Sigma360, an AI-powered platform focused on risk intelligence, financial crime prevention, and compliance, has announced the successful closing of an oversubscribed $17.3 million Series B funding round. The round was led by Moderne Ventures, with additional participation from Vocap Partners and Orrick, as well as follow-on investments from existing backers Contour Ventures and Mosaik Partners. The funding will support the company’s continued expansion as it strengthens its position in the rapidly evolving compliance and financial risk technology market.
Sigma360 has experienced significant growth over the past two years, achieving a fivefold increase in its business while reaching profitability in 2025. The company reported more than 140 percent net revenue retention and 95 percent gross revenue retention, metrics that highlight strong customer adoption and long-term client relationships. Today, the platform helps protect more than $2 trillion in assets and company value while supporting billions of dollars in monthly transactions across banks, payment providers, fintech firms, and global corporations.

The newly raised capital will be used to further enhance Sigma360’s proprietary risk intelligence datasets, expand its AI automation capabilities, and strengthen the company’s global go-to-market efforts. By focusing on these areas, Sigma360 aims to provide financial institutions and regulated businesses with more advanced tools to detect and prevent financial crime while meeting increasingly complex regulatory requirements.
At the core of Sigma360’s platform is a full-stack approach that integrates global risk data, proprietary intelligence, advanced screening technology, and artificial intelligence automation into a single enterprise solution. This integrated system allows organizations to streamline compliance processes and make faster, more accurate risk decisions across multiple operational layers.
Founder and CEO Stuart Jones Jr. emphasized that the financial crime landscape is evolving rapidly, making traditional compliance tools less effective. According to Jones, financial institutions now face a risk environment where criminals continuously develop new methods to exploit gaps in outdated systems. Sigma360’s platform was designed to address this challenge by combining intelligence, technology, and AI-driven automation to strengthen decision-making and help organizations protect the integrity of the global financial system.

Jones founded Sigma360 after working in national security and financial intelligence roles with the U.S. Treasury Department and the National Counterterrorism Center. His experience included leading counterterrorism and anti-corruption operations in Washington, D.C., as well as in Afghanistan and the Arabian Gulf following the events of September 11. Through that work, he observed how traditional know-your-customer (KYC) and screening systems often failed to meet the needs of global financial institutions. This insight inspired him to build a platform that would provide more advanced and purpose-built risk intelligence solutions.
Financial institutions today face growing pressure to address complex cross-border financial crimes, including money laundering, fraud, and sanctions violations. Many compliance teams must manage increasing transaction volumes while also meeting stricter regulatory expectations. Legacy systems often produce high false-positive rates sometimes exceeding 90 percent—which creates operational inefficiencies and places significant strain on already limited compliance resources.
Liza Benson, Partner at Moderne Ventures, believes Sigma360 is positioned to transform a financial crime compliance industry valued at more than $300 billion. She noted that the company’s AI-driven infrastructure provides a new foundation for regulated industries that must manage high compliance costs and increasing regulatory scrutiny. According to Benson, Sigma360’s technology can help organizations reduce operational burdens, improve risk controls, and streamline regulatory processes.
Benson also highlighted the broader impact Sigma360 could have across industries such as real estate, insurance, and financial services. By enabling faster onboarding processes and reducing the need for large compliance teams, the platform could help organizations operate more efficiently while strengthening their ability to detect and prevent financial crime.
