GoKawiilComp AI raises $34M Series A for agentic security compliance platform
Comp AI, a startup building AI agents to automate security and compliance tasks like drafting policies and gathering audit evidence, announced a $34 million Series A led by Roo Capital and Grand Ventures. The company was founded by Lewis Carhart, Claudio Fuentes, and Mariano Fuentes, who previously ran a workflow startup called LeapAI that they shut down after failing to find a sticky use case. Their frustration with the tedious SOC 2 compliance process while scaling LeapAI directly inspired Comp AI's product.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Compliance work like SOC 2 audits is often a bottleneck that slows software companies from closing enterprise deals, so automating it can directly affect revenue timelines. This funding also signals investor appetite for agentic AI tools that continuously monitor and manage back-office processes rather than just assist with one-off tasks.
