> SR007 AI-native law firm handling commercial real-estate and M&A transactions with licensed attorney oversight; $2.5M pre-seed announced November 3, 2026.

## Why it is interesting

Athena is an unusual Speedrun graduate: the founders are building a fixed-fee AI-powered legal services firm rather than selling seats to hourly-billing law firms. A $2.5M pre-seed announced November 3, 2026 and 22 company-reported early customer relationships provide tangible, but not independently audited, commercial signals.
