What Haast does

Haast is an AI-powered compliance software company that automates marketing and regulated-content review for enterprises operating in highly regulated industries. Its platform combines three modules: (1) pre-publish content compliance review for marketing, advertising, and regulated documents; (2) continuous live monitoring of websites, social media, and partner/reseller channels for compliance drift; and (3) a beta regulatory horizon-scanning capability that flags how new rules affect existing content. At its core, Haast deploys purpose-trained, domain-specific LLM-based agents configured per customer against regulatory frameworks (e.g., FINRA, FTC, FCA, ASIC, ACCC, EU AI Act) and tuned to each organization's risk tolerance via attorney-led implementation and ongoing feedback loops. The product is multimodal, processing text, image, video, and audio inputs, and is integrated natively into enterprise content tools including Google Docs (via a Workspace Marketplace add-on), Microsoft Word, Figma, Monday.com, and Adobe Workfront.

Haast monetizes primarily through enterprise SaaS subscriptions with quote-based, multi-year contracts complemented by professional services for bespoke implementation performed by an in-house legal team. Acquisition blends a high-touch enterprise field-sales motion (demos, RFPs within 48 hours, lawyer-led onboarding) with bottom-of-funnel PLG entry points such as a Marketing Compliance ROI Calculator and a free live-website compliance scan. Disclosed customers include Zurich Insurance, Telstra, Aviva, Future Super, Mate, and Equity Trustees, spanning financial services, insurance, telecommunications, and superannuation. The company reports 4.5x revenue growth over the prior 12 months with zero customer churn.

Founded in 2023 in Sydney by Kunal Vankadara (ex-Australian Government policy adviser, ex-BCG) and Liam King (ex-Deloitte, ANU ML background), Haast has raised approximately $17M across three rounds — an oversubscribed pre-seed led by Aura Ventures in 2023, an AUD $6M seed led by Airtree in May 2025, and a USD $12M Series A led by Peak XV Partners in April 2026. The legal entity is Haast Pty Ltd (Australia), operational headquarters is in New York, and the company maintains offices in Utah, London, Amsterdam, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Philippines. Haast holds ISO 27001 and SOC2 Type II certifications and won the 2024 Zurich Innovation Championship.

Core offering

Haast provides an AI-powered compliance platform that automates pre-publish marketing and regulated content review, continuously monitors live digital footprints across websites and social channels, and tracks regulatory changes (horizon scanning). The platform uses purpose-trained AI agents calibrated to each organization's internal policies and risk tolerance, with lawyer-led implementation and native integrations into existing content tools.

Product overview

Haast is a single unified AI compliance platform (marketed as "the AI operating system for compliance") with a core engine and a set of integrated modules and capabilities layered on top. The core Haast AI Compliance Platform anchors three primary product surfaces: (1) Marketing & Regulated Content Compliance for pre-publish AI review of marketing and regulated content; (2) Website & Social Media Scan (Live Monitoring) for continuous, real-time monitoring of owned and partner digital channels; and (3) Regulatory Horizon Scan (Beta) for tracking regulatory change and its impact on content. These are supported by the Haast Compliance Agents Ecosystem of purpose-built AI agents, an Asset Review Module used to scan regulated documents against encoded custom rules (e.g., over 80 rules configured by Equity Trustees), an emerging Knowledge Centre for live gap detection across content repositories, and a pilot Call Centre Intelligence capability for analysing call transcripts. Together, the core platform, modules, and agents provide pre-publish review, live monitoring, and regulatory horizon scanning within the customer's existing content workflows.
