Cunchao Tu

Cunchao Tu is the founder and CEO of PowerLaw AI (幂律智能), a Chinese legal-tech company applying large language models to contract review and legal document processing . He established the company after recognizing that LLMs could replace the costly, time-consuming data annotation and model training pipeline previously required for legal AI, instead enabling direct information extraction through conversational interfaces . Under his leadership, PowerLaw AI raised nearly 60 million yuan in a Series A round led by Source Code Capital in 2021 , followed by a nearly 80 million yuan Pre-B round in late 2023 with continued backing from both Source Code Capital and Linear Capital . Tu has described law as "the most promising vertical scenario for large model落地应用" given its text-in, text-out nature , and was named to lists recognizing young business elites .
