Millions of Americans have a claim against a company and no practical way to file it. Chariot Claims has now banked $10M to change that arithmetic.
Silverton Partners led the Series A. Alongside it came Graph Ventures, FJ Labs, Alumni Ventures, Rosecliff Ventures, ZVC, Neon Fund, Lightbank and Indicator Ventures. After a $3.6M seed in April 2025, the raise takes Chariot’s total to $15.7M.
The New York startup is not a law firm. It sits upstream of one, using software to find people who may qualify for mass arbitration claims over privacy violations, hidden fees and subscriptions that refuse to cancel, then handing vetted cases to partner firms.
Consumers answer an intake questionnaire that screens eligibility instantly. Chariot’s reviewers then work through the qualified pool, blending automation with human checks, before anything reaches a lawyer. Each month brings north of 200,000 submissions, and in just over a year of running this model the company has taken on roughly 80 cases.
The queue exists for a structural reason. Companies write arbitration clauses that block class actions, leaving scattered individual claims that few firms can chase at volume. Chief executive Zim Hang argues the mismatch is a software problem as much as a legal one.
Investors have noticed the broader trend. Legal tech funding hit a record $4.6B last year, according to Crunchbase data, and has already cleared $3B this year, putting the sector on course to match or beat that mark.
Chariot runs lean at roughly 15 people and is breaking even. The fresh capital goes to hiring and to AI that scores claims faster. Hang is on his third company, having sold a smart-pillow business built on sleep research.
