Entegrata helps law firms centralise their data, while Caddi is an innovative AI automation solution. Both have raised seed funding this month.
US data lakehouse solution provider Entegrata announced yesterday (18 March) that it has closed its seed round, bringing the company to $4.5m in total funding. The round was led by Chicago Ventures with participation from OnDean Forward (the investment vehicle of Relativity founder Andrew Sieja and former executives) and The LegalTech Fund. This funding milestone brings together a powerful group of industry leaders with deep expertise in legal technology and data-driven innovation.
Founded in 2023 by CEO and former Fireman & Company partner Tom Baldwin, Entegrata helps organisations to centralise their data and maximise their Microsoft and Azure investments. Its legal data model offers a library of pre-built Microsoft PowerBI reports and is said to significantly accelerate the path to real-time analytics.
“Law firms today are under immense pressure to become data-driven, yet most still rely on outdated, legacy systems not designed to handle the requirements of modern law firms,” Baldwin. “Our platform consolidates that data and transforms it into actionable insights—making complex data simple and driving better decision-making across the firm.”
Mike Kolb, COO at Dickinson Wright and an early adopter of Entegrata, said: “Law firms have data scattered across countless systems, making it nearly impossible to create a single source of truth. While AI is already transforming legal work, its impact on the business of law has been largely untapped—until now. As we work with Entegrata, we see the potential to bring firm-wide data together and leverage AI to answer critical business questions in real time. What once felt like a distant vision—interacting with data as easily as having a conversation—is quickly becoming a reality.”

Elsewhere, Caddi also yesterday announced the official launch of its automation platform specifically designed for law firms and legal departments, following the completion of a $5m seed round earlier this month. The platform enables legal professionals to automate complex administrative tasks by recording themselves performing the work once – with, they say, AI handling the rest.
Born from six months of incubation at the AI2 Incubator (founded by the Allen Institute for AI), Caddi says its solution directly addresses the automation challenges that have historically plagued legal workflows due to their complexity and compliance requirements.
“Law firms have been promised automation benefits for years, but implementation typically requires extensive IT resources, coding knowledge, or disruptive workflow changes,” said Alejandro Castellano, Caddi’s CEO. “We’ve created a paradigm shift where attorneys and legal staff can train our system just as they would a junior associate – by demonstrating a process once, explaining the key steps, and then delegating it entirely.”
Caddi uses artificial intelligence to understand the underlying intent of actions rather than simply recording keystrokes.
“Traditional automation tools fail in legal environments because they can’t handle the complexity of legal-specific workflows,” said Aditya Sastry, Caddi’s CTO. “Our system generates API-driven integrations that understand what the user is trying to accomplish, not just which buttons they’re pressing. This is particularly crucial for legal professionals who work across multiple specialized platforms and document types.”
Caddi’s initial rollout focuses on high-impact administrative processes that consume valuable attorney and paralegal time such as compliance reporting. However Caddi says it can be used to automate KYC and simplify time and billing procedures.
“We designed Caddi to fundamentally change how legal professionals think about technology adoption,” said Castellano. “Our vision is to transform the economics of legal practice by eliminating the administrative burden that currently consumes up to 40% of billable time in many practices.”
