Steno, a Los Angeles, CA-based provider of tech-enabled court reporting and litigation support services, has raised $49 million in a Series C funding round led by Savano Capital Partners.
The round also saw participation from First Round Capital, The Legal Tech Fund, and other strategic investors.
The company plans to use the funds to significantly boost its expansion and develop the next version of its litigation technology platform.
Steno, a leader in tech-enabled court reporting and litigation support, builds its products based on close collaboration with attorneys, paralegals, and court reporters—not just standalone tools. This funding will help advance the next version of Transcript Genius, ensuring its technology continues to support the high-quality, personalized service that top litigators rely on.

“This investment is a major step in Steno’s growth as we combine personalized service with advanced technology,” said Prabhdeep Singh, COO of Steno. “We have improved transcript analysis with Transcript Genius, created a modern platform for court reporters, and made remote litigation easier with Steno Connect. Now, we’re developing new ways for lawyers to work with testimony and case data. Our goal is to go beyond basic automation, and offer a unified platform where AI and expert support work together to solve everyday challenges for law firms.”
“Many companies in the litigation space make law firms choose between traditional services or software tools,” said Max Swicegood, Principal at Savano Capital Partners. “Steno successfully combines both. Their ability to provide a high-quality, personalized experience while building AI tools based on real litigation workflows is what makes them stand out. We’re excited to join the board and support their next stage of growth. This mix of strong service and deep expertise is very hard for others to match.”
“When we launched Transcript Genius, our AI-powered transcript analysis tool, it changed the industry by solving real workflow problems and keeping users engaged,” said Greg Hong, CEO of Steno. “This new investment will help us deliver an even better product that stays ahead of the market. Because we are both a service provider and a tech company, we understand litigation workflows deeply, giving us an advantage in building AI tools that pure software companies can’t match.”
