History 

[edit | edit source]

Clio was established in 2007 by Jack Newton and Rian Gauvreau.[1] Clio launched the first cloud-based practice management software developed for law firms.[citation needed]

In 2012, Clio's Series B raised $6 Million.[2][3] The company made the first version of its Application Programming Interface available in 2012.[4]

In September 2013, Clio released a mobile application that provides access to the company's software from iOS devices.[5] The release occurred at the company's first annual Cloud Conference.[6] 

In 2014, Clio received $20 Million in Series C funding from Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from its initial investor, German-based venture capital firm Acton Capital Partners.[7][8] Clio also announced the Android version of their mobile application and a major product update.[9]

On October 5, 2018, Clio announced that it had acquired client intake software provider Lexicata and that the Lexicata product would be converted into a new product called Clio Grow.[10] By this time, Clio also supported 120 integrations with other legal software applications.[6] 

One year later, in September 2019, Clio raised a $250M (USD) Series D from TCV, JMI Equity.[11]

On April 27, 2021, after several acquisitions in the legal technology space, Clio was valued at $1.6B with the announcement of a $110M Series E funding round.[12]

In July, 2023, Clio announced a $900M USD Series F round.[citation needed]
