Comp AI, a US-based compliance automation startup focused on streamlining GRC processes for fast-growing companies, has announced the close of a $2.6m pre-seed funding round.
The investment was co-led by OSS Capital and Grand Ventures. OSS Capital has previously backed open-source leaders like ProjectDiscovery, Plane and Cal.com, while Grand Ventures is known for its early-stage bets on developer and infrastructure platforms such as Astronomer, Payload and Tembo.
Other notable investors in the round include Sentry founder David Cramer and Ben Tossell, founder of Ben’s Bites.
Founded by a team of serial entrepreneurs with first-hand experience in tackling compliance hurdles, Comp AI is reimagining the journey towards SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 certification. The company aims to support over 100,000 businesses with a platform that replaces legacy manual workflows with automation powered by agentic AI and collaborative open-source tools.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development and growth. In particular, Comp AI will expand its open-source platform to support community-driven contributions such as new control templates and automations.
The company will also roll out its AI Agent Studio, a system designed to automate compliance tasks like evidence collection, vendor onboarding and risk assessments, moving it from beta to full release in the coming months.
Comp AI claims it has already saved its first customers over 2,500 hours of manual compliance work since emerging from stealth in April 2025, it said. It has also attracted interest from over 3,500 companies during its pre-launch phase.
OSS Capital founder Joseph Jacks said, “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.”
Grand Ventures general partner Nathan Owen added, “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.”
