We’re thrilled to share that Zania has raised an $18M Series A to accelerate our mission: building the first AI-native platform for enterprise risk and compliance. The round was led by NEA, with participation from Menlo Ventures, Anthropic’s Anthology Fund, and our existing investors.

Changing Shape of Risk
  • Risk is now dynamic, contextual, and shaped by AI — but compliance hasn’t kept up.

  • Enterprises move fast — adopting AI, scaling vendors, shipping products — while stuck with outdated, manual GRC tools.

  • Threats like model injection, data leakage, and hallucinations aren’t caught by static checklists or retroactive audits.

  • GRC teams and leading audit firms have been underserved — boxed into manual work instead of enabling smarter risk-taking.

  • Our team has led AI and security at Microsoft, Airbnb, Instacart, and Brex — we’ve lived both the pain and the opportunity.

Our Mission

At  Zania we believe every enterprise will need AI-native risk infrastructure to thrive in the decade ahead — and we intend to define that category. Our vision is to build the core trust layer for the enterprise — not just faster audits, but foundational systems that evolve with the threats.

Future of Enterprise Compliance & Risk Management
  • Zania is the Autonomous Enterprise Agent Platform — an AI-native infrastructure layer that learns your business and acts on your behalf.

  • We serve leading enterprises like Netflix and Plaid across IT risk, third-party risk, and AI governance workflows.

  • Our agents are contextual, explainable, and designed to handle real-world ambiguity — not just structured forms.Think of it as your new risk copilot: always on, continuously learning, and built to move at the speed of your business.

  • Highlight upcoming products – TPRM, integrations etc. 

What’s Next 
  • Grateful to our customers — Netflix, Plaid, and others — for building with us.

  • Thank you to our investors — NEA, Menlo, and Anthropic’s Anthology Fund — for backing our vision.
