About
Thomas Fischer is the co-founder and CEO of ContractIQ, an AI-powered contract intelligence platform for enterprise legal and procurement teams. Currently raising a $12M Series A after achieving $2.4M ARR with 35 enterprise customers including three Fortune 500 companies.
Thomas spent a decade in enterprise software, most recently as VP of Product at DocuSign where he led their CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) product line. He saw enterprise legal teams drowning in contracts but using tools designed for the paper era, which inspired ContractIQ's vision of bringing true intelligence to contract management.
ContractIQ uses LLMs specifically trained on legal language to automatically extract obligations, identify risks, and provide actionable insights from contract portfolios. Unlike horizontal AI tools, ContractIQ's models are optimized for legal precision and integrate deeply with enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, Salesforce).
Current metrics: $2.4M ARR (growing 25% QoQ), 35 enterprise customers, 94% gross retention, 115% net retention, 18-month average contract value of $85K. Key customers include a Fortune 100 pharmaceutical company, two major banks, and several large tech companies.
The company raised a $4M seed from Emergence Capital and strategic angels. The team of 25 includes Thomas (CEO), a Stanford AI PhD (CTO), and an ex-Google Cloud enterprise sales leader (CRO), plus dedicated customer success and ML engineering teams.
Thomas is seeking Series A investors with enterprise SaaS and/or legal tech expertise. Ideal investors have networks into Fortune 500 general counsel offices and experience scaling enterprise sales organizations from $2M to $20M+ ARR.
Target raise: $12M Series A on $60M pre-money valuation. Use of funds: expand enterprise sales team (target 100 customers by EOY), launch European operations, accelerate product development including new AI features.
Thomas holds an MS in Computer Science from ETH Zurich and is based in San Francisco. ContractIQ has offices in SF and Berlin.
