Alinia AI has raised a $7.5 million seed round led by Mouro Capital, with backing from Raise Seed For Good, Speedinvest, and Precursor Ventures. The company says the funding will be used to scale the development of its enterprise-grade Guardrails API and AI Compliance Platform, technology designed to give regulated institutions a reliable way to manage and supervise generative AI systems at speed.
According to the firm, its platform introduces real-time auditing, policy enforcement, and risk management directly into AI workflows, allowing organisations to deploy AI tools without losing oversight. Alinia AI is already working with major players in the sector, including Santander Group and U.S.-based fintech Origin Financial.
The company’s long-term vision is to build a landscape where compliance is fully integrated into autonomous systems and shaped by human specialists. By doing so, it hopes to enable business and compliance teams to act as central drivers in the deployment of AI assistants across high-stakes environments.
The growing shift towards AI-powered expert assistants is creating a new set of regulatory challenges within financial services. These systems are increasingly used to act as debt managers, financial assistants, and wealth advisors, handling large volumes of user interactions that were previously managed by trained professionals. Alinia AI highlights that a single AI investment assistant can now deal with up to 10,000 users per day, offering individualised recommendations driven by both proprietary and user data.
However, the company notes that regulatory exposure rises in parallel with these efficiency gains. Human-led teams cannot feasibly review the thousands of AI interactions generated daily, at a time when regulators are stepping up their scrutiny of automated decision-making.
Ariadna Font Llitjós, Co-founder & CEO of Alinia, said: “As global spending on generative AI approaches $644 billion by 2025 (Gartner), adoption in regulated industries is hitting the compliance wall. Alinia is building the safe gateway that gives compliance teams centralized visibility and control across the enterprise.”
Carlos Muñoz Ferrandis, Co-founder & COO, added: “Generic guardrails miss nuanced violations tied to business realities in specific jurisdictions. Detecting and constraining specific types of AI output, such as investment advice under EU Delegated Regulation 2017/565 & ESMA Guidelines, requires precision and contextual understanding.”
The company also shared a statement on LinkedIn announcing the round:
“Thrilled to announce Alinia AI’s $7.5M Seed round to become the compliance infrastructure of high stake AI Agents
AI Agents are transforming regulated services, such as finance, but as they scale to tens of thousands of daily interactions, regulatory exposure grows exponentially — and manual oversight can’t keep up.
At Alinia, we envision a future where compliance is encoded in any autonomous system, empowering human experts to steer and control AI in the most critical scenarios.
We are on a mission to transform the way AI compliance works. Our regulatory models power Alinia’s compliance platform, enabling automated auditing, real-time guardrails, and red teaming. We give enterprises seeking to deploy powerful AI Assistants in delicate scenarios the power to control AI at full scale. Our platform is already trusted by financial leaders to power compliant, customer-first AI experiences at scale.”
The company says the fresh capital will accelerate its progress as demand for transparent and accountable AI tools continues to rise across regulated markets.
