Alumni Ventures (AV), one of the world’s most active venture capital firms, is proud to support Hello Divorce, a legaltech platform that lets customers complete the divorce process online. To date, the company has raised over $5 million in seed funding from VCs like AV, The Artemis Fund, Lightbank, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, Gaingels, and others.

Hello Divorce simplifies the divorce process with a unique blend of digital tools and expert legal guidance, which earned the company a spot in the Social Good category on Fast Company’s 2024 Most Innovative Companies list. The platform provides calculators for managing legal and financial logistics, alongside empathetic support and professional advice tailored to the needs of each individual client.

“We’re redefining the traditional, often contentious divorce process by focusing on empowerment and positive outcomes for all involved,” said Erin Levine, Co-Founder and CEO of Hello Divorce. “Our goal is not only to streamline the necessary legal proceedings but also to support our clients through their entire life transition, which can include everything from parenting adjustments to financial planning post-divorce.”

Levine recently appeared on AV’s Tech Optimist podcast to discuss her company’s approach to making divorce less stressful and more affordable.

Hello Divorce has expanded its services to accommodate the diverse legal landscapes across different states, ensuring compliance and effectiveness. The company has also expanded its services to address the broader implications of life after separation, including the common challenge of dividing home equity. This new offering includes an assessment of home value and viable options for managing these assets, supported by consultations with divorce real estate strategists.

As Hello Divorce prepares for its Series A round, the company is poised to build on its growth traction through new B2B partnerships, the addition of their new real estate brokerage subsidiary, and a nationwide expansion which all empower Hello Divorce to revolutionize the divorce process, helping clients navigate life transitions with confidence and clarity.

Hello Divorce is a legaltech platform that lets customers complete the divorce process online, using self-service tools and integrated expert help from financial advisors, mediators, and lawyers as needed. Hello Divorce’s customers largely avoid the confusing court system, spend one-tenth the cost of the average divorce, and complete the process in a third of the time.

Since 2014, AV has raised $1.3+ billion from 10,000+ investors and backed 1,300+ unique portfolio companies. AV is a top 20 venture firm in North America according to CB Insights, as well as the #1 most active venture firm in the U.S., and #3 most active in the world, according to PitchBook’s 2022 and 2023 rankings.
