Vigilant AI.ai provides generative artificial intelligence assistants designed to integrate into workflows for regulated enterprises while maintaining compliance controls. The firm is based in Derby.
Vigilant AI.ai has secured £585k in pre-seed funding led by Haatch. The capital injection incorporates backing from three separate Haatch-managed vehicles, including resources associated with the East Midlands Combined County Authority and the British Business Bank.
The Derby-based startup provides artificial intelligence teammates equipped with real-time guardrails and immutable audit trails, addressing compliance hurdles in regulated industries. The proceeds will be directed towards team expansion, product development, and converting active pilots into commercial deployments.
The investment allows the platform to advance its commercial strategy across the financial sector and other strict regulatory environments.
From the founder
"As a trusted advisor to financial services boards, I kept seeing the same pattern: teams got excited about the potential of generative AI but then hit a wall when asked about governance and compliance. We founded Vigilant AI.ai because the toolset to answer those questions simply didn’t exist. Our platform enables people in the business to onboard AI Teammates where work happens whilst real-time guardrails and audit logs protect and govern. Customers gain AI productivity at speed, with regulatory compliant trust."
Mark Wood
Co-founder and CTO at Vigilant AI.ai
Investor perspective
"We back founders solving deep, universal pains in B2B SaaS. Vigilant AI.ai tackles the biggest blocker to enterprise GenAI adoption: provable trust. Their real-time compliance layer is exactly what our fintech and financial-services network has been asking for."
