Comp AI Raises $34M Series A to Build Agentic AI for Continuous Compliance and Cybersecurity

Comp AI, an AI-native compliance and security company helping businesses navigate an increasingly complex security landscape, led by Lewis Carhart, Claudio Fuentes, and Mariano Fuentes, has announced a $34 million Series A led by Roo Capital and Grand Ventures. The raise follows a period of rapid growth since the company’s January 2025 founding, with Comp AI achieving 15x ARR growth year-over-year and now serving more than 1,000 customers. 

The funding will accelerate the company’s expansion from compliance automation into continuous cybersecurity, covering real-time monitoring, control validation, and security testing.

While first-generation compliance software replaced spreadsheets and manual processes, much of the work remained human-driven, offering only periodic snapshots of security posture. Agentic AI enables software to continuously execute and validate tasks that once required ongoing human intervention.

Comp AI is building around this shift, using organizational context and AI agents to automate onboarding, policy and risk generation, evidence gathering, control monitoring, and vendor assessments. The platform helps software companies achieve compliance in days rather than quarters, while serving customers across healthcare, financial services, higher education, professional services, and software.

“AI is changing the security and compliance landscape quickly, and businesses can no longer afford to treat compliance as an annual box-checking exercise,” said Varun Sridhar, Principal, at Roo Capital. “Lewis and Claudio saw that shift early and built an agentic platform that makes compliance and security continuous. The gravitational pull they have received from the market shows us that customers have felt the pain and see the need for a platform like this one. Comp AI is exactly the type of company we are building Roo to back, and we believe it has a real opportunity to define this category. As company builders ourselves, we are excited to lead this investment and put Roo’s differentiated Capital + Talent + Growth model to work alongside the team as they scale.”

As AI accelerates both software development and cyber threats, security environments are evolving faster than point-in-time assessments can capture. Security systems will increasingly need to operate in real time, adapting continuously to changing risks.

The Series A will support the company’s expansion beyond compliance automation into AI-agent-powered continuous cybersecurity, covering real-time monitoring, control validation, and security testing across applications and infrastructure.

“The first generation of compliance software proved this process could be automated. Agentic AI lets us go much further,” said Lewis Carhart, CEO and Co-Founder of Comp AI. “Security software shouldn't just track the work. It should understand the business, perform the work, and act as risk changes. We started by making compliance dramatically faster and less resource-intensive. Now we're building toward a platform to proactively identify, validate, and act on risk in real time.”

As software companies move upmarket and into regulated industries, security requirements are becoming earlier and more demanding. Comp AI helps companies meet those requirements while building security capabilities that scale with their growth.

“Historically, compliance has been an approximation of security because so much of the work could only be performed manually and periodically,” said Claudio Fuentes, COO and Co-Founder of Comp AI. “Agentic AI changes that constraint. Work that once required teams of people can increasingly happen continuously in software. At the same time, AI is making the threat landscape faster and more dynamic. We believe the next generation of security companies will be built around that reality from day one.”

Built for the agentic era, Comp AI is designing its platform around what AI agents can do, rather than adding AI to legacy workflows. Its agents can reason across organizational context and increasingly execute tasks for security and compliance teams.

“AI changes both what software can do and how quickly technical teams can build it,” said Mariano Fuentes, CTO and Co-Founder of Comp AI. “As models become more capable, we can move beyond software that simply records whether security work happened toward software that can execute and verify that work.”

Comp AI will use the new capital to accelerate product and engineering, expand continuous cybersecurity capabilities, and grow its teams in Miami and New York. Following 10x year-over-year growth, the company plans to hire across product, engineering, operations, sales, customer success, and marketing as it moves upmarket.

“When I first visited Comp AI in New York, the team was four people working out of a single room,” said Nathan Owen, General Partner at Grand Ventures. “Since then, an increasing number of our own portfolio companies have left other compliance platforms out of frustration and moved to Comp AI, and every one of them raved about both the process and the result. That’s the same thing I saw on day one: a team that moves incredibly fast, stays close to its customers, and makes every resource count. Growing to more than 1,000 customers this quickly is remarkable, and we believe they’re just getting started.”
