Everyone says VCs don't work over the holidays, but this is the second year in a row I've wired an investment on Christmas Eve (deepest apologies to my CFO...) and I'm so excited to announce that we led Midship's $4.15M seed round!

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance affects every public company, yet testing remains painfully slow, manual, and spread across too many teams. When we met @_kietay, @IyerAahel, and @max_maio we knew they were the right team to fix it. They've lived this pain firsthand as control owners at Instacart, PayPal, and Faire, and their customer obsession and product chops blew us away.

Midship is building AI agents that automate the full SOX testing lifecycle: evidence collection, control testing, and workpaper generation. They're already live with leading public companies who rave about the product. We are so proud to be backing this team alongside our friends at @seguinventures and @ycombinator.

The Midship team is growing fast: check out https://t.co/0TU6oHHHzi & join us!!

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Midship is the end-to-end platform for automating SOX testing.

Today, audit teams either spend thousands of hours manually testing controls, or outsource the work to consultants. Both paths are slow, painful, and expensive.

Midship’s AI agents perform tests and prepare workpapers in minutes. Workpapers export into Excel, in the format external auditors expect.

Congrats on the launch @max_maio, @_kietay, and @IyerAahel!

@99hooper99 SF's rep has been exaggerated by the same 2%... The city hit rock bottom during covid (remote work + failed harm reduction services) but has recovered significantly since then. Every neighborhood a tourist would go to is 10x better than any sunbelt city fox tells you to visit
