TechCrunch reported on 2026-09-17 that Comp AI closed a $34M Series A led by Roo Capital and Grand Ventures, bringing total funding to $37.5M. Founders Lewis Carhart, Claudio Fuentes and Mariano Fuentes are aiming agents at the work Vanta and Drata built their businesses on: drafting security policies, gathering audit evidence, continuously monitoring controls, and AI-driven penetration testing, with humans reviewing and approving agent-drafted output. The explicit pitch is that point-in-time audits miss the changes that AI agent deployments introduce after certification, so the compliance tool has to watch what other agents access and whether they stay in scope. Pricing and customer counts were not disclosed.
