Compliance software has always tracked whether the work got done. Comp AI wants its AI agents to do the work itself.
The Miami-based company raised $34 million in Series A funding. Roo Capital, a Coconut Grove investment firm, co-led the round alongside Grand Ventures. The round follows 15-fold annual revenue growth and a customer base that crossed 1,000 businesses.
From Compliance to Continuous Security
Comp AI launched in January 2025 to automate the manual grind of security compliance. That includes onboarding, policy generation, evidence collection, control monitoring and vendor assessments. Its AI agents now handle work that used to take audit teams months, in days.
The company is using the new capital to push further. Planned features include real-time security monitoring and continuous control validation, replacing periodic compliance reviews.
"Security software shouldn't just track the work," CEO and co-founder Lewis Carhart said. "It should understand the business, perform the work, and act as risk changes."
Why Agents, Not Dashboards
Most compliance tools layer AI onto an existing checklist. Comp AI is building agents to execute and validate the underlying security work directly.
"Historically, compliance has been an approximation of security because so much of the work could only be performed manually and periodically," COO and co-founder Claudio Fuentes said. "Agentic AI changes that constraint."
Real customers already running on the platform include Corgi, Dub, OpenCode, Inference and Primer. They span healthcare, financial services, higher education, professional services and software.
A Fast Climb From One Room
Grand Ventures general partner Nathan Owen first visited Comp AI when it was four people. They were working out of a single room in New York. Since then, the company has built out a Miami headquarters alongside its New York office. It plans to hire across product, engineering, sales and marketing in both cities.
Roo Capital principal Varun Sridhar said his firm sees continuous compliance and security as an emerging category. He pointed to the same AI tools speeding up software development as the reason.
The Bigger Bet
Comp AI is betting that businesses selling into bigger enterprises and regulated markets need more than a once-a-year audit. As companies deploy software faster, the compliance snapshot goes stale faster too.
The Series A will fund agents built to catch risk changes, validate controls and test systems as they happen. That work would run in real time, not months later. If that works at scale, Comp AI moves from a compliance vendor into a full security platform. It would compete on ground now held by companies built for the old, periodic model.
What This Means for Miami
Comp AI's Aventura headquarters just landed one of the largest AI funding rounds a South Florida compliance startup has closed this year. That capital follows a pattern MAIN has tracked since the company's arrival: real hiring, real customers, and now real venture backing behind Miami's compliance-tech push.
If the agent-driven bet works, it also raises the bar for every legacy compliance vendor operating in the region. A once-a-year audit increasingly looks like a product built for a market that no longer exists.
