Wilson Sonsini Advises Arc on $10.76 Million Seed Funding
On May 26, 2026, voice AI start-up Arc announced the launch of its drive-through platform and a $10.76 million Seed funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation by Adverb Ventures, Broadway Restaurant Group, LLC, United Talent Agency, and others. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised Arc on the financing.

Founded by Square and Cash App veterans Mike MacLennan and Ali Hussain, Arc is the only voice AI platform purpose-built to bring e-commerce-grade optimization to the drive-through. Powered by its proprietary AI voice ordering system, Arc’s platform “lets operators manage their drive-through with the precision, measurability, and curated experience of a modern digital channel,” according to MacLennan. The company is already working with two major fast-food chains and says its system can complete orders on its own over 95 percent of the time.

The Wilson Sonsini team that advised Arc on the financing included Mark Baudler, Jonathan Chan, Jocqui Kaup, Peter Bratton, James Power, Mounika Yepuri, and Annie Xu.
