This investment will not only accelerate our cutting edge natural language processing and entity resolution technologies but also positions us at the forefront of a fundamental shift in compliance. We are transforming due diligence from a time-consuming, manual process into an efficient, precise, and comprehensive solution. Xapien is setting new standards in compliance, helping organisations worldwide to navigate complex regulatory environments with ease and confidence, ultimately creating better business practices and stronger ethical standards."
The round was jointly led by Mercia Ventures and Smedvig Ventures to power product development and international growth.
"It is widely accepted that human error is the most prevalent vector for cyber-attacks and is poorly protected against by ineffective training programmes.
