Seattle-based Certivo has secured $4 million in seed funding to enhance its AI-driven platform focused on automating supply chain compliance processes. This latest investment, led by Suffolk Technologies from Boston, brings the startup's total funding to $6 million.
Founded in 2024, Certivo aims to revolutionize compliance by replacing traditional manual methods with an innovative approach termed “AI-native compliance automation.” The company’s platform features a Compliance System of Record, operated by an AI agent named CORA, which streamlines the collection and validation of supplier documentation and tracks regulatory changes.
Targeting manufacturers and businesses in the construction sector, Certivo assists clients in adapting to regulatory shifts concerning PFAS, sustainability, and supply chain transparency. The startup's team consists of 17 employees and is led by Kunal Chopra, who has held executive positions at various tech companies, including Microsoft and Amazon.
While Certivo has declined to disclose specific customer or revenue figures, it positions itself among a growing number of startups leveraging AI for compliance tasks, similar to Seattle's Signify, which raised $2.1 million earlier this year.
