Germany-based AI compliance platform Kertos has closed a €14 million Series A to redefine AI-native compliance in Europe. The round was led by global fintech investor Portage, with continued participation from existing backers Pilabs, Redstone, 10x Founders, and seed+speed Ventures.
Kertos is a European compliance engine that pairs a powerful operating system with AI-native automation and on-demand expert support.

Kertos co-founder Dr. Kilian Schmidt said the company’s OS and AI agents now automate the entire compliance workload, turning compliance into a strategic lever for European businesses. He added that the platform delivers at scale, eliminating busywork, reducing costs, and providing the infrastructure Europe needs to achieve operational excellence and meet leading European and global frameworks.
