Hadrius

About Hadrius
Hadrius automates the entire SEC ongoing compliance program with AI for financial firms.

30,000+ SEC-regulated financial firms spend a combined total of $2b+ a year on ongoing SEC compliance, and with regulations tightening every year, these costs are continuing to rise. At the same time, the existing solutions can hardly keep up, with most firms paying for third-party consultants, law firms, and 2-decade-old software - while still relying on endless manual work to make up the gap.

Hadrius is a comprehensive, all-in-one platform running everything from reviewing marketing for compliance in under a minute, to filtering and flagging 100k+ emails each week - covering this critical function for these firms with the first modern solution in decades. As a result, we’re already running the compliance program of some of the most well-known financial firms in the world and are looking for exceptional candidates to join us on this mission.

Meet the team
The founding team comes from big tech, hedge funds, and a previous exit before starting a robo-advisor (Quantbase) with thousands of clients. We expect each other to work at our best and constantly challenge ourselves to find ways to grow faster and deliver a better customer experience. The result is a tight-knit company growing rapidly as the cutting edge upstart in an old industry.

We take our work seriously but always find time to share a laugh and get to know each other on a personal level. The team is largely remote, but our main office is in New York City on Wall Street. We will frequently get together - either in NYC, or SF, or at a week long Airbnb in some cool location, to work together in-person 3-5 times a year. Outside of those times, you’re welcome to use the office any time or work from home.

To date, we've raised $2.5M from Y Combinator, Lynett Capital, and Singularity Capital among others.
