A well-capitalized bet on in-house contract triage
Wordsmith has raised several funding rounds since 2024, most recently a large Series B in June 2026 with Highland Europe and Index Ventures, later extended with additional capital from Intact Private Capital and FT Ventures. It's used by more than 500 organizations, including named enterprise customers BT, Canva, Financial Times, Sage, Starling, and Trip.com.
Founded in 2024 in Edinburgh by CEO Ross McNairn, a lawyer-turned-engineer, Wordsmith has since expanded to London and opened a New York office alongside its Series A, growth that tracks the demand it's found among in-house legal teams specifically.
