What to know

  • Comp AI raised a $34 million Series A led by Roo Capital and Grand Ventures, bringing total funding to over $36 million.
  • The platform uses AI agents to draft security policies, collect audit evidence, and continuously monitor compliance controls, while keeping human review for consequential actions.
  • Founders previously ran LeapAI, a workflow startup that grew past a million users but shut down after about two years for lack of a sticky use case.
  • New funds will go toward expanding into continuous cybersecurity, including real-time monitoring and AI-powered penetration testing, plus hiring in Miami and New York.

“We started by making compliance dramatically faster and less resource-intensive. Now we’re building toward a platform to proactively identify, validate, and act on risk in real time.”

    Carhart outlines expansion into continuous cybersecurity

    Comp AI said it will use the new capital to move beyond compliance automation into real-time security testing and control validation across applications and infrastructure, hiring across engineering, product, and sales in Miami and New York.

    “The first generation of compliance software proved this process could be automated. Agentic AI lets us go much further. Security software shouldn’t just track the work. It should understand the business, perform the work, and act as risk changes.”

    Comp AI announces $34 million Series A round

    The round was led by Roo Capital and Grand Ventures, bringing the company's total funding to over $36 million. Comp AI's agentic platform drafts security policies, collects audit evidence, and continuously monitors compliance controls, with human review still required for consequential actions.

    “An agent might draft a policy, for example, but a person still reviews and approves it. As agents take on more consequential actions over time, we believe the level of safeguards and human approval should increase accordingly.”
