Lithuanian regtech Copla has raised €6 million ($7.1 million USD) in Series A funding for its AI-powered compliance automation platform.

Iron Wolf Capital led the round, which featured participation from Operator Stack and existing investors Specialist VC, SuperHero Capital, FirstPick, NGL Ventures, and Loggerhead Partners.

Founded in 2023, Copla made its Finovate debut at FinovateEurope 2025 in London.

Copla, a regtech headquartered in Lithuania that offers an AI-powered compliance automation platform, has secured €6 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Iron Wolf Capital. Operator Stack and existing investors Specialist VC, SuperHero Capital, FirstPick, NGL Ventures, and Loggerhead Partners also participated in the funding. Copla, which made its Finovate debut at FinovateEurope 2025, will use the capital to further build out its product, add talent to its team, and expand into markets beyond the European Union.

In a statement, the company noted that regulations are becoming increasingly complicated and operational. From the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) to the Cyber Resilience Act, there are a range of new compliance obligations that regulated firms throughout the European Union will have to deal with starting this year. Copla’s platform specializes in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) compliance, transforming the mandates of regulations like DORA and the EU AI Act into guided, evidence-based workflows. The technology converts regulatory requirements into specific tasks, tracks execution on a continuous basis, and automatically records all evidence to ensure that the operations are audit-ready. In a recognition that not all regulatory processes are best automated, Copla also offers hands-on support via in-house and fractional CISO services, as well as a network of partner providers across Europe to assist with audits, risk decisions, and interactions with regulators.

“Regulation is getting sharper, but most compliance is still stuck in spreadsheets,” Copla Co-founder and CEO Aurimas Bakas said. “We built Copla so compliance stays current by default, and so companies can grow with confidence instead of audit anxiety. This round gives us the momentum to make Copla the default compliance execution layer for regulated finance in Europe and beyond.”

To this end, one initiative announced along with the company’s funding was Copla Bridge, a new platform layer that will help partners, consultants, and multi-entity organizations manage compliance issues across companies from a single, unified view. Copla Bridge is designed to help organizations that must centralize compliance across subsidiaries, regulated entities, or a group structure, a major challenge for most organizations that do not have the requisite tooling and infrastructure.

Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania, Copla made its Finovate debut at FinovateEurope 2025. At the conference, the company showed how it combines three of its solutions—CoreGuardian, an AI-driven CoPilot, and VendorGuard—to provide comprehensive cybersecurity and compliance. CoreGuardian ensures compliance with key frameworks such as DORA. Copla’s CoPilot engages users individually via Slack and Teams to provide real-time education, assessments, and alerts. VendorGuard streamlines vendor management, providing risk assessments, incident planning, and prioritization.
