Barcelona-based regulatory technology company Kalipso has raised $3.2 million in funding, led by Varsity with participation from Lanai Ventures, Plug and Play Tech Center, Kima Ventures, and Vento.
- Founded in 2025 by Pierre Ferran and Virginia Debernardi, Kalipso is building an AI-powered regulatory compliance operating system for regulated businesses.
- The platform continuously monitors regulatory developments across multiple jurisdictions, determines which obligations apply to each organisation, maps them to internal policies, identifies compliance gaps, and generates implementation-ready remediation steps with full regulatory traceability.
- It aggregates updates from hundreds of official regulatory sources and uses AI to prioritise and interpret changes into structured obligations, enabling compliance teams to manage requirements within a single collaborative workspace.
“Compliance teams have been stitching together disconnected tools for too long. Kalipso closes that gap, taking organisations from regulatory change to implementing policies, controls and procedures inside a single system. Teams don't need another alert feed or another long report. They need infrastructure that turns regulation into action, and the peace of mind of knowing they are compliant," explains Virginia Debernardi, co-founder and COO of Kalipso.
- Its Regulatory Radar system tracks more than 100 sources across 40+ jurisdictions and processes thousands of regulatory updates daily.
Details of the deal
- With the new capital, Kalipso plans to expand its team, enhance product capabilities, and scale across key European markets including the UK, France, Spain, Italy, and the Benelux region.
