ZeroDrift raises $10 million to protect AI models from themselves

ZeroDrift raised a $10 million seed round led by investors including a16z Speedrun, Reign Ventures, PitchDrive Ventures, and U&I Ventures.

The startup offers a compliance layer that flags risky AI messages and rewrites them to meet standards like GDPR and SOC 2.

Its system uses deterministic checks first, then LLM-based rewrites, aiming for safer and lower-latency enterprise AI outputs.

The funding reflects growing demand for AI guardrails in customer-facing and automated workflows.
