Delve

We just posted a dozen open positions at Delve. But none of them are really what they look like.   —   Take Jayu Patel. Since joining the team as a Founding Customer Engineer, he's gotten full ownership of all things tech ops and is building out AI-native CS infrastructure to support 500+ customers.   Or Arda Akman. He came in thinking he'd do backend work. Today he's managing a team and working with compliance mappings to architect our entire product.   Then there's Taher Lokhandwala, who came in to help us become a demo-booking engine. Now he's doing compliance, customer success, product, and much more. —   Because we're lean, everyone gets to tap into different parts of the business.   Taher understands sales, so his marketing hits different.   Arda knows compliance inside and out, so his technical decisions are more strategic.   —   We don't hire to fill roles, we hire exceptional people. The way we see it every person is a vector on their own path, and so is Delve. When those vectors align, we talk next steps. If they don't, we'll help you find your next career jump. It's never about what Delve wants - it's about finding where your goals and ours intersect. —   We just raised $32M and we're hiring fast for a lot of positions.    → Applied AI Engineer → Full Stack Engineer → Frontend Engineer → Backend Engineer → DevOps Engineer → Accounting Executive → CS Manager → Senior GRC Specialist → Support Engineer (Or you can create your own role.) If you want to join the team, I’m dropping a link in the comments.

Delve raises $32 million at $300 million valuation to reinvent compliance with AI agents At just 21 years old, MIT dropouts Karun Kaushik and Selin Kocalar have led their AI compliance startup, Delve, to one of the most remarkable early-stage raises of the year. Only six months after announcing a $3 million seed round, Delve has now closed a $32 million Series A at a $300 million valuation—marking a 10x jump in valuation and signaling strong conviction from the market. The round was led by Insight Partners, with participation from CISOs Connect™ at Fortune 500 companies. Delve automates regulatory #compliance through AI agents that integrate into a company’s workflow, replacing hundreds of hours of manual tasks with real-time, intelligent operations. Since January, Delve has grown its client base from 100 to over 500, including fast-scaling AI unicorns such as Lovable, Bland, and Wispr Flow. Initially focused on HIPAA compliance for the healthcare sector, Delve quickly expanded into frameworks like SOC 2, PCI, GDPR, and ISO, becoming a foundational tool for high-growth companies navigating complex regulations. Founded in 2023 after a pivot from medical AI tools, Delve emerged from Y Combinator and has been backed by General Catalyst, FundersClub, Soma Capital, and now Insight Partners, which sees the company’s mission as critical to modernizing the entire enterprise backbone—from compliance to cybersecurity, risk, and internal governance.

Congrats team! Karun Kaushik Selin Kocalar Excited to be a part of your journey since YC

Huge congratulations to our friends at Delve on their Series A fundraise! 🎉   On Tuesday, we had the opportunity to surprise the Delve team in San Francisco with boxes of fresh hot cookies. It was amazing to meet everyone in person and to see their growth and execution towards their vision—it's clear why they're changing the compliance space.   Since we started working with Delve back in January, we consolidated their entire GTM stack into Unify, eliminating the need for separate prospecting, enrichment, sequencing, and intent tools.   And in the first 6 weeks, they achieved: • 10X pipeline growth • 24+ hours saved per month on warm outreach • 17 opportunities created   Their Founding Growth Lead, Taher Lokhandwala, told us: "From week one, Unify's impact on pipeline growth has been substantial. We're capitalizing on more interest than ever before without drowning in technical debt. It's perfect."   We're thrilled to be part of Delve's growth journey. With their Series A funding and Unify powering their GTM, we can't wait to see what they accomplish next.   Congrats again to the entire Delve team! 🚀

Congrats! Founded earlier this year by Massachusetts Institute of Technology dropouts Karun Kaushik and Selin Kocalar, Delve was launched with a belief that compliance—long considered a drain on speed and innovation—could be rebuilt around AI-native architecture. Rather than relying on checklists or template generators, Delve’s agents act as persistent teammates within organizations, constantly scanning configurations, pulling audit evidence, updating policies, and alerting teams when gaps appear. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/euRdPNvf cc: Dave Rodriguez, Michael Genaro, Erik Linask, Joe Fabiano, Maureen Gambino

Two interesting compliance/SOC2 financings this week 1) Vanta - $150M raise at $4.15B valuation, 12k+ customers. Total raise $504M 2) Delve - $32M Series A raised at $300M, 500 customers, 5x growth in 6 months, automates regulatory compliance with AI agents Vanta, Drata digitized the otherwise manual data collection (with tailwinds from cloud as all small customers predominantly use IaaS/SaaS and modern development methods) Delve is using AI to eliminate hundreds of hours of manual processes which is the otherwise of the equation “Compliance frameworks are standardized. Businesses aren’t,” says CEO Kaushik. “That mismatch is why traditional software breaks down and teams fall back to duct-taped workflows across email, Slack, and shared drives.” Delve replaces that busywork with AI agents that run in the background (after integrating with customers’ tools) like internal team members. These agents collect evidence, write reports, update audit logs, and track configuration changes across fragmented systems, automating compliance workflows in real time.

Congratulations to Karun Kaushik, Selin Kocalar and the entire Delve team on this milestone. Karun & Selin have built a powerful Agentic platform that reimagines complex Compliance workflows and fundamentally shift the value equation for customers. They builds fast, ships fast and scales fast all with a small ridiculously talented team. Their absolute focus on customer experience and product & operational excellence is an inspiration. We at Insight Partners are thrilled to part of the journey with Karun & Selin as they scale Delve. Onwards & upwards ! #AI #AIAgents #Compliance #Enterprise

If this video looks familiar, let's chat. Since starting Delve, we've helped 100s of companies close contracts with enterprises like Walmart, Microsoft, Chase, and OpenAI. The secret lies in compliance. — Every big contract comes with a long security and compliance review. It’s also where many companies lose the deal - either because they’re not compliant or can’t prove they meet enterprise security requirements. At Delve, we use AI to automate compliance and build lasting security, without the hundreds of hours of manual work. So that after months of negotiation, you don't lose your biggest enterprise deal at the last mile because of compliance. — If you want to join companies like Lovable, Bland, Wispr Flow, Cluely, Browser Use, and 11x using Delve to automate compliance, unlock revenue, and scale faster, let's chat.

Delve has raised $32M Series A at a $300M valuation to scale its AI-powered compliance automation platform. Founded by Massachusetts Institute of Technology alums Karun Kaushik and Selin Kocalar, Delve replaces manual audit prep with domain-specific AI agents for HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI, and GDPR. Backed by Insight Partners and Fortune 500 CISOs, the team is now expanding into risk, cybersecurity, and governance. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/ehGZxcqH #AI #ComplianceTech #AuditAutomation #SeriesAFunding #YCAlum #DelveAI Sazzad Islam Isaiah de la Fuente Kartik Donepudi Taher Lokhandwala Arda Akman Jayu Patel Khalil Patiwala Clark Foy Tautik Agrahari Tim Littrell Win Tongtawee
