Modulos raises CHF 8.7 million pre-series A to scale AI governance platform

Based in Zurich, Modulos transforms AI governance from manual compliance burden into automated, intelligent workflow management. The platform integrates across MLOps, LLMOps, and auditing infrastructures while using AI agents to monitor, adapt, and ensure alignment with evolving regulations including the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001.

“The AI governance market is moving from theoretical to mission-critical overnight,” said Kevin Schawinski, CEO and co-founder of Modulos. “Organizations can no longer treat compliance as an afterthought. Our platform gives them the infrastructure to scale responsible AI without sacrificing innovation velocity.”

Modulos is the first AI governance platform to receive product conformity certification for ISO 42001, validating its enterprise-grade capabilities. The platform enables organizations to manage compliance across multiple frameworks simultaneously through shared controls, dramatically reducing governance overhead while maintaining audit readiness.

The company has established itself as a trusted voice in global AI regulation through active participation in key regulatory bodies, including the EU AI Office, CEN/CENELEC European Standards Body, the AI Safety Institute at NIST, and most recently, the Spanish government’s high-risk AI sandbox program.

The pre-series A funding of CHF 8.7 million was supported by existing investors who have backed Modulos’ long-term vision since the early stages of EU AI Act development. With an industry-leading product, and the regulatory compliance market expanding rapidly, the company is well-positioned for its next growth phase. The funds will be used to advance and scale its compliance automation platform as global regulations take effect.

“This is just the beginning,” added Schawinski. “As the AI governance market scales globally, we’re building the infrastructure that will define how responsible AI gets built and deployed at enterprise scale.”
