[RELEASE] San Francisco, CA — 07/22/2025 0900 PST

Today, Delve announced a $32M Series A at a $300M valuation led by Insight Partners, with participation from CISOs at Fortune 500 companies. The funding accelerates Delve's mission to eliminate compliance busywork with AI agents that run compliance operations behind the scenes.

Since raising $3.3M in 2024, Delve has grown rapidly to serve 500+ companies across dozens of compliance frameworks, including some of the fastest-growing AI startups like Lovable, Bland, and Wispr Flow. The platform has helped customers get compliant in days, build security that lasts, and close deals faster—without months of busywork.

The $40 Billion Copy-Paste Problem

Compliance touches nearly every part of how a company operates, from launching products to closing enterprise deals. But instead of driving growth, the manual work behind compliance has become a bottleneck.

Across the US and EU, over 4 million people spend their days taking screenshots, filling out spreadsheets, and filing documents. It's $40 billion in copying, pasting, and administrative tasks that pull teams away from building and innovating.

AI Makes it Possible to Automate Compliance Busywork, Unlike Traditional Software

Traditional compliance tools weren’t built for how modern companies actually operate. They rely on rigid templates, static checklists, and manual input, slowing down fast-moving teams and creating operational drag at exactly the moments when speed matters most.

“Compliance frameworks are standardized. Businesses aren’t,” says Delve CEO Karun Kaushik. “That mismatch is why traditional software breaks down and teams fall back to duct-taped workflows across email, Slack, and shared drives.”

Delve takes an AI-native approach to solve that. Its platform gives companies AI agents that act like part of the team—understanding company context, navigating fragmented systems, and handling complex compliance tasks from start to finish. Rather than layering AI on top of legacy workflows, Delve was built from the ground up by AI researchers from MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley to automate the work that typically drains hundreds of hours.

“We’re not just streamlining compliance, we’re helping businesses grow faster,” says Delve COO Selin Kocalar. “Getting compliant faster unblocks deals, and eliminating the busywork lets teams focus on what actually drives the business forward.”

Scaling AI-Native Compliance with $32M Series A

With its $32M Series A, Delve is deepening its AI capabilities, expanding the team to accelerate growth, and launching support for even more compliance frameworks.

“AI is fundamentally transforming how companies operate, yet compliance is still being managed like it's the pre-AI era,” said Praveen Akkiraju, Managing Director at Insight Partners. “Since compliance touches every part of how a business runs, from scaling operations to closing deals to building customer trust, modernizing this function will modernize the entire organization. That's what makes Delve's approach so important. They're not just transforming compliance, they're transforming how companies operate at their core.”
