Certivity raised €13.3 million in a Series A financing round. The round was led by Almaz Capital and UVC Partners. Existing investors such as Earlybird X, High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), and Plug and Play participated again. With the fresh capital, Certivity plans to further develop its AI-powered compliance platform and accelerate market entry. The team also plans to expand into new industries and international markets.
Certivity was founded in 2021 by Nico Wägerle, Bogdan Bereczki, Jörg Ulmer and Sami Vaaraniemi. Regtech companies addresses a central problem in engineering: Compliance with regulatory requirements ties up a lot of engineers’ time – often in the form of manual research and fragmented documentation.
The solution of Certivity: a structured, AI-native SaaS platform, which automatically analyzes, interprets, and translates regulatory documents into product-relevant requirements. The platform supports companies in developing their products faster and in compliance with regulations.
Certivity: Platform for structured compliance processes
“With this funding, we are scaling our platform to become the leading solution in technical compliance – starting with the automotive industry. We are also scaling into other areas such as rail, medical devices, consumer goods, defense, aerospace, and more,”
says Nico Wägerle, CEO and co-founder of Certivity, and adds:
“We’re expanding our regulatory coverage, improving our AI, and deepening integration with common tools. This is transforming compliance from a costly requirement into a competitive advantage for our customers.”
The platform processes content from over 50 jurisdictions using its own digitization pipeline and a regulatory knowledge graph. AI modules analyze different versions of regulatory texts, extract technical requirements, and deliver them in a structured format. Deep integration with other tools enables a seamless and auditable compliance process.
Goal: Scale industrial compliance
“Certivity sets new standards for how compliance is integrated into product development. They solve a large and arduous problem for any company with regulatory requirements,”
explained Amanda Birkenholz, Principal at UVC Partners.
Aniruddha Nazre, General Partner at Almaz Capital, says:
“With some of the largest and most innovative OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers as customers, Certivity has established itself as a leading provider of regulatory compliance in the automotive industry. The goal of the financing is now to expand in two dimensions: 1. In addition to regulatory compliance, the company will also cover technical specifications and industry standards; 2. to expand into various industries such as general mechanical and plant engineering, aerospace, defense, and, in the long term, medical technology.”
In addition to technical development, Certivity is investing in training, onboarding, and customer loyalty – and is further expanding its engineering, product, and sales teams.
