Certivity receives 13.3 million euros for scaling

The Munich-based RegTech startup Certivity has raised 13.3 million euros in a Series A financing round. The round is led by Almaz Capital and UVC Partners, accompanied by existing investors Earlybird X, High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) and Plug and Play.

The capital will be used to scale the AI-based platform, which digitizes, automates and structures technical compliance processes in companies.

Compliance becomes a competitive advantage

Founded in 2021 by Nico Waegerle, Bogdan Bereczki, Jörg Ulmer and Sami Vaaraniemi, Certivity addresses a fundamental problem in engineering: the immense effort involved in manual work with fragmented regulatory requirements. In some industries, engineers spend up to 50% of their time interpreting legal documents.

Certivity redefines how technical compliance is thought of - efficiently, scalably, future-proof. At a time when regulation is becoming the norm, their solution strikes a chord.

Certivity's AI-native SaaS platform transforms these unstructured texts into machine-readable, organized information. In this way, requirements are analyzed, continuously updated and directly integrated into existing development processes. The vision: to make compliance no longer a burden, but a structured, scalable component of technical innovation.

Launch in the automotive industry

Certivity intends to use the fresh capital to accelerate product development, open up new markets and expand the platform to other sectors. In addition to the automotive industry, the focus is on sectors such as medical technology, rail technology, aerospace, defense and consumer goods.

We are transforming compliance from a cost driver into a strategic advantage. Our AI is getting better, our regulatory coverage broader - and our integration deeper.

Nico Waegerle, CEO Certivity

Real-time data, traceability and tool integration

At the heart of the platform is a digitalization pipeline that records regulations from over 50 jurisdictions in a structured manner and organizes them via a regulatory knowledge graph. This creates complete traceability: changes to legislation can be tracked in real time, while changes to regulatory texts are consolidated, classified and translated into technical requirements with the help of AI.

Certivity integrates seamlessly with tools such as Jama, Polarion, DOORS and others. This turns compliance documentation into an end-to-end, auditable part of the development process.
