Pablo Calvo Boullosa Is Learning to Count the Minutes Law Firms Miss
After Stripe, Pablo Calvo Boullosa moved to New York to help PointOne sell a quiet proposition to lawyers: easily overlooked pieces of work may be worth counting.
Arvind Sujeeth
Arvind Sujeeth is the co-founder and CEO of Billables AI, a San Francisco startup that automatically captures and writes lawyers' billable time entries from the tools they already use. A Stanford PhD in computer systems, he helped create OptiML and the Delite framework for parallel machine learning, then spent years building generative-AI hardware and software as VP of Engineering at SambaNova Systems. His first company, mines.io, used machine learning to underwrite microloans in emerging markets. The idea for Billables came from his wife's relentless monthly griping about reconciling her timesheets - a problem he reframed as one of the most painful, money-leaking chores in professional services. In 2024 the company raised $3.9M in seed funding led by Wing VC.
Katon Luaces
Katon Luaces is the co-founder and CEO of PointOne, an AI time platform that passively captures, classifies, and validates billable hours for law firms. A former Google and Applied Intuition engineer and Columbia machine-learning teaching assistant, he started PointOne in 2023 with CTO Jeremy Ben-Meir to fix the most-hated chore in law: the six-minute billing increment. The Y Combinator Winter 2024 company raised a $16M Series A led by 8VC in March 2026, bringing total funding to roughly $20M, with firms reportedly capturing 6 to 11 percent more billable time per day.
