Alinia AI addresses the gap between deploying AI and deploying it safely. Founded in 2024 by Ariadna Font Llitjos and Carlos Munoz Ferrandis, both veterans of organizations including Twitter, IBM, Hugging Face, and Sony AI, the company builds the compliance and control layer that enterprises need to put generative AI and AI agents into production responsibly. As regulations like the EU AI Act take effect and AI moves into high-stakes functions, the demand for embedded governance grows sharply.
The product centers on a Guardrails API and an AI Compliance Platform that embed control directly into AI systems. Together they provide a unified framework for real-time auditing, policy enforcement, and risk monitoring across any AI deployment. Rather than treating safety as an afterthought or a manual review process, Alinia makes guardrails a runtime component, checking outputs and enforcing policies as the AI operates, including through multilingual guard models that support compliance across different markets and languages.
Alinia's focus is on high-stakes, regulated use cases. The company works with Santander Group, where its technology supports the bank's AI governance framework, and its guardrails are used by Origin Financial, whose AI financial advisor relies on Alinia for back-end controls. These deployments illustrate the target: AI applications where incorrect, non-compliant, or unsafe outputs carry serious consequences.
In December 2025, Alinia raised a USD 7.5 million seed round led by Mouro Capital, with participation from Raise Ventures, Speedinvest, and Precursor Ventures. The funding supports its mission to build compliance infrastructure for safe, scalable enterprise AI. With a founding team drawn from leading AI and platform companies and early traction in financial services, Alinia is positioning itself at the intersection of AI safety, governance, and enterprise adoption.
