Lex, an AI-powered writing platform that gives writers instant access to copy editing, writing advice, brainstorming, and more, has raised $2.75 million in seed funding led by True Ventures. The company, which was founded in 2023 by writer, programmer, and designer Nathan Baschez, plans to use the funds to expand operations and its business reach.
Baschez created Lex overnights and weekends in the fall of 2022 as an incubation project within his previous company, Every Media, a newsletter publisher focused on technology, AI, and productivity. Prior to that, Baschez was the first employee at Substack, and co-created Product Hunt. He was also head of product at Gimlet Media, a podcasting network acquired by Spotify in 2019.
Lex is a powerful tool that can help writers of all levels improve their craft. The platform's AI-powered features can help writers with everything from grammar and spelling to finding the right words and phrases. Lex also offers a variety of other features that can help writers brainstorm, plan, and structure their work. The funding round for Lex is a sign of the growing interest in AI-powered writing tools. As more and more people turn to AI for help with their writing, Lex is well-positioned to become a leading provider of this type of technology.
