About Noetica

Noetica is solving critical NLP problems at the heart of the trillion-dollar capital markets ecosystem with an in-house machine learning platform and decades of ML PhD expertise. Founded in 2022 and based in New York, our high-caliber team is dedicated to bringing innovation and efficiency to legal and financial industries.

We count many of the top law firms in the world among our customers.

To date we have raised ~$30M with our last round (Series A) led by Lightspeed.

The Opportunity

The global capital markets are among the largest markets in the world valued at $50T+ and growing. Transactions in these markets are complex. Critical, nuanced legal terms are woven into lengthy documents. These documents must be digested and analyzed by many different parties over the course of a single transaction and multiple decisions are made based on the terms laid out and quantitative and qualitative attributes within. This fundamental need plus a booming market drives enormous demand for precise extraction and benchmarking of legal terms.
