“Can AI agents fully automate the evidence-gathering and documentation grind of enterprise compliance certifications — and do so with verifiable integrity?”
Founded in 2023 by 21-year-old MIT dropouts, Delve set out to automate the tedious evidence-gathering and documentation work required for security and regulatory certifications like SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR. The company grew rapidly after Y Combinator and raised a Series A at a $300M valuation within months of its seed. In early 2026, Delve faced significant reputational damage from whistleblower allegations of faking compliance evidence and misappropriating open-source tools — a material risk given that its core product promise is trustworthy compliance automation.
Delve was founded by Karun Kaushik and Selin Kocalar and is founded in 2023, headquartered in San Francisco, CA.
Delve has raised $35.3M in total (latest round: Series A, July 2025; valuation: $300M post-money (2025)).
