SAN FRANCISCO and AUCKLAND, New Zealand, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ivo, the leading platform for AI contract intelligence, today announced a partnership with New Zealand Football to become the Official Legal AI Partner of the All Whites, New Zealand's men's national team.
The collaboration reflects Ivo's continued connection to its New Zealand origins as the company expands its global footprint. Founded in Auckland and now headquartered in San Francisco, Ivo helps global enterprises, including Meta, Uber, IBM, Shopify, and Mitsubishi Electric, accelerate contract workflows and surface critical business intelligence locked inside their contract portfolios.
As part of the partnership, Ivo branding will appear on the front of the All Whites' training and press kit as the team prepares to compete on the sport's biggest international stage, as well as across select New Zealand Football initiatives. New Zealand Football will exclusively use Ivo's contract intelligence platform to draft, review, and analyze all their teams' agreements.
The announcement arrives alongside a wave of global momentum for Ivo, which has grown ARR sixfold in the last 12 months and has recently opened offices in London and New York.
"As a New Zealand-founded company, we know what it takes to build something and take it to the world stage," said Min-Kyu Jung, CEO and co-founder of Ivo. "Standing with the All Whites as they prepare for one of the most significant moments in the program's history is something we're really proud of."
