AiPrise, a RegTech company developing an operating system for global compliance, has secured $12.5m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Headline, with additional participation from Y Combinator, SixThirty Ventures, Correlation Ventures, and several strategic angel investors.
AiPrise provides an orchestration platform designed to simplify Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) processes for enterprises across more than 150 countries. The company helps businesses onboard customers in minutes rather than weeks by unifying data from over 80 registries, advanced decisioning and case management tools, and AI-powered automation for verification and fraud detection.
The newly raised funds will support AiPrise’s continued product development and team expansion to meet growing demand for efficient, scalable compliance solutions. The company aims to enhance its full-stack compliance infrastructure to help global enterprises expand into new markets while maintaining consistent verification standards.
Since completing Y Combinator’s Summer 2022 programme, AiPrise has grown to serve over 150 global customers and now employs 40 people. Its technology powers onboarding for major enterprises such as Bridge (a Stripe company) and D.Local. The company positions itself as an alternative to fragmented point solutions by offering a unified compliance layer that adapts to client systems rather than replacing them.
AiPrise co-founder and CEO Chaitanya Sarda said, “Global companies shouldn’t have to rebuild compliance infrastructure every time they expand into a new country. We’re thrilled to have the support from Headline, who made a dozen introductions to companies in their network. With this Series A funding, we’re expanding our product and team to meet growing demand. Our goal is to give companies a single, intelligent layer for onboarding and compliance so they can focus on growth while we handle the complexity behind the scenes.”
According to Sarda, the funding round will help AIPrise build a full-stack, agentic solution. The vision remains the same for the company, which is to build the world’s first AI-powered Global Compliance Platform.
As for what the company plans to do with the funding, Sarda remarked, “We plan to invest funds in two areas: Product and Sales. Product: We want to build a 21st-century AI-powered compliance tool that automates the entire onboarding process and makes it real-time. Regarding sales, most sales to date have been founder-led. With the latest funding, we plan to build a robust sales team.”
Headline founding partner Thomas Gieselmann said, “When we first met AiPrise, it was clear they weren’t just building another KYC tool. They’re building the orchestration layer global companies need to operate confidently. By converting several prospective customers, we connected them with paying customers. AiPrise has shown both strong product-market fit and the urgency of the problem they’re solving.”
AiPrise co-founder and co-CEO Rushabh Shah added, “Compliance should empower growth, not hold it back. With this funding, we’re building a smarter, unified platform that transforms fragmented, manual processes into secure, scalable solutions. Our mission is to enable global businesses to fight fraud, scale with confidence, and focus on what matters most: their customers.”
