Reveal
About the company
Reveal is an e-discovery and legal data software company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, founded by Wendell Jisa and trading under the Reveal name since its review platform launched in 2009. It is privately held and backed by private equity firm K1 Investment Management, which invested more than 200 million US dollars in 2021 and has funded an extended programme of acquisitions.
Reveal moved from a single review platform to a consolidated portfolio through a run of acquisitions: NexLP in 2020, Brainspace in 2021, Technically Creative in 2022, LIGL in early 2023, then Logikcull and IPRO together in August 2023 and Onna in May 2024. Founder Wendell Jisa handed the chief executive role to Eric Harmon in October 2025 and became chairman of the board, signaling a shift from founder-led expansion to operator-led integration.
Reveal at a glance:
- Founded: Founded by Wendell Jisa, who led the business for 18 years before becoming chairman, with the Reveal review platform first released in 2009.
- Headquarters: Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with EMEA operations in Amsterdam, Netherlands and an Asia Pacific base in Hyderabad, India.
- Ownership: Privately held and controlled by private equity firm K1 Investment Management, which led an investment of more than 200 million US dollars in January 2021.
- Legal Technology Portfolio: Sells the Reveal review and AI platform alongside Onna for enterprise data collection and Logikcull for self-service discovery, plus IPRO and Brainspace.
- Market Focus: Serves corporate legal and compliance departments, law firms, government bodies and litigation service providers across more than 50 countries.
What legal teams should know: Reveal fits legal departments wanting litigation, investigation and data collection capability from one supplier rather than several point tools. Because the portfolio was assembled by acquisition, buyers should confirm how deeply Logikcull and Onna integrate with the core platform and whether any line is being consolidated. Leadership changed in October 2025.
