100-word summary
Legal AI startup Harvey just acquired Lume, a five-person data-integration company backed by Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst. Terms weren't disclosed, but Lume's co-founders and most of its team are joining Harvey's product division while Lume shuts down as a standalone company. This is Harvey's second acquisition this year after buying Hexus in January. Two acquihires in eight weeks suggests Harvey is racing to build features faster than hiring alone allows. Lume had raised $4.2 million before the deal. The bet: in legal AI, whoever connects to the most data sources first wins the accounts.
