Haast, an AI-powered enterprise compliance engine founded in 2023, has closed a $12m Series A funding round that brings its total US capital raised to $17.05m.
The round was led by Peak XV Partners, with DST Global Partners, Airtree, Aura Ventures, and Black Sheep Capital also participating. Proceeds will be directed towards scaling its agentic workflows, accelerating product development, and broadening the company’s global enterprise presence.
Haast argues that as AI adoption accelerates across marketing, product, and go-to-market functions, corporate content volumes have surged by between 8x and 10x, leaving legal and compliance teams unable to keep pace.
The company’s own research indicates that compliance and legal professionals spend 70% of their time on manual, repetitive, or otherwise automatable tasks, creating significant delays across organisations.
Rather than offering a point solution or general-purpose assistant, Haast positions itself as infrastructure-level software, embedding organisational policy, risk appetite, and approval logic directly into existing enterprise tools and day-to-day workflows. This enables teams to manage high-volume compliance work at global, federal, and state scale without sacrificing speed.
Founded in 2023 and headquartered in New York — with additional offices in San Francisco and Sydney — Haast specialises in using large language models (LLMs) to automate and modernise enterprise compliance. Its platform is designed to connect frontline teams such as content marketers with review functions, providing AI interpretability and a strict, unalterable audit trail throughout.
The company reports it has achieved 4.5x revenue growth over the past 12 months and has recorded zero customer churn, with notable traction among Fortune 500 clients.
Haast co-founder and CEO Kunal Vankadara said, “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.
“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.”
Peak XV Partners managing director Rohit Agarwal said, “We are seeing a major shift across large enterprises: a content explosion driven by LLMs alongside an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
“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.”
