Compuvi, the LegalTech and RegTech AI company behind compliance intelligence platform Confinaid, has closed a seed funding round at a $40m post-money valuation.
The round was backed by Turkish investor Islam Yildiz and Istanbul-based Ozay Law Firm, led by founding partner Merter Ozay. Ozay Law Firm joins as both a financial backer and the company’s strategic legal partner in the region. Additional institutional and strategic investors are expected to be named over the coming months.
The financing will be directed towards three areas: advancing Confinaid’s AI engineering capabilities, building out go-to-market operations across the United States and European Union, and completing enterprise-grade security certifications. The company also intends to broaden its policy library, deepen integration coverage, and develop human-in-the-loop review tooling across its target sectors.
Over the past year, Compuvi moved Confinaid from initial release to its first generally available enterprise version. During this period, the company joined NVIDIA Inception, Cloudflare for Startups, and a number of other accelerator and ecosystem programmes, commenced commercial engagements with regulated enterprises, built out legal and compliance advisory relationships spanning the US, Turkey, and the UK, and initiated SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 certification processes.
Confinaid is described as a preventive legal and compliance risk intelligence platform, operating at the intersection of LegalTech and RegTech. The platform is positioned around the concept of preventive compliance, aiming to identify and address regulatory risk at the moment of creation rather than after the fact. It serves regulated enterprises across sectors including financial services, healthcare, legal, telecoms, energy, and listed technology.
The dual role of Ozay Law Firm, simultaneously placing its own capital and acting as regional legal partner, represents an alignment between financial conviction and domain expertise that the company argues compliance platforms rarely achieve at the seed stage. Compuvi says this structure provides a form of validation that purely financial investment cannot replicate.
Investor Islam Yildiz said, “While many AI solutions in the market are focused on solving similar problems, Confinaid has developed a unique approach in the field of Preventive Compliance. I was impressed by the platform’s deep expertise and clear vision, both rooted in the real-world needs of legal, compliance, and ethics teams. I believe Confinaid is creating an entirely new category within enterprise compliance technology.”
Ozay Law Firm founding partner Merter Ozay said, “Modern enterprises face a new generation of legal and compliance risk that demands new infrastructure. Confinaid is the first platform we have seen that approaches this challenge with the legal rigor, technical depth, and architectural seriousness the moment requires. We believe in this thesis enough to back it with our own capital, and to stand alongside Compuvi as its strategic legal partner in the region as it scales globally.”
Compuvi founder and CEO Ataberk Ciftlikli said, “Our thesis since founding has been that preventive compliance becomes a competitive advantage in the AI era, not a cost of operating in it. This financing accelerates everything we are building toward. The partnership with Ozay Law Firm, simultaneously as an investor and our strategic legal partner in the region, brings a level of alignment that goes beyond capital alone. We are grateful to Yildiz and to Ozay for their conviction in this moment.”
