Comp AI Raises $34M Series A to Build Agentic Platform for Security and Compliance
Cybersecurity startup Comp AI has raised a $34 million Series A funding round led by Roo Capital and Grand Ventures. The company, founded in January 2024 by Lewis Carhart (CEO), Claudio Fuentes (COO), and Mariano Fuentes (CTO), is developing an agentic platform to automate tedious security and compliance tasks using AI agents. The startup aims to help companies continuously monitor their compliance with controls such as SOC 2, while also enabling AI-powered penetration testing. The founders previously co-founded LeapAI but shut it down after struggling to find a sticky use case for enterprise clients. This experience informed the development of Comp AI’s platform, which focuses on specific security and compliance needs. The funding will support product expansion in an emerging market where companies are increasingly adopting autonomous systems that require real-time monitoring and validation. The company has raised $37.5 million to date.
