AI agents in financial services handle thousands of customer interactions daily, but manual compliance reviews cannot scale with rising regulatory scrutiny across jurisdictions like the EU AI Act and MiFID2. Alinia has raised $7.5M in seed funding to build compliance infrastructure that embeds real-time auditing, guardrails, and risk controls directly into AI workflows, ensuring regulatory adherence without deployment delays.

The Barcelona and New York-based startup closed the round led by Mouro Capital (Santander’s corporate VC), with participation from Raise Ventures, Speedinvest, and Precursor Ventures. This strategic backing from financial services infrastructure validates the compliance bottleneck across regulated industries deploying autonomous AI systems.

Peer AI raised $12.1 million to transform the regulatory documentation bottleneck that adds an average 435 days to drug approval timelines, with specialized AI agents reducing document drafting time by up to 94% while maintaining compliance oversight.

The Series A round led by Flare Capital Partners and SignalFire addresses a critical infrastructure gap in pharmaceutical development, where manual regulatory documentation processes require over 200,000 pages across 1,500+ unique documents per drug approval—contributing to a 75% FDA submission rejection rate due to quality issues.
