The news: AI-powered enterprise compliance startup Haast has raised $17.2 million in Series A funding led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from DST Global Partners, Airtree, Aura Ventures and Black Sheep Capital.
The numbers: The funding brings Haast’s total capital raised to $24.4 million. The capital will be used to scale its agentic flows, accelerate product development and expand its global enterprise footprint.
The context: Sydney-based Haast builds compliance infrastructure designed to automate regulatory and policy review inside enterprise workflows.
With the use of AI agents, Haast embeds organisational policy, risk appetite and approval logic directly into day-to-day tools, enabling enterprise teams to automate high-volume compliance work.
What they said: "Enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between moving fast and staying compliant, and that trade-off is exactly what manual review processes currently force on teams,” said Haast co-founder and CEO Kunal Vankadara.
“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.”
