Certivity, a German AI-powered compliance platform for engineers, has secured €13.3 million in Series A funding.
The round was led by Almaz Capital and UVC Partners, with participation from existing investors Earlybird X, High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), and Plug and Play.
Making compliance a competitive advantage, not a burden
Founded in 2021, Certivity helps engineering teams automate technical compliance processes using an AI-driven SaaS platform. Engineers can manage legal, regulatory, and industry requirements directly within product workflows — replacing manual spreadsheets and document tracking.
From regulation reader to active engineering tool
The platform uses proprietary AI to convert regulatory documents into structured, machine-readable formats. It supports 50+ global jurisdictions, offers version tracking, and integrates with tools like Jama, Polarion, and DOORS. Engineers can generate, extract, and test requirements from complex legal texts — all within Certivity’s compliance workspace.
Expanding from auto to heavy machinery, aerospace, and beyond
Certivity initially focused on the automotive industry, where major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers already use the platform. With the new funding, the company plans to extend into heavy machinery, aerospace, defence, and consumer electronics, and to add support for technical specifications and broader standards beyond regulation.
Turning mandatory compliance into product velocity
“With this round, we’re scaling into a category-defining platform for technical compliance,” said CEO and co-founder Nico Waegerle. “We’re broadening regulation coverage, deepening integrations, and helping teams turn compliance into a strategic advantage.”
