Sydney-based RegTech startup Haast has raised $6m in seed funding to expand its AI-powered compliance platform, with plans to enter the US market already underway.
The round was led by Airtree, with support from defy.vc, Aura Ventures and Black Sheep Capital. It follows a $1.2m pre-seed raise in 2023.
Founded in 2022, Haast uses large language models to automate marketing and content compliance for major enterprises. The platform is designed to cut manual review time by up to 80% and speed up the go-live process, while continuously scanning for regulatory risks.
The company has attracted major clients including Telstra and Aviva, and is positioning its platform as a solution to the growing compliance burden created by AI-generated content.
Zurich Australia & New Zealand head of regulatory change Wessel van Keulen said, “Haast represents the future of compliance… We’re excited to see how their platform will continue to transform compliance workflows for the better.”
Haast co-founder Kunal Vankadara said the funding will support team growth and US expansion. “This is just the beginning,” he said.
