"I still interview everyone, so I ask quite brutal questions about, 'Why take a hard job? You could go work somewhere else,' Max Junestrand said."
"'I try to create missionaries, not mercenaries,' Max Junestrand said. 'And I think we've successfully done that.'"
"We had the big sales dashboard in front of us at the wine thing, and everybody kept looking at it, because everybody wants momentum, he said."
Legora is a Swedish legal AI startup valued at $2 billion that competes with San Francisco-based Harvey. Max Junestrand, cofounder and CEO, personally interviews every candidate and asks challenging questions to assess commitment and cultural fit. The company prioritizes hiring 'missionaries' over mercenaries and seeks employees with raw grit willing to work late hours. Legora employs about 300 people, doubled head count in six months, and plans to double again in the first half of the year. The team pursues momentum intensely, tracking sales KPIs even during holiday dinners and signing deals on New Year's Eve.
