Its 'policy-to-proof' approach helps enterprises define AI policies, inventory and manage models, and automatically generate the evidence, monitoring, and audit trails that businesses, regulators, and consumers need to trust high-impact AI. Founded in 2019 by Anthony Habayeb, Andrew Clark, and Michael Herman, the company raised a $6M Series A in 2024 and has been recognized by Forrester as a Customer Favorite in AI governance.
Vectice
Vectice is a San Francisco-based enterprise software company that builds a 'Regulatory MLOps' platform to automate the documentation, governance, and collaborative review of AI/ML models. Using a lightweight autolog library, it captures model, data, and code lineage from tools like Python, Databricks, and Snowflake, then assembles audit-ready model development and validation documents mapped to regulatory frameworks such as SR 11-7, the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, and NIST AI. Founded in 2020 and backed by $15.6M in seed and Series A funding, Vectice targets banks, insurers, and other heavily regulated enterprises that need to scale AI without drowning in compliance paperwork.
