Billables AI is a San Francisco startup that runs quietly in the background of a lawyer's workday, watching the email, documents, calls, and calendar entries flow past, and turning them into finished, billable time entries - descriptions and all. Founded in 2023 by a team from SambaNova, Pinterest, and Mya Systems, the company argues that law firms lose real money not because lawyers do not work, but because they forget to write down that they did. It has raised roughly $14 million across a 2024 seed and a 2026 Series A, and now sells its passive, API-based timekeeping to hundreds of midmarket law firms.
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.
