Jonathan Kanter Launches FluxCap AI to Bolster Antitrust Cases With 20-Plus Virtual Staff

Summary
FluxCap, a startup launched by former DOJ antitrust chief Jonathan Kanter and former acting chief Doha Mekki, is selling an AI legal tool designed to help plaintiffs build monopolization cases.
The platform uses proprietary technology and large language models to analyze legal theories, spot gaps in arguments and sift discovery for evidence of anticompetitive conduct that generic AI tools often miss.
Kanter says the software can give small enforcement teams the equivalent of 20-plus people working around the clock, a response to resource gaps facing state AGs, private plaintiffs and the DOJ.
Those constraints are stark: Congress appropriated the Antitrust Division $245 million for fiscal 2026, with more than 400 attorneys, while targets can field legal teams backed by multibillion- and trillion-dollar companies.
FluxCap launches first in antitrust, with boutique firm Kressin Powers already signed and talks underway with public and private enforcers, as AI legal tech spreads into more practice areas.
