We've raised $6M in seed funding from Airtree, defy.vc, Aura Ventures, Black Sheep Capital and we're expanding to the US! Rather than just celebrating, we're doubling down on our mission to redefine compliance and become THE AI compliance platform for the world's largest organisations. If you don't know who Haast is, we're the company transforming how regulated businesses do compliance. What makes compliance so challenging isn't just the repetitive tasks - it's the unique context and risk tolerance of each organisation that requires deep institutional knowledge. This is why it's been so resistant to automation... until now. Our AI-powered platform doesn't just assist with compliance - it completely automates these mission-critical processes. Starting with regulatory review of marketing and public content, we're one of the few AI companies in Australia entirely replacing a mission-critical process. The results: 80% automation of manual reviews, compliant content live 3x faster, and continuous risk monitoring across all channels. Our laser focus on one use case at a time enables us to deliver immediate value from day one. Customers see ROI within weeks, not months or years. The key to our success is our AI's ability to learn and embed the specific risk tolerance and compliance context of each organisation. Our system doesn't follow rigid rules - it thinks like your most experienced compliance officers, adapting to your unique regulatory environment. In just the last year we've: ·      Partnered with enterprise leaders like Telstra, Zurich and Aviva + many more ·      Reduced manual review workloads by up to 80% (in some cases, eliminated them entirely) ·      Built one of the first LLM deployments for comprehensive compliance automation When I speak with customers, here's why they choose Haast: 1.    Contextual learning – Our AI replicates how a 5th-year compliance officer thinks about your risk 2.    Complete automation – End-to-end replacement of manual review processes 3.    Focused execution – By mastering content compliance first, we deliver immediate ROI while building toward a comprehensive compliance platform This funding will accelerate our team growth, US expansion, and further development of our agents and platform. We're hiring! We're looking for exceptional talent to join us on this journey. Whether you're passionate about AI, compliance, or building category-defining products, we want to hear from you.
