Archive Intel Secures $1.5M Seed Round to Redefine Compliance in Financial Services

At Social Leverage, we take immense pride in supporting innovative teams that are building transformative solutions for modern challenges. Today, we’re thrilled to celebrate Archive Intel, one of our portfolio companies, for successfully raising $1.5 million in a seed funding round led by Garuda Ventures, with continued participation from us at Social Leverage.

Addressing a Growing Industry Need
Compliance in financial services has never been more complex—or more critical. With regulatory scrutiny on the rise, financial institutions are navigating a landscape where non-compliant communications can result in billions of dollars in fines. At the same time, today’s clients demand seamless communication across diverse platforms, from text messages to social media.

Enter Archive Intel. Founded by Larry Shumbres, a seasoned entrepreneur with a proven track record in fintech, Archive Intel is tackling these challenges head-on with its AI-powered communications compliance and archiving platform. Designed to support financial institutions in adhering to SEC, FINRA, and CFTC regulations, the platform ensures comprehensive communication monitoring across channels like iMessage, WhatsApp, and email, without sacrificing client experience or operational efficiency.

Rapid Growth and a Bold Vision
Since launching in mid-2024, Archive Intel has seen remarkable traction, onboarding 220 clients and over 2,000 users in just six months. This rapid growth highlights the immense market demand for a modern compliance solution. With the additional funding, Archive Intel plans to expand its team, enhance its technology, and scale its operations to serve larger enterprise financial institutions.

CEO Larry Shumbres shared his vision for the company:
“Our mission has always been to make compliance seamless, efficient, and future-ready. This funding validates our approach and will allow us to continue delivering innovative solutions that empower our clients to stay ahead of regulatory challenges.”

The Road Ahead
We’ve been proud to support Archive Intel from the start, and it’s inspiring to see the incredible progress Larry and his team have made in such a short time. Their innovative use of AI to reduce false positives and streamline compliance workflows is already setting a new standard in the industry.

As compliance continues to evolve, Archive Intel is positioned to become a category-defining company in the space. We look forward to supporting their journey as they scale and solidify their leadership in compliance technology.

Congratulations to Larry, Shea, and the entire Archive Intel team. The future of compliance is here—and it’s being built by Archive Intel.
