Big congratulations to Jake Soffer, Jesse Rubin, John Fly, and Maclean Earle at FirmPilot on closing $7M in funding to help services-based SMBs like law firms increase revenues with AI-driven digital marketing. I'm proud Blumberg Capital is leading your latest $5M Series A funding, alongside new and existing investors Valor VC, SaaS Ventures, FJ Labs, and Connexa Capital. FirmPilot uses AI to empower services-based SMBs like law firms with a modern way to efficiently and effectively increase their online visibility and direct inbound interest from prospective clients. Every hour, more than 1,000 people in the U.S. search online for legal help, and 75% of people searching online don't scroll past the first page of results. Law firms, as well as other services-based SMBs such as dentists, plumbers, electricians, veterinarians, and chiropractors, rely on online search and other digital marketing channels as their primary source of customer acquisition.
