Comp AI secures $2.6M pre-seed to disrupt SOC 2 market

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve secured $2.6 million in pre-seed funding to accelerate our mission of helping 100,000 companies achieve compliance with frameworks like SOC 2 and HIPAA. 

The round was co-led by OSS Capital and Grand Ventures who bring deep expertise in backing open-source and enterprise SaaS innovators. OSS Capital has invested in open source challengers like ProjectDiscovery, Plane and Cal.com, Grand Ventures, known for its operational expertise and early-stage support, joins as co-lead with a strong track record in developer and infrastructure platforms such as Astronomer, Payload, and Tembo. Additional participation comes from Sentry founder David Cramer and Ben Tossell of Ben’s Bites.

Compliance frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 are crucial to securing enterprise contracts, but the path to achieving them is often manual, expensive, and slow. We believe there's a better way – by combining the collaborative power of open-source with the latest automation advances unlocked by agentic AI.

Since launching from stealth in April 2025, we’ve helped our first batch of customers save a collective 2,500+ hours on manual compliance work, participated in the Vercel Spring ‘25 OSS initiative and had over 3,500 companies participate in our pre-launch testing.

Our founding team (left to right: Mariano Fuentes, Lewis Carhart, Claudio Fuentes) is composed of experienced Silicon Valley VC-backed founders who have first-hand experience going through the pains of achieving SOC 2 compliance at their previous startups – and decided that it's time to fix a broken industry.

Legacy incumbents like Vanta and Drata remain costly and time-consuming, often requiring founders to spend weeks manually managing compliance tasks. Comp AI takes a radically different approach — applying cutting-edge AI to automate up to 90% of the process. The result: instant product-market fit and explosive average monthly growth of 89%+. 

This new funding will enable Comp AI to support more companies in accelerating their compliance journeys and closing deals faster. Over the next three months, we will be:

• Expanding our open-source platform, enabling security professionals and auditors to contribute new control templates, framework mappings, and automations.
• Launching our AI Agent studio, moving from beta to general availability. This tool enables customers to deploy agents that automate evidence collection, risk assessments, and vendor onboarding, running seamlessly in the background.

We are incredibly grateful for the confidence our investors have shown in our vision.

“We have been blown away by Comp AI’s speed of execution and customer obsession. GRC has long been overdue for open source disruption, and Comp AI is delivering that in spades.” - Joseph Jacks, Founder of OSS Capital

“GRC - specifically compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, etc.) - has needed bold innovation for years, and Comp AI is leading the charge. Their platform isn’t an incremental improvement - it’s a complete reinvention.” - Nathan Owen, General Partner at Grand Ventures

This is just the beginning. Thank you to our customers, investors, and community for being a part of our journey.

Finally, if you’re excited about what we’re building and want to help us build a future where companies aren’t scared of compliance, we’re hiring and we’d love to hear from you! Reach out to hello(@)trycomp.ai if you're interested.
