London-based generative AI legal tech startup Robin AI is expanding into Singapore months after securing funding from an investment company owned by the Singaporean government.
Robin AI, which has developed a platform to automate menial and repetitive legal tasks such as document drafting, is establishing a physical footprint in Singapore’s Robinson Road WeWork building.
The startup, founded in 2019, will continue to operate out of its London HQ and New York location, also WeWorks, alongside its new base in Asia.
Robin AI started out in a six-person office in London and has since expanded to a team of 140 full-time staff.
The move, shared exclusively with UKTN, follows Robin AI’s £20m Series B funding round in January. The round was led by Temasek, an investment company owned by the Singapore government.
The deal also saw Temasek director Ming You See join the board of directors at Robin AI.
The state-owned fund has backed the likes of Alibaba, Xiaomi, Airbnb and PayPal.
Other Robin AI backers include Monzo and GoCardless co-founder Tom Blomfield, Episode 1 Ventures, Plural and Google for Startups.
Robin AI recently appointed former Tumblr and MySpace executive Scott Casey as the group’s chief financial officer.
