Laurel

Laurel builds what it describes as the world's first AI Time platform, aimed at professional services firms. The system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to infer the work behind tracked time, capturing work activity automatically and reconstructing how professionals spend their days. The output is an accurate timesheet, linked to business outcomes rather than entered retrospectively. The product serves knowledge workers in accounting, consulting and law.

The platform processes over $5 billion in gross market value for customers annually across hundreds of firms, including EY, Grant Thornton and Reed Smith. Reported effects include customer profit increases of 4-11% and an additional 28 billable minutes captured per professional per day.

Engineering work spans work activity capture, timesheet automation and enterprise security. The company reports early investment in field-level encryption and regional data processing. Its founder is a former litigator; the stated mission is to "return time to the world". Laurel is remote-friendly and backed by investors including IVP, Google Ventures and 01A.
