The market

• The 18-month compliance window is closing. Pushing companies towards €20k-100K in annual compliance spend and opening up a €5B compliance ‘gold rush’.

This startup is solving one key problem:

• EU AI Act enforcement begins in August 2025, 50,000+ AI companies in EU but zero dedicated compliance solutions exist.

Traction metrics

• Customer discovery:

  • 127 interviews with target customers (89% say AI Act is "top 3 priority" and 76% have no compliance plan)

  • 23 companies on MVP waitlist

• Pre-launch commitments

  • 3 enterprises ready to start June 2025

  • €120K planned pipeline for Q3 launch

  • 2 law firms want to white-label

• Technical readiness

  • On track to deliver alpha demo by Q3 2025 focused on conformity assessment tooling.

  • Clickable prototype in progress, tested with 5 compliance teams for workflow mapping.

  • Back-end architecture scoped for modular risk documentation, including versioned policy ingestion and model traceability.

• Shortlisted for two RegTech and AI accelerators (including one focused on GDPR and EU AI Act adaptation).

Competitive landscape

• Legacy GRC Platforms (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) e.g. OneTrust, TrustArc, LogicGate.

  • Built for privacy and security compliance (e.g. GDPR, ISO 27001), not AI governance. These platforms are data-centric, not model-aware, and lack AI system documentation or LLM integration capabilities.

• AI Governance Startups e.g. Holistic AI, Credo AI, Monitaur.

  • Focus heavily on risk classification and policy workflows, often require deep manual input and audits. Limited in real-time operationalisation and are still adapting to the final shape of the EU AI Act.

• Enterprise AI Platforms Adding Compliance Layers e.g. Microsoft Azure AI, Google Vertex AI, Palantir.

  • Offer broad AI tooling with compliance features as add-ons. These are deeply technical environments that assume internal AI maturity and are less accessible for cross-functional compliance teams.

Our Take

Appeals

• EU AI Act native, not retrofit: Built from the ground up to align with the structure and obligations of the EU AI Act (risk classification, technical documentation, conformity assessment, post-market monitoring). Offers prebuilt workflows, checklists, and documentation templates tailored for each risk tier.

• Current "competition": OneTrust/TrustArc/Vanta: GDPR-focused, slow to adapt. Law Firms: Expensive, not scalable. In-house: 2-3 FTEs at €300K/year

• Regulatory tailwind and complexity drives premium pricing: Means predictable, scalable revenue at high margins. First mover advantage multiplies this as EyREACT are set to take a lot of the market in a short amount of time.

Risks

• The EU AI Act still undergoing interpretive clarification: Risk that final guidance delays enterprise urgency or reshapes requirements, leading to slower-than-expected market uptake.

  • Mitigation: EyREACT is architected for modular compliance, enabling rapid adaptation to evolving regulatory frameworks (e.g. AI Act, GDPR, ISO 42001).

• Long, complex sales cycles: Typical for selling RegTech into mid-to-large enterprises with multiple stakeholders across compliance, IT, and legal departments. This could hinder early traction and delay revenue. 

  • Mitigation: EyREACT prioritise lightweight pilots with high-risk AI use cases (e.g. healthcare, finance) to establish early beachheads.

• Existing enterprise vendors (e.g. Microsoft, SAP, Workday): May expand their AI governance tooling, bundling compliance into broader platforms. This could compress their market opportunity or raise barriers to entry.

  • Mitigation: EyREACT differentiates on granularity, usability, and speed-to-deployment. Their modular approach enables domain-specific knowledge injection, faster documentation workflows, and integration with internal LLM ops.
