LegalOS Surpasses $1.5M Annualized Revenue During YC W26

LegalOS (legalos.ai), an AI-native immigration law firm out of Y Combinator's W26 batch, has crossed $1.5M in annualized revenue. The company, backed by YC, Pioneer Fund, Rice Capital, and other investors, reached the milestone only four months after launching.

LegalOS was founded in 2024 by siblings Matthew Asir (CEO) and Rachel Asir (COO) alongside CTO Claire Jutabha. Matthew previously built an immigration SaaS called Legal Bullet. He and Rachel grew up around their family's immigration law practice, giving them decades of domain exposure before starting the company.

Claire leads engineering and AI at LegalOS. Before this, she worked on LLM safety systems at TikTok, document classification at Notarize, and spent time at NASA JPL on the Mars Exploration program.

The core product uses AI agents built on a dataset of 12,000 successful petitions to automate the most time-consuming parts of visa preparation: drafting petition narratives, organizing evidence, and flagging likely objections from USCIS. Licensed attorneys with decades of experience still review and sign every filing. That combination lets the company turn around complete petitions in as little as 48 hours, versus the month-plus timelines common at traditional firms.

LegalOS handles O-1, H-1B, EB-1A, and other work visa categories. So far, every application the firm has filed has been approved.

The market opportunity is significant. More than a million work visas move through the U.S. system each year, and much of the industry still runs on outdated tools and manual processes. Conventional firms typically charge $10K to $35K per case, and the slow timelines can stall hiring for startups that need to move quickly. LegalOS offers a faster, more affordable path.

With just three people on the team, the revenue per headcount points to real operating leverage from the AI-first model. The company is still early, but the traction so far suggests strong demand for a modern alternative in immigration law.
