Vigilant AI has raised £585,000 in pre-seed funding.
The Derby-based company develops AI tools for regulated businesses. Many enterprises see AI's potential but struggle with compliance. They must prove every AI-driven action follows company policy, creating a significant trust gap. Vigilant AI.ai solves this with its "AI Teammates". These tools embed generative AI directly into a company's existing workflows. The platform operates with real-time compliance controls. It also generates a permanent, unchangeable audit trail for every action taken. This approach enforces rules as work happens. AI Teammates integrate natively with common tools like Slack. This avoids the need for another standalone application and meets employees where they already work. Domain experts can build and manage their own teammates without deep IT involvement. This ensures the tools remain practical and responsive to business needs.
The funding round was led by Haatch. It also included capital from the East Midlands Combined County Authority and the British Business Bank.
