Anecdotes, a pioneering platform in the enterprise Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) space, has raised an additional $30 million in the second tranche of its Series B round. This brings the round’s total to $55 million and boosts the company’s overall funding to $85 million. The fresh capital, led by DTCP, follows a previous $25 million investment led by Glilot Capital and backed by Vertex and Red Dot Capital.

This funding will power Anecdotes’ global expansion efforts, accelerate the development of its AI-powered GRC automation tools, and deepen strategic partnerships with top-tier firms, including Google Cloud, Coalfire, Schellman, and the Big Four. The startup also plans to grow its Managed Service Provider (MSP) program, making advanced GRC automation more accessible to organizations worldwide.

The Urgent Need for Smarter GRC Solutions

Enterprise GRC is at a critical turning point. As regulatory demands intensify—from AI-specific laws to complex data privacy regulations—traditional GRC tools have failed to keep pace. Outdated systems reliant on manual tracking and disjointed processes can no longer support today’s fast-moving digital businesses.

What enterprises need now are intelligent, scalable, and proactive tools. That’s where Anecdotes comes in. Its AI-driven platform restructures how organizations gather and operationalize compliance data, replacing fragmented workflows with real-time automation and actionable insights.

Designed to Eliminate Manual GRC Headaches

Anecdotes is transforming enterprise GRC by introducing a dynamic, data-first approach. Its core offering, the GRC Data Engine, continuously collects raw data from across an organization’s tech stack, standardizes it, and uses AI to identify risks, highlight gaps, and maintain audit readiness.

This means no more endless screenshots or scrambling to provide evidence for audits. Instead, companies gain always-on visibility and automated compliance processes that scale effortlessly.

Unlike other platforms that focus mainly on helping startups pass audits, Anecdotes was built for enterprise-grade complexity. Its proprietary Compliance OS supports high-level customization and features over 200 internally developed integrations—without relying on third-party APIs.

Born from Real Pain—and Military Precision

Founded in 2020 by IDF veterans Yair Kuznitsov and Roi Amior, Anecdotes was born out of frustration. Both founders experienced firsthand the time-consuming burden of providing compliance evidence during audits, often at the cost of productivity.

Yair, previously head of R&D at the elite 8200 unit of Israel’s IDF Intelligence Corps, later led product innovation at Insight. Roi, also a former 8200 unit member, held senior product roles at Verint and multiple startups before teaming up with Yair to tackle GRC.

They envisioned a solution where GRC teams could rely on structured data, AI agents, and automation—eliminating inefficiencies and allowing practitioners to focus on strategy, not admin.

Trusted by Enterprise Giants Worldwide

Today, Anecdotes serves enterprise clients across North America and Europe, including tech heavyweights like Snowflake, SoFi, and Well Health. These companies use Anecdotes to shift from reactive compliance to proactive governance—leveraging structured, credible data to drive strategic decisions.

The platform stands out from U.S. competitors such as Hyperproof and ServiceNow by offering a continuous, automated evidence stream rather than static data snapshots. Its AI tools don’t just detect risks—they empower teams to act fast and improve processes at scale.

Leading the Future of Enterprise GRC with AI

As enterprises face growing pressure to navigate both traditional regulations and emerging AI governance frameworks, Anecdotes is poised to lead the next phase of the GRC revolution.

“With this funding, we’re doubling down on our mission to transform how enterprises manage risk and compliance,” said Yair Kuznitsov, CEO and co-founder of Anecdotes. “We’re building the most innovative, data-driven, and AI-powered solutions in the GRC space.”

Dean Shahar, Managing Director at DTCP, echoed this confidence: “Anecdotes is turning compliance from a rigid requirement into a strategic advantage. Their AI-first approach is setting a new industry standard.”

As risk landscapes evolve and regulatory scrutiny deepens, Anecdotes aims to be the go-to GRC platform for enterprises ready to embrace automation, reduce inefficiencies, and stay ahead of compliance challenges in the AI era.
