spektr is a Copenhagen-based RegTech startup that uses AI to eliminate the manual drudgery of financial compliance. Its platform deploys networks of specialized AI agents to automate the work behind KYC (Know Your Customer) and KYB (Know Your Business) compliance, spanning onboarding, risk assessment and ongoing monitoring, so compliance analysts can focus on decisions rather than data gathering. spektr combines configurable workflows with AI agents that execute tasks such as document review, ownership and beneficial-owner mapping, sanctions-list monitoring and risk analysis. Founded in 2023 by repeat entrepreneurs Mikkel Skarnager, Jan-Erik Wagner, Jeremy Joly and Ciprian Florescu (with a prior exit in identity verification), spektr counts clients including Pleo, Santander Leasing, Monta and Mercuryo. It raised a $20M Series A led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA), with Northzone, Seedcamp and PSV Tech participating, bringing total funding to just under $26M and funding expansion into London and New York.
