Legaltech firm Aavalynx raises £1.5m led by Omega Ventures with Two Ravens
This article covers Aavalynx, a legaltech startup, which has raised £1.5m in a pre-seed funding round led by Omega Ventures to build real-time forecasting tools that surface corporate dispute risk earlier. The development aims to help legal and commercial teams at businesses see cumulative exposure across multiple disputes and make decisions sooner, targeting corporate legal risk management and the legaltech sector.
Aavalynx has raised £1.5 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Omega Ventures to build real-time forecasting tools that surface corporate dispute risk earlier. The investment aims to help companies see cumulative exposure across multiple cases and make decisions sooner, a response to rising litigation costs that can dwarf annual revenues.
Why it matters
The global legal services market is valued at $1.15 trillion, and roughly 30% of corporate legal spending goes on litigation. A 2026 Norton Rose Fulbright survey cited in the announcement found that in 2025 more than 80% of companies faced at least one lawsuit, and over 46% expect that number to rise. Ongoing disputes can last years, and the cumulative financial risk from multiple cases can sometimes exceed a company’s annual revenue.
Tools that surface exposure earlier in a dispute lifecycle could materially change how businesses manage legal risk — moving them from reactive, counsel-driven workflows to proactive, data-informed decision-making. That is the problem Aavalynx says it is addressing.
Inside the product
Aavalynx offers Sisu, a platform that provides business and legal leaders with real-time forecasts of dispute exposure. Rather than waiting for periodic updates from outside counsel, Sisu aims to aggregate case-level information and model potential financial outcomes across a company’s portfolio of disputes. The platform is positioned to help legal and commercial teams decide sooner whether to settle, litigate, or withdraw.
The company was co-founded in 2023 by Hanna Roos and Lauri Hyry. Roos spent 17 years at major law firms and said she built the product she had always imagined; Hyry brings a background in mathematics and entrepreneurship to the team.
Who are the investors?
The round was led by Omega Ventures, with participation from Two Ravens and several angel investors, including senior law firm partners and a former Amazon Europe executive. The announcement does not disclose individual angel investors’ names beyond those groups.
Investors are backing Aavalynx on the premise that earlier visibility into dispute exposure can reduce legal spend and balance-sheet risk. The deal reflects growing interest from legaltech investors in solutions that shift decision-making earlier in dispute cycles and replace episodic counsel updates with continuous internal visibility.

Founder perspective
In the announcement, Hanna Roos, founder and chief executive at Aavalynx, said:
Current AI tools largely improve lawyer efficiency, but efficiency is not enough. Good tools make disputes efficient, but great ones make them disappear.
In the announcement, Hanna Roos, founder and chief executive at Aavalynx, said:
Our focus is on giving companies data and visibility to make better decisions earlier in a dispute’s lifecycle, where the financial impact is greatest. That shifts them from reactive firefighting to proactive decision-making.
The bigger picture
Aavalynx’s raise sits at the intersection of two trends: persistent growth in corporate litigation and increasing appetite for data-driven risk management tools. Legal teams are under pressure to demonstrate value and control costs, and founders with operator experience in law firms are increasingly turning to product-led approaches to solve those pain points.
For the UK and wider European ecosystem, the round highlights continued early-stage investor interest in legaltech solutions that aim to reduce corporate risk and improve internal decision-making. As litigation frequency and costs trend upward, more venture capital and angel capital may flow to startups promising real-time visibility and forecasting for legal exposure.
