Confirmed
- The round is a $34M Series A led by Roo Capital and Grand Ventures.
- The company was founded about 18 months ago, starting with three people sharing a room in New York.
- It serves 1,000+ enterprise customers, including Corgi and dub.
- Per @JosephJacks, the company was co-founded by CEO Lewis Carhart and his brother Claudio Fuentes, positioned in cybersecurity and compliance and betting on an agentic security future.
- Its core thesis is that AI agents will take over compliance busy-work, with SOC 2 audit preparation as a typical scenario helping companies reach audit-ready status.
- Per @claudfuen on the High Stacks FM podcast, co-founder Claudio Fuentes said the offering compresses SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO and other compliance processes from months to 5-6 hours.

Why it matters
- Compliance and audit preparation are essential yet labor-intensive chores; if agents can reliably take them over, this is a high-value AI use case. The round signals investor confidence in agentic compliance, and reaching 1,000+ enterprise customers within 18 months is notable growth.
