A Message from Orbital’s CEO: Announcing Our $60M Series B Fundraise

There is a lot of investment and noise in legaltech at the moment, so you’d be forgiven for thinking this is just more of the same, but Orbital is different. We are only focused on one thing: real estate.

In highly valuable and specialized industries, one size does not fit all. And in real estate, the world’s largest asset class, legal processes are no different. Real estate is a unique, complex, location-based, physical asset class with a strong historic dimension where issues are not just typed up in legal documents like a contract, but are spatial, location- based, dependent on local jurisdictions, old maps, understanding easement areas, different zoning or planning legislations, etc, etc. This is highly, highly specialized.

Real estate is not just enormous in size, it is also highly emotive. It is the transport infrastructure we use to get around, it is dream homes for first-time buyers, it is office spaces needed for new businesses, it is data centers to power the AI revolution, and it is new energy infrastructure needed to power those data centers. Real estate is, by definition, everything around us, everything physical and I am so honored that Orbital is trusted by over 200,000 of these real estate transactions a year by our customers.

In an era, when legaltech is booming (legaltech startups raised $6B of funding in 2025), the legal process by which real estate is transacted has been left to generalist legal technologies that treat real estate transactions purely as text and generic legal work, without understanding all of the nuance and flows of information unique to a real estate deal. Orbital is changing that for law firms, in-house teams, title companies, REITs, owner/operators, and a wide range of real estate organizations.

It’s easy to forget that fundraising is not inherently a measure of success. As the saying goes, it is fuel for the journey - just a pitstop. What really matters is the momentum, the customers, the team, and the change being effected. Everyone at Orbital is committed to remaining focused on that change to automate real estate legal processes (in the US and the UK and, eventually perhaps, further afield) and, specifically, what makes that real estate domain unique and differentiated in a world of AI commoditization.

Personally, I am excited to be moving my life to the real estate capital of the world, New York City, to work with our customers across multiple new US offices to be opened throughout 2026. Product and AI engineering at Orbital will grow significantly in London, to build our product offerings across both the US and UK, and we are also hiring across sales, customer success and legal engineering (real estate lawyers who want to work in an AI business!) in NYC, Chicago, and Austin. Please reach out to me directly if you’re interested in joining us.

We’re delighted to welcome Brighton Park Capital, who led this round, and Kevin Magan, who will join us on our board. Orbital’s history of combining capital from technology investors with capital from corporates who intimately understand the domain of real estate law (previously Parker89, the venture capital arm of First American; and JLL Spark, the venture capital arm of JLL) is continued with REV, the venture capital arm of RELX Group which owns LexisNexis joining this fundraise, alongside Moderne Ventures, The LegalTech Fund, and Grosvenor.

We are grateful for all existing investors, including Outward and Seedcamp, who continued to support us.

Real estate is the world around us and real estate law dictates how we interact with that world. It shapes our safety and shelter, our investments, our livelihoods, and the places we care about. That’s why what we’re building at Orbital truly matters.
