What Archive Intel does

Archive Intel is an AI-powered communications compliance and archiving platform purpose-built for SEC and FINRA regulated financial services firms. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, the platform captures, reviews, archives, and retrieves regulated business communications across more than 20 channels including text messages from personal devices (iMessage, WhatsApp, Android SMS), email, LinkedIn, social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, StockTwits), chat platforms (Slack, Teams, Zoom), Bloomberg IB, and voice/SMS platforms (RingCentral, MyRepChat). Its core technical differentiator is Contextual AI, which evaluates communication risk in the context of SEC and FINRA recordkeeping rules rather than via keyword matching. All AI processing runs within a closed architecture with no client data routed through third-party models. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified, holds Official LinkedIn Regulatory Compliance Partner designation with direct API access, and operates WORM-compliant AWS storage meeting SEC Rule 17a-4 requirements. The product surface also includes an AI Marketing Review add-on for pre-publication content review against SEC Marketing Rule 206(4)-1 and FINRA Rule 2210, and a planned trade monitoring module plus AI agents disclosed in the Series A roadmap.

The business serves registered investment advisors, broker-dealers, and wealth management firms through a direct sales motion with inside sales for mid-market and enterprise field sales targeting larger institutions. Pricing is per-seat, per-connector with a $99/month base platform fee, $12/user/month for core access, $40/user/month for text archiving, and $500/month starting for AI Marketing Review; enterprise plans add API access, white labeling, and volume pricing on annual or multi-year contracts. Revenue is entirely subscription-recurring with no onboarding, retrieval, export, or storage fees up to 1TB. As of early 2026 the company had raised approximately $8.8 million in cumulative funding across a $1M seed (Social Leverage, May 2024), $1.5M (January 2025), and $6.3M Series A (Gray Line Partners, October 2025), with Garuda Ventures participating across rounds. Recent leadership additions from Nasdaq-owned eVestment in sales and enterprise sales signal an offensive move upmarket.
