Every message your firm sends is a regulatory event. ZeroDrift makes sure it's compliant before it goes out. Your team moves faster and communicates with more confidence than ever before.

We are building the compliance infrastructure layer for enterprise communications. ZeroDrift enforces SEC, FINRA, and firm-specific policies in real-time across every channel where humans and AI write. We catch violations, fix them before send, and generate a defensible record automatically.

The financial services industry spends billions on compliance, yet every existing solution reviews communications after they’re sent. ZeroDrift is the first platform that enforces compliance before a message leaves the building. We are not a monitoring tool. We are the enforcement layer.

Built for broker-dealers, RIAs, asset managers, and wealth platforms that operate at the highest standard.

Based in New York. Backed by a16z Speedrun (Andreessen Horowitz’s flagship program for early-stage AI-native companies). Built by AI and platform leaders from Goldman Sachs, Google, and Microsoft.
