CHICAGO, November 7, 2025 — Go Abacus Corporation (“Abacus”), the AI infrastructure purpose-built for regulated industries, today announced it has raised $5 million in Series A funding to accelerate its mission of transforming how highly regulated sectors manage knowledge and deliver compliant information at scale.
The round was led by GFT Ventures, with participation from BankTech Ventures and LAUNCH Fund. The investment will be used to expand Abacus’s engineering team, deepen its compliance infrastructure, and accelerate go-to-market efforts across banking, insurance, healthcare, and credit union verticals.
“Regulated industries have been underserved by AI,” said David Moscatelli, CEO and co-founder of Abacus. “The tools built for the consumer internet don’t work when every response needs to be auditable, every data path needs to be sovereign, and every deployment needs to meet examiner-grade standards. We built Abacus from the ground up for that reality.”
Purpose-Built for Compliance-First Industries
Unlike general-purpose AI platforms that retrofit compliance as an afterthought, Abacus was designed from inception for industries where trust, auditability, and data sovereignty are non-negotiable. The platform deploys on-premise, keeping sensitive data inside institutional walls while providing enterprise-grade AI capabilities including knowledge management, document processing, and decision-support automation.
Abacus holds SOC 2 Type II certification and is built for FINRA and HIPAA compliance, with comprehensive audit logging that captures every AI interaction for regulatory review.
“GFT Ventures invests at the intersection of deep technology and financial services,” said the GFT Ventures investment team. “Abacus is solving a real problem — bringing AI infrastructure that regulated institutions can actually deploy without compromising their compliance posture. The team’s understanding of the regulatory landscape sets them apart.”
Expanding Across Regulated Verticals
Since its founding in 2022, Abacus has secured deployments across community banks, credit unions, insurance carriers, and healthcare systems. The platform’s on-premise architecture has been a key differentiator, enabling institutions to adopt AI without sending sensitive customer, patient, or member data to third-party cloud environments.
The Series A funding will support expansion into new verticals including professional services, as well as deeper feature development in automated compliance reporting, advanced document intelligence, and enterprise knowledge indexing.
“We’re seeing a generational shift in how regulated institutions think about AI,” said Lisa Gillespie, COO and co-founder of Abacus. “The question is no longer ‘should we adopt AI?’ — it’s ‘how do we adopt it without creating regulatory risk?’ That’s exactly the problem Abacus solves.”
