Haast, an AI-powered compliance platform, has raised US$12 million in its Series A funding round. The round was led by Peak XV Partners, with support from DST Global Partners, Airtree, Aura Ventures, and Black Sheep Capital. With this, the company’s total funding has reached US$17.05 million.
The company plans to use this money to grow its business, improve its products, and expand to more global enterprise customers. It will also focus on scaling its advanced AI-driven workflows to make compliance processes faster and easier.
As companies create more content and use AI more in marketing, product, and sales, manual review processes are becoming a big problem. Since creating content is now very cheap and optimizing for AI search is important, the amount of content has increased 8 to 10 times.
Because of this rapid growth, legal and compliance teams are struggling to keep up. They are finding it hard to review and manage all the content quickly enough.
“Enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between moving fast and staying compliant, and that tradeoff is exactly what manual review processes currently force on teams,” said Kunal Vankadara, cofounder and CEO of Haast. “We built Haast to transform compliance from a generic assistive checkpoint into an intelligent, automated engine embedded directly within global enterprises. By embedding policy and risk standards directly into the fabric of every workflow, we empower teams to move at AI speed with confidence, unlocking real efficiency and output gains without ever compromising governance.”
“We are seeing a major shift across large enterprises: a content explosion driven by LLMs alongside an increasingly complex regulatory landscape,” said Rohit Agarwal, Managing Director at Peak XV Partners. “In a world where every screen and ad is personalized, manual review is no longer just slow, it’s impossible. Haast is solving a multi-billion dollar bottleneck by turning compliance into an automated enabler. They are helping the world’s leading brands unlock the full potential of GenAI without the looming threat of regulatory friction or brand damage. We are excited to partner with Haast as they reinvent AI-native compliance.”
Founded in 2023 by Kunal Vankadara, Jason Watling and Liam King, Haast is a tech company that uses AI to help businesses manage compliance more easily. It uses advanced language models (LLMs) to automate tasks making it faster for marketing, legal, and compliance teams to review and approve content while reducing risks.
The company is based in New York and also has offices in San Francisco and Sydney, Australia. It is supported by well-known investors like Peak XV Partners, DST Global Partners, Airtree, Aura Ventures, and Black Sheep Capital.
