Vigilant AI develops compliance software designed to help regulated firms deploy generative artificial intelligence securely and with real-time governance.
Vigilant AI has raised £585k in pre-seed funding led by Haatch, with participation from the East Midlands Combined Authority and the British Business Bank. The capital will support engineering recruitment, go-to-market efforts, and product refinement as the startup converts pilot projects into revenue-generating operations.
The company addresses compliance challenges in regulated industries by providing artificial intelligence tools equipped with real-time guardrails and audit logs. The founding team aims to help financial-services firms and other regulated businesses adopt generative technology safely.
Haatch led the investment round on account of the startup addressing enterprise adoption barriers. Additional support from regional and national public-backed entities highlights the strategic importance of governance technology.
