Vendict Secures $10M Series A to Bring AI-Native Intelligence to Enterprise Compliance

As regulatory obligations mount and third-party risk becomes more costly to manage, enterprise compliance teams are facing unprecedented pressure. For many organizations, governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) remains a slow, documentation-heavy process built on legacy tools and a sheer workforce.

Vendict, a company that has quietly been reshaping the GRC space, is stepping in with a bold response and serious momentum behind it. The company just announced a $10 million Series A funding round, led by Moneta VC and JAL Ventures, with existing investors such as NFX, Cardumen Capital, Disruptive AI, and Cyber Club London doubling down. The round brings Vendict’s total funding to $20 million.

Outdated Workflows Meet a Modern Platform

“Most organizations still rely on people power to manage the growing burden,” the company explained, pointing to outdated workflows like “manually parsing frameworks, mapping controls, and managing documentation across audits and assessments.” These are precisely the bottlenecks Vendict’s platform is designed to eliminate.

Rather than simply automating old processes, Vendict reimagines them with an AI-native approach. “We built our platform on language models, knowledge graphs, and continuous feedback loops,” said Udi Cohen, Vendict Co-founder and CEO. “So it doesn’t just generate answers but also understands context, explains its reasoning, and delivers results executives can trust.”

From Tactical Burden to Strategic Advantage

The company is making compliance faster and smarter. “Teams must complete the work properly, not just tick boxes, thereby turning compliance into a strategic advantage,” Vendict emphasized. With Vendict's AI-native platform, teams can expect faster and more accurate risk assessments, saving time and resources. This distinction is increasingly important in a landscape where GRC teams are expected to keep pace with business, not just mitigate risk.

With over 100 customers onboard in under three years, Vendict is proving that speed and accuracy don’t have to be mutually exclusive. “Vendict is proving that compliance doesn’t have to be slow, complex, or expensive,” the company stated.

AI-Native by Design, Not Marketing

What separates Vendict from other platforms is the use of AI and how it is baked into the platform’s DNA. “Vendict was built AI-native from day one, with intelligence deeply woven into the architecture and not bolted on after the fact.” That design enables “real-time adaptability, contextual understanding, and traceability.”

Michael Keslassy, Vendict’s CTO, explained why that matters: “Our architecture doesn’t just consume data; it learns from user interaction patterns, approval workflows, and decision boundaries in real-time.” He added that this creates “a self-reinforcing system that becomes more precise and context-aware with every compliance cycle.”

Trusted by Practitioners and Investors Alike

Real-world users are seeing measurable returns. “Vendict’s automation eliminated the manual work involved in responding to these lengthy questionnaires,” said Raul Zayat Galante, CISO at Orca Security. “The platform understood our documentation and produced consistent, accurate responses every time, giving us back hours of our day to work on critical security-related tasks.”

That resonance is echoed on the investment side. “While competitors try to retrofit AI into legacy systems, Vendict is built from the ground up with intelligence at the core,” said Gonzalo Martínez de Azagra, Founder & General Partner at Cardumen Capital. “That native advantage shows up in their speed, accuracy, and customer wins.”

Moneta’s Adoram Gaash also noted the broader timing: “The compliance space is undergoing a generational shift, and Vendict is perfectly positioned to lead it.”

Network Effects and Ecosystem Impact

Beyond individual use cases, Vendict is laying the foundation for a flywheel effect across the industry. “We saw something rare in GRC: a two-sided network effect,” said Gigi Levy-Weiss, General Partner at NFX. “Buyers get faster, more accurate risk assessments, while vendors save time by reusing and refining their responses.”

Every new customer strengthens the platform, and every interaction improves its intelligence. That dynamic evolution is precisely what gives Vendict its edge in a market expected to add $44.22 billion in value by 2029.

Looking Ahead

Vendict’s funding is fuel for expansion. As the company scales, it’s setting a new standard for what enterprise compliance should look like: efficient, explainable, and deeply embedded in business strategy.

In an era where GRC can’t afford to lag behind innovation, Vendict is making it clear that compliance can be both smart and scalable, as long as AI leads the way.
