Startups move fast and use AI tools everywhere — product development, marketing, customer support, hiring. Enterprise customers and investors increasingly require AI compliance documentation before signing contracts or term sheets. EU AI Act enforcement starts in 2025 and applies to startups. Aegis Firma helps startups get compliant in 30 minutes, not 30 days, for $79/month.

AI Compliance Challenges for Startups

Enterprise customers require AI compliance documentation before signing deals
No compliance team — founders are also the compliance officers
AI tools used without formal assessment — unknown regulatory exposure
Investor diligence increasingly includes AI governance questions
EU AI Act applies from launch — not just when you reach scale

Regulations That Apply to Startups

EU AI Act (2024/1689)

EU AI Act applies from day one if your startup serves EU customers or uses AI tools that process EU residents' data. SME obligations are lighter than enterprise but still require documentation for high-risk use cases.

GDPR

GDPR applies to any startup processing EU personal data — even as a controller in a US startup with EU users. AI tools processing EU user data require DPAs with each vendor.

US State AI Laws

Colorado, California, New York, Illinois have AI-specific requirements that apply to startups operating in those states or serving customers there.

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 (Enterprise Sales)

Enterprise customers increasingly require SOC 2 Type II or AI governance documentation as a procurement prerequisite. Aegis Firma generates the AI governance layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our startup is pre-revenue. Do we really need AI compliance?

If you're building for enterprise customers, serving EU users, or using AI in employment or credit decisions: yes. Enterprise deals are blocked without AI documentation. EU AI Act applies from day one in the EU market. Aegis Firma at $79/month costs less than losing one enterprise deal.

What questions do investors ask about AI compliance?

Series A and later investors increasingly ask: (1) What AI tools do you use? (2) Do you have an AI policy? (3) How do you handle EU AI Act obligations? (4) What's your data processing setup for AI vendors? Aegis Firma answers all four with a shareable Trust Center page.
