Complaion raises €13.5M Series A led by Eurazeo for SME compliance automation

Complaion Closes €13.5 Million Series A

Milan-based compliance platform Complaion has raised a €13.5 million Series A round led by Eurazeo. The funding was announced on September 28, 2026.

What Complaion Does

Founded in 2024, Complaion helps small and medium-sized businesses obtain and maintain ISO certifications and meet European regulatory requirements, including the NIS2 Directive and the AI Act.

The company's software automates up to 80% of the manual documentation work involved in compliance processes. Every engagement is paired with certified lead auditors, combining software automation with human expertise.

Standards and Frameworks Covered

Complaion supports a range of standards and frameworks, including:

• ISO 9001
• ISO 27001
• ISO 42001
• ESG frameworks such as ISO 14001 and UNI/PdR 125

Customer Base

Complaion serves SMEs across multiple sectors:

• Manufacturing
• Healthcare
• Construction
• Logistics
• Professional services
• Agri-food

The company operates from Milan with a second office in Madrid.

Investor Group

The Series A round includes participation from:

• Eurazeo (lead)
• Vento Ventures
• Eden Ventures
• Kfund
• Vesper Holding
• Enzo Ventures
• Shapers
• Ithaca Investments
• 2100 Ventures
• Italian Founders Fund
• Sella Direct Ventures

Why It Matters

Complaion sits at the intersection of two growing pressures on European SMEs: tightening regulatory requirements and limited internal compliance resources. The NIS2 Directive and the AI Act are expanding the scope of obligations for businesses that may lack dedicated compliance teams.

By automating the bulk of documentation work and pairing it with certified auditors, Complaion addresses both the efficiency gap and the credibility requirement that certification processes demand. The breadth of standards covered — from quality management to information security, AI management, and ESG — positions the platform as a multi-framework solution rather than a single-standard tool.

The presence of a large institutional lead in Eurazeo, alongside a broad syndicate of European venture funds and a bank-affiliated investor in Sella Direct Ventures, suggests strong confidence in the company's ability to scale across European markets. The Madrid office indicates early expansion beyond Italy.

What Comes Next

With fresh capital, Complaion is positioned to deepen its presence in existing markets and extend its platform coverage as European regulatory frameworks continue to evolve. For SMEs navigating compliance obligations, the company offers a combined software-and-auditor model that aims to reduce the manual burden of certification and regulatory adherence.
