Compliance automation startup Comp AI raises $34M to push into security
Compliance automation startup Comp AI today said it has raised $34 million in new funding to advance its software for preparing companies for security audits.
Comp AI plans to spend the money on monitoring that keeps running long after an audit is signed off.
The software reads a customer’s own systems and documents for organizational context, then drafts policies and risk registers from what it finds. Agents handle onboarding, gather evidence, watch controls and run vendor security assessments. Dub Technologies Inc. and OpenCode are among the more than 1,000 companies using it.
The platform’s core is open source. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are among the frameworks it covers, and the project’s GitHub page positions Comp AI as an alternative to Vanta Inc. and Drata Inc. Vanta was valued at $4.15 billion in a $150 million round last year.
“The first generation of compliance software proved this process could be automated. Agentic AI lets us go much further,” said Lewis Carhart, co-founder and chief executive of Comp AI. “Security software shouldn’t just track the work. It should understand the business, perform the work, and act as risk changes.”
Real-time monitoring and control validation come next. The company also wants its agents running security tests against customer applications and infrastructure, an expansion it describes as taking the platform beyond audit readiness and into cybersecurity.
Compliance has historically been “an approximation of security,” co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Claudio Fuentes said, because the underlying work could only be done by hand and on a fixed schedule. He said AI agents remove that limit, and that attacks are getting faster as AI spreads.
Comp AI is incorporated as Bubba AI Inc. and runs out of Miami, with an office in New York. Carhart started it in January 2025 with Claudio Fuentes and Mariano Fuentes, the chief technology officer.
Annual recurring revenue has multiplied 15 times over the past year, according to the company. The round will also pay for hiring across product, engineering, sales and customer success.
Roo Capital and Grand Ventures led the Series A round. The pre-seed round before it, $2.6 million in August 2025, was co-led by Grand Ventures and OSS Capital, with Sentry co-founder David Cramer among the angels. Investors have now put $36.6 million into Comp AI.
