Founded: 2023

Team size: 5

About

Kobalt has built an AI copilot to automate manual risk and compliance operations for fintechs and banks. Given a third party contracts and documentation, Kobalt’s reasoning engine ingests internal policies and procedures, legal commitments, past privacy and compliance assessments, and syncs with external legislation to instantly auto-surface and track risks. We're helping community/regional/sponsor banks increase revenue and scale their partnership and vendor volume, and we're helping fintechs conduct their partner diligence in 1/10 the time, all without needing to increase headcount.
