Kaplaix
Seed Round Open — Q2 2026

The Infrastructure Layer Behind AI Compliance

Kaplaix is the first platform to turn AI governance into verifiable, cryptographic proof. With EU AI Act enforcement starting August 2026, we hold an 18-month regulatory moat that observability tools cannot replicate.

Internal analysis
The Timing

Why This. Why Now.

Regulatory Deadline

The EU AI Act enters enforcement August 2026 — all high-risk AI deployers face fines up to 3% of global turnover. The compliance tooling market will explode in the next 18 months.

No Suitable Tools Exist

Langfuse, LangSmith, Datadog track what happened. None can produce a signed evidence package, generate a DPIA, or block a policy violation before it executes.

Distribution is Unlocked

DPOs, CISOs, and compliance officers are actively searching for AI Act tooling. Every RSSI we close becomes a reference for 10 more via the public Conformity Registry.

Investment Thesis

4 Defensible Moats

Competitors can add a compliance tab. They cannot rewrite their architecture to produce cryptographic proof, intercept real-time agent actions, or become the regulator's access point.

Cryptographic Evidence Moat

Ed25519-signed evidence packages, public JWKS, and offline-verifiable witness statements. No competitor produces court-admissible AI audit trails.

Regulatory First-Mover

Regulator Mode lets auditors query data themselves, EU AI Act Art. 71 pre-registry, DPIA Autopilot, Serious Incident Reporting. 18-month lead over observability tools.

Pre-Execution Enforcement

Guardian Mode intercepts agent actions before execution — policy gates, approval queues, circuit breakers. No LangSmith, Langfuse, or Datadog can block a live agent.

Ecosystem Network Effect

Every SDK, adapter, MCP server, and collector we ship creates sticky distribution. Agent Passports on registry.kaplaix.com turn compliance into viral marketing.

“AI Act enforcement is not a checkbox. It's infrastructure. Kaplaix is building the only platform where a regulator, an auditor, and a developer all speak the same cryptographic truth.”
