About Paolo Fois
Paolo Fois is co-founder and CEO of Lexroom.ai, a Milan-based legal technology company. Crunchbase lists his location as Milan, Italy.
Lexroom was founded in 2023 by Fois, Martina Domenicali (chief revenue officer) and Andrea Lonza (chief technology officer). Per Fashion Law's funding tracker, it was founded in May 2023 via Vento Ventures. The product is an AI legal research platform. It gives citation-backed answers to questions asked in natural language, and it also covers contract drafting and legal opinions. It focuses on Italian and EU civil law markets.
Lexroom has raised a €500,000 pre-seed, a €2M seed (March 2025), a $19M Series A led by Base10 Partners (September 2025) and a $50M Series B (May 2026). The Global Legal Post puts total funding at more than $73M.
Fois invests as an individual angel while running Lexroom. Crunchbase lists 2 personal investments for him: a seed round in Klaaryo and the JustSolve pre-seed. Press coverage also names him as a business angel in the TextYess seed round. No fund, syndicate or total number of investments is public. We found no public statement from him about his investing approach.
In September 2026, Fois took part in JustSolve's €3.7M pre-seed. Of that, €3M was equity led by Base10 Partners, and the rest came as grants. JustSolve is a Milan-based startup building agentic AI for credit management and pre-legal debt collection. He is listed among the business angels as CEO and co-founder of Lexroom.
He was also named among the angels in TextYess's €2.4M seed. TextYess is a Milan-based AI startup that helps e-commerce brands sell through WhatsApp and messaging platforms. Entourage and Angel Invest Ventures also took part in that round.
The public record is thin. His known angel cheques are in early-stage rounds of Italian AI startups: a pre-seed (JustSolve) and seeds (TextYess, Klaaryo). They sit alongside institutional leads such as Base10 Partners and Entourage. Both JustSolve and TextYess are Milan-based. His own company works in legal AI. Check size and ownership targets are not public, so they are not stated here.
