Sigma360, an AI-powered risk intelligence and financial crime prevention platform, announced that it has raised $17.3 million in an oversubscribed Series B funding round led by Moderne Ventures, with participation from Vocap Partners and Orrick, and follow-on investment from Contour Ventures and Mosaik Partners.
The new funding will be used to expand the company’s platform capabilities, strengthen proprietary risk intelligence datasets, and accelerate global expansion across banks, payment providers, fintechs and other regulated financial institutions. Sigma360 provides a full-stack platform that unifies global risk data, intelligence, screening technology and AI automation to help organizations detect and prevent financial crime while meeting regulatory compliance requirements.
Over the past two years, the company has experienced significant growth, achieving fivefold revenue expansion while reaching profitability in 2025. Sigma360 reports more than 140% net revenue retention and 95% gross revenue retention, reflecting strong customer adoption and expansion across its client base. The platform now supports institutions responsible for more than $2 trillion in assets and processes billions of dollars in transaction value each month across banking, payments, and globally exposed corporations.
Sigma360’s technology is designed to address the growing challenges in anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and risk-screening processes. Financial institutions are facing rising regulatory expectations, increasing geopolitical risk and rapidly growing screening volumes, while many compliance teams continue to rely on legacy systems that generate false-positive rates exceeding 90%.
Founded by former U.S. Treasury Department and National Counterterrorism Center official Stuart Jones Jr., the company was built to modernize financial crime prevention infrastructure and improve the speed and accuracy of risk decisioning across global financial institutions. Jones previously led counterterrorism and anti-corruption operations in Washington, D.C. and internationally, experiences that influenced the development of Sigma360’s platform.
The company’s platform consolidates risk screening, monitoring and intelligence into a single enterprise-grade cloud system that enables real-time screening and continuous monitoring of clients and transactions. By combining proprietary datasets with AI-powered automation, Sigma360 aims to reduce compliance workloads, lower false-positive alerts and improve risk detection.
Sigma360 has also received industry recognition for its technology, including being named the number one adverse media screening platform by Chartis Research in both 2025 and 2026 and a leader in KYC and screening solutions in the firm’s RiskTech Quadrants rankings.
