Amsterdam-based Supplied AI has closed a €1.6 million seed round to expand its compliance infrastructure platform, targeting the regulatory burden that affects three-quarters of digital platforms across Europe.
The funding round, led by Rethink Ventures and Volve Capital, included participation from Volta Ventures, EWOR, and Newschool.VC. Angel investors comprised industry veterans including Christoph Morbee, Michiel Goris, Constantine Gerasimovich, and Ardan Bousche from ClickPatrol.
Founded in 2024 by Johann Rozario, Supplied AI has built a comprehensive platform that handles onboarding, compliance monitoring, and regulatory reporting for digital platforms. The company currently serves more than 50 customers across European markets, with backing from advisors formerly at Bolt, Booking.com, PayPal, Sixt, Deliveroo, SumUp, and PwC.
From reactive tools to unified infrastructure
The startup initially addressed EU DAC7 platform reporting requirements before expanding into a broader compliance infrastructure covering KYC, KYB, AML, and international regulatory frameworks. Its platform integrates with enterprise systems including SAP, Salesforce, and Stripe.
“Today’s compliance tools weren’t built for platforms,” says Johann Rozario, CEO and founder. “They’re fragmented, reactive, and create friction. We started Supplied AI to flip that model.”
The company’s approach centres on automation and workflow optimisation, addressing what it identifies as a significant operational burden. According to Supplied AI’s research, 73 per cent of platforms consider compliance their most substantial operational challenge.
Market expansion and team growth
The fresh capital will fund expansion of engineering and customer success teams, with plans to double headcount by the end of 2025. The company is also extending coverage to additional reporting regimes, including DAC8 and CSRD frameworks.
Early customers span travel, e-commerce, and talent marketplace platforms, alongside consultants and payment service providers utilising Supplied AI’s white-labelled solutions. The platform offers both API and no-code interfaces to accommodate different technical requirements across sectors.
“Supplied AI is doing what Stripe did for payments, but for onboarding, reporting and compliance,” notes Maurits Hovius, General Partner at Volve Capital. “Their momentum in a traditionally slow-moving industry signals that the market is ready for this kind of automation.”
Regulatory complexity drives demand
The platform addresses compliance frameworks spanning 1099-K, DAC8, and OECD Platform Rules across multiple jurisdictions. This comprehensive approach reflects the increasing regulatory complexity facing digital platforms operating internationally.
Matthias Schanze, General Partner at Rethink Ventures, highlighted the infrastructure approach as particularly compelling. “What impressed us most was Supplied AI’s approach to automation: they’re building compliance as infrastructure,” he explains.
The company is collaborating with industry associations and partners to help platform operators manage regulatory obligations at scale. Chief Commercial Officer Bas Bogerd emphasizes the strategic shift in how compliance is perceived: “Compliance has evolved from a back-office task to a strategic advantage.”
With regulatory requirements continuing to expand globally, Supplied AI’s unified platform approach addresses the operational burden whilst potentially creating competitive advantages for compliant platforms in international markets.
