About DISCO
CS DISCO, Inc., operating as DISCO, develops cloud-native ediscovery and legal technology software. The company was founded in 2013 by Kiwi Camara in Austin, Texas, where it remains headquartered, and built its platform to apply artificial intelligence to document review, legal research, and case management processes traditionally handled with manual, on-premises tools.
DISCO's core offerings include DISCO Ediscovery, DISCO Review, and DISCO Case Builder, which use AI models to accelerate document review, predictive coding, and legal analytics for litigation and investigations. Customers include law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies that rely on the platform to manage large volumes of electronically stored information during discovery.
DISCO raised venture funding from investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, LiveOak Venture Partners, and Georgian Partners before going public on the New York Stock Exchange in July 2021 under the ticker LAW. The company has made acquisitions to expand its product suite, including Case Logistix and Prism Litigation Technology, and has periodically restructured its workforce to align with its shift toward profitability.

Competitive Landscape
Who DISCO competes with, and how they differ.
Relativity is the entrenched eDiscovery market leader, offering both the decades-old on-premise Relativity Server used by large law firms and the newer cloud-hosted RelativityOne, giving it a far larger installed base than DISCO's cloud-only platform.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Everlaw is a venture-backed, cloud-native eDiscovery and litigation platform closest in architecture to DISCO, competing head-to-head for corporate legal and law-firm accounts; it raised a $202M Series D in 2021 that pushed it past unicorn status.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedReveal is a private-equity-backed eDiscovery platform assembled through acquisitions of AI-review and case-management vendors, competing on the breadth of a bundled product suite rather than DISCO's single, organically built cloud platform.
Logikcull (Logik Systems) targets smaller law firms and corporate legal teams with a self-serve, lower-priced cloud eDiscovery tool, competing with DISCO mainly at the low end of the market rather than for large enterprise litigation matters.
