The First AI-Native Platform to Unite Compliance, Cybersecurity and Data for Financial Services Firms
MENLO PARK, Calif., May 13, 2025 — Surge Ventures, a FinTech venture studio specializing in risk and regulatory innovation, today announced the launch of SurgeONE.ai, the industry’s first integrated platform combining AI, expert services and secure data infrastructure to power modern compliance and cybersecurity for broker-dealers, RIAs and other regulated financial institutions.
The SurgeONE.ai platform unifies the proven capabilities of RegVerse, Kovair and Security Snapshot into a single intelligent system – delivering end-to-end solutions that blend automation with domain expertise. The platform was designed from the ground up to address real-world regulatory complexity, cyber threats and fragmented systems – problems legacy vendors and AI-only startups struggle to solve in isolation.
“This isn’t a rebrand or another AI wrapper,” said Sid Yenamandra, CEO of SurgeONE.ai. “It’s a new architecture, built by practitioners who’ve lived compliance and cyber from the inside, that will give firms clarity, agility and control in a time of mounting oversight.”
SurgeONE.ai is modular, scalable and offers capabilities that align with where firms are today and where they need to go tomorrow:
The result is a single command center that reduces vendor sprawl, cuts risk and streamlines operations for financial firms facing increasingly complex regulatory demands.
Regulated firms are overwhelmed by disconnected point solutions, outdated legacy platforms and increasing audit and enforcement activity. SurgeONE.ai eliminates the need for juggling multiple vendors by combining expert services with intelligent technology in one scalable system.
“We’ve spent years working with financial firms through audits, exams and breaches,” said Yenamandra. “SurgeONE.ai is the culmination of everything we’ve learned — a platform that delivers real value, not just automation for automation’s sake.”
SurgeONE.ai was designed not only as a solution, but as a foundation. that welcomes collaboration with other compliance professionals and service providers who believe in combining human insight with smart technology.
“Our mission is to modernize how the compliance and risk industry operates,” added Yenamandra. “We invite other expert-led firms looking to scale their impact to partner with us, because the future belongs to platforms built by practitioners, not just programmers.”
Surge Ventures is a venture studio that builds, acquires, and invests in SaaS companies solving mission-critical challenges in compliance, cybersecurity, and data infrastructure for financial services. Through its integrated execution model and shared technology foundation, Surge has unified RegVerse, Kovair, and Security Snapshot to create SurgeONE.ai — a modern risk and compliance platform designed for scale, speed, and trust.
