Zurich-based Modulos, an AI governance platform, has raised CHF 8.7 million (~€9.3M) in a pre-Series A round, backed by existing investors.
The funding comes as enterprises prepare for the EU AI Act’s enforcement in August 2026, fueling demand for scalable, automated compliance solutions.
From manual oversight to intelligent AI governance
Founded in 2018, Modulos aims to replace traditional compliance checklists with an automated governance platform that supports enterprises across the full AI lifecycle. Its system brings together compliance officers, risk managers, data scientists, and business leaders under one unified platform — enabling continuous compliance with evolving frameworks like the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF.

AI agents for proactive monitoring and risk reduction
The platform uses Agentic AI to monitor governance workflows, flag risks, and adjust processes in real time. Features include intelligent risk management, audit tracking, and support for both cloud and hybrid deployments. Modulos helps companies avoid legal and reputational risks while maintaining agility in AI development.
Positioning for global scale as AI regulation tightens
“With global AI regulation accelerating, this is just the beginning,” said Kevin Schawinski, co-founder and CEO. “We’re building the infrastructure that will define how responsible AI gets deployed at scale.” The company’s vision is to become the go-to compliance layer for enterprises adopting generative AI and machine learning.
Targeting the enterprise as compliance becomes mission-critical
The funding will be used to scale product development, expand sales across Europe, and further integrate with MLOps, LLMOps, and internal audit infrastructures. Modulos is positioning itself as the enterprise standard for AI governance in a world where compliance is shifting from “nice-to-have” to business-critical.
