Today, I’m thrilled to announce that we have raised a $75M Series B funding round and are updating our name from Greenlite AI to Bretton AI.
This round was led by Sapphire Ventures, with continued investment from all existing institutional investors, including Greylock, Y Combinator, Thomson Reuters Ventures, and Canvas Ventures. We are also welcoming TIAA Ventures as a new investor.
This funding, raised less than a year after our Series A, is a testament to the incredible work of our team and the undeniable results our customers are achieving. It’s a validation of our mission to change how financial institutions staff regulated work and the scale of the opportunity ahead of us.

Enabling growth without compromise
Financial institutions are facing an impossible staffing challenge. Compliance costs consume 10-15% of budgets and grow every year. Traditional solutions—hiring more people or outsourcing to BPOs—are slow, expensive, and prone to error. Meanwhile, customer expectations for fast onboarding and seamless experiences are rising.
We founded Bretton AI to solve this problem. We believed there was a better way—a new staffing model where AI agents work alongside human analysts to handle high-volume, mission-critical compliance work faster and with higher quality.
Financial Crime: AI’s Breakout Use Case
Financial crime work is high-volume, unstructured, and spans dozens of tools. This is why scaling compliance has historically meant hiring more people or outsourcing. It’s also why financial crime is the breakout use case for AI agents.
Bretton AI agents operate across systems, make sense of messy data, and complete investigations in minutes instead of days. They work inside your existing compliance tools with the rigor of a senior compliance analyst, delivering immediate, measurable ROI.
And the results speak for themselves:
- A $15B+ institution cut BPO spend by $5.35M in Year 1 with Bretton AI.
- A Fortune 500 reduced time to onboard institutional clients by 50%.
- An FDIC-regulated bank reduced time to originate loans by 90%.
These results are leading to a surge of client demand, pulling us into globally significant banking institutions, new geographies, and new compliance categories at a record pace. We are proud to work with OCC, FDIC, and Federal Reserve regulated banks across the United States, as well as leading financial platforms including Mercury, Gusto, and Upgrade.
Trust and Transparency at the Core
From day one, our focus has been on building AI systems that can handle the complexity of regulated work in production. Every Bretton AI agent is built on our proprietary Trust Infrastructure, a governance system with model risk management, continuous AI evaluations, and rigorous quality assurance testing. This allows financial institutions to deploy agents that are audit-ready and regulator-aligned from day one.
Why Bretton?
When we started this company, we were focused on a specific problem: helping compliance teams deal with the overwhelming volume of alerts. But as we deployed into the real work of risk and compliance, one thing became obvious: agents aren’t products; they’re a new way of operating a financial institution.
And to support this transformation, we needed to scale from a handful of agents to trusted infrastructure that allows you to build agents for any regulated use case.
Our new name, Bretton AI, is an homage to Bretton Woods, the landmark international agreement that created the framework for post-WWII economic growth and stability. It was a system that enabled decades of financial inclusion and global expansion. We believe we’re at a similar inflection point today. AI has the potential to transform how financial institutions operate, enabling them to serve billions more people safely and compliantly.
But for this to happen, we need a new standard—a framework that ensures AI operates with the same rigor, transparency, and trust that regulators and customers expect. That’s what Bretton AI is building. Our name reflects our ambition to be that standard.
