Leela raises $4.6M seed for AI compliance agents

Leela raised a $4.6M seed round co-led by Array Ventures and Female Founders Fund, with participation from Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, The Council Capital and Apprentis Ventures. The startup builds AI agents that carry out compliance work for regulated financial businesses. Leela's RegLang language ties each regulatory requirement to the underlying tasks and evidence. The company says its agents already handle fraud and AML reviews and customer complaints, and draft suspicious activity reports for human review; one early customer's 40 policies became 262 actionable obligations. Leela charges a monthly fee priced on the work done within a customer's compliance program, and says companies can buy a single self-executing policy and stack more as they grow. It has launched a self-service product for buying and stacking policies.
