Modulos raises €9.3M to scale AI governance platform

Swiss AI governance startup Modulos has secured CHF 8.7 million (~€9.3M) in pre-Series A funding, bringing total funding to CHF 16.4 million as the Zürich-based company scales its platform to meet rapidly expanding demand for automated AI compliance ahead of the EU AI Act's August 2026 enforcement deadline.

Founded in 2018 by Kevin Schawinski and team, Modulos addresses the challenge of AI governance as organizations worldwide face imminent regulatory compliance requirements.

The platform transforms AI governance from manual compliance burden into automated, intelligent workflow management, integrating across MLOps, LLMOps, and auditing infrastructures while using AI agents to monitor, adapt, and ensure alignment with evolving regulations including the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001.

Central to Modulos' breakthrough is their Agentic AI capabilities that automate routine compliance tasks and enable proactive risk management throughout the AI lifecycle. The platform unifies compliance officers, data scientists, risk managers, and business users in a collaborative environment, providing structured governance across AI development, deployment, and monitoring phases while generating audit-ready reports and documentation.

"The AI governance market is moving from theoretical to mission-critical overnight," said Kevin Schawinski. Organizations can no longer treat compliance as an afterthought as regulatory frameworks become enforceable, particularly with the EU AI Act's approaching deadline requiring systematic risk management and transparency measures for AI systems.

With intelligent agents continuously monitoring compliance, recommending evidence collection, and discovering AI resources, Modulos positions itself as essential infrastructure for responsible AI development at enterprise scale.
