence and attack. Midfield, their biggest stars - skipper Noah Anderson, Matt Rowell and Touk Miller - are in great touch, and the experience and run of senior additions to the mix Daniel Rioli and John Noble has really given them better ball movement. Theoretically, the bye should have come at the right time, the Suns having lost their past two games but able to take stock, focus on the positives. But their history of dramatic late-season fade-outs will surely be playing on a few minds in the Suns camp. A win on Sunday against a proven side on a real high after having knocked over reigning premier Brisbane on the Lions' own Gabba turf last Saturday would surely frank Gold Coast's credentials as a serious finals player in 2025. As for Greater Western Sydney, the Giants are thereabouts for a third season in a row under Adam Kingsley, having won 15 games each in 2023 and last year, and currently 8-6 after the Brisbane win, without skipper Toby Greene no less, not to mention spiritual barometer Callan Ward. That was a terrific win, coming from behind, another reminder of just how capable the Giants are. Their greatest bugbear this season, however, has been consistency. GWS got off to a great start with four wins from their first five games, the highlight a comprehensive 52-point win over Collingwood in opening round, a victory which has looked better by the week as the Pies have gone from strength to strength. MORE AFL NEWS But the Giants then lost four of their next five, interspersed with another tremendous, gritty win over Geelong, which was followed by a lame home loss to Fremantle. They also lost to Port Adelaide at a time the Power were on a four-game losing streak. That was redeemed at the Gabba last week, but now comes another personnel challenge, with star full-back Sam Taylor out for at least the next month with a broken toe, and important midfielder/forward Brent Daniels sidelined again. The Giants earned a reputation for getting it done against the odds two years ago, but undid much of those hard-won gains with a couple of now-infamous chokes in finals last year against Sydney and Brisbane after having finished top four. If they're going to scale the premiership mountain, they're going to need to string good form together for longer. Sunday's game against Gold Coast would be a great way to back up last week's significant victory. Gold Coast, meanwhile, knows there's a considerable army of sceptics out there fully expecting their 2025 campaign to implode. But if Hardwick's Suns can get the better of the Giants away from home, we might have some compelling evidence we are in fact dealing with a different beast this year. Significant stakes for the Giants and Suns, both of whom would love to be known for something more than simply being the two most recent additions to the AFL competition.

Why Raiders' Maxx Crosby Didn't Believe He Belonged as Rookie
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has established himself as the best defensive player in the National Football League. When you talk about defense in the league, Crosby is at the top of that list. He has been the best player in the league over the last few seasons, and he is also looking at ways to improve and get better, no matter what. He is the hardest worker in the league as well. But that was not always the case for Crosby. Coming into the league Crosby was not a highly scouted player or a top player coming out of the draft. A lot of teams did not have him on their draft board and some did not even know who he was. But the Raiders took a chance on the kid out of Eastern Michigan. And that was all Crosby needed to turn into the superstar he is now. Right out of the gate, Crosby had some doubts if he even belonged in the NFL. In his first training camp with the Silver and Black, he saw some things he was not used to seeing, and the players were not like the ones he faced in college. "Antonio Brown… I've never seen anything like it," Maxx Crosby told Manziel on the Glory Daze podcast. "He had his whole family. We're in training camp, like in team period, and he'd just have his shoulder pads off on the sidelines, just playing catch with his kids on the other field." "In my head, I'm like 'Is this normal?' But I'm like, 'Oh, I guess he's a superstar, so he just does what you want. And then you see the guys pulling out, everyone's got Rolls-Royces and all this stuff, and I'm like, 'What is this? Why am I here?' I just felt like I was like placed in a movie, and I just happened to fall into the wrong movie at that time. It was just crazy on a daily basis." "Trent Brown, he had just been paid, the highest paid lineman of all time. I've gone against a lot of bad ..., even in the MAC I played some real competition," Crosby added. "And I see Trent Brown, this is the biggest human I've ever seen in my life. And he moves like a cat. I'm like, 'I don't know if I can play here. I don't know if this is going to work out.' Every time I stunt inside, I got Richie [Incognito] waiting for me, trying to decapitate me." Find us on X (formerly Twitter) @HondoCarpenter and on Instagram @HondoS to talk Crosby and more.

Bing Crosby's French-inspired California mansion sells for $25M — far below the original asking price
The late American entertainer Bing Crosby's sprawling French Chateau-style estate sold last week for $25 million — $15 million less than its asking price. Crosby, best known for his crooning holiday hit 'White Christmas,' bought the property in Hillsborough, California in the early 1960s, as a gift for his wife Kathryn. The sprawling 5.38-acre property south of San Francisco offered the star and his family of five a reprieve from Hollywood. The estate remained in the family for six decades, but it only stayed on the market for less than four months. Despite the discounted sale, first reported by Mansion Global, the transaction ranks among the Silicon Valley enclave's priciest sales ever. 12 The property listed in February for $40 million. Jason Wells/ Golden Gate Creative 12 The French Chateau-style home was built in 1929 and purchased by Crosby in the early 1960s. Jason Wells/ Golden Gate Creative 12 Bing Crosby. Getty Images The residence, built in 1929, spans an impressive 14,000 square feet. Ornate fireplaces and intricate woodwork line the interiors, which include 11 bedrooms, an impressive library and a smoking room with a built-in bar. The estate also offers a separate wing for staff housing. The Crosby family undertook extensive renovations on the house, according to Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty. Kathryn commissioned hand-painted dining room walls by a prominent San Francisco artist, and the couple installed antiques from the collection of news baron and 'Citizen Kane' inspiration William Randolph Hearst. Those additionaly include a hand-carved wooden staircase banister and Georgian paneling from a 17th-century English manor home. Hearst was a close friend of Crosby's, the Wall Street Journal reported, and an avid collector of European antiques. 12 A foyer.

Jason Wells/ Golden Gate Creative The outlet also reported that the couple filled in the property's pool for the safety of their three young children. Crosby lived in the luxurious home until his in death in 1977. His heirs retained the property until the death of his second wife Kathryn in 2024, according to the Journal, after which time Crosby's children decided it was time to sell. 12 The $25 million sale ranks the home among the most expensive ever sold in Hillsborough. Jason Wells/ Golden Gate Creative Compass agents Alex and Pierre Buljan told Mansion Global that the transaction, which closed on Thursday, places the home in the top five priciest home sale's in the history of Hillsborough. This puts the Crosby estate in league with Elon Musk's 47-acre former estate that sold for $30 million in 2021 and again for $35 million in 2022. While the buyer is not yet identifiable in public records, Buljan told the outlet they are a Hillsborough local that plans to maintain the character and history of the home.
