[](https://zerogtalent.com/ai-companies/dili), a New York-based software platform founded in 2023 out of Y Combinator's S23 cohort, recently closed a $15 million Series A funding round led by Khosla Ventures, with additional participation from Allianz, Rebel Fund, Brick and Mortar Ventures, and Garry Tan, as reported by [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/30/dili-raises-15-million-to-bring-ai-compliance-to-the-infrastructure-boom/). The capital raise brings Dili's total venture funding to $21.7 million. Traditional labor and financial compliance relies on auditing firms sampling roughly 10% of historical project records. Dili's platform automates continuous, real-time monitoring across 100% of project data, covering prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act, Inflation Reduction Act labor mandates, certified payroll records, and apprenticeship tracking. ## Automated Compliance for Physical Industries Dili focuses on large-scale physical assets, including energy projects, datacenters, advanced manufacturing plants, and infrastructure. Non-compliance with federal prevailing wage standards and labor regulations can trigger multi-million dollar fines or clawbacks of tax credits. To guarantee output accuracy, Dili utilizes AI models strictly to convert unstructured documents—such as vendor paperwork, certified payroll filings, and internal enterprise resource planning records—into structured data. A deterministic rule engine then processes that structured data against statutory compliance standards. According to [GlobeNewswire](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/07/30/3336377/0/en/dili-raises-21-7m-from-khosla-ventures-to-bring-ai-powered-assurance-to-america-s-infrastructure-boom.html), Dili has deployed its software across more than 700 projects, evaluating over $1.4 billion in gross wages, 5.2 million labor hours, and nearly 16,000 certified payroll reports. Its system has identified or prevented over $50 million in potential penalties across its client base, which includes energy and construction operators like EDF, Radiance, Heelstone, and Borea. ## Leadership Team Background Dili was founded by former Coinbase colleagues who experienced the friction of manual diligence and regulatory tracking firsthand: - [Anand Chaturvedi](https://zerogtalent.com/people/anand-chaturvedi) (Co-Founder & CEO): Previously led engagement growth and built KYC/AML infrastructure at Coinbase, conducted machine learning research for the Apple Vision Pro headset at Apple, and was a Kleiner Perkins Fellow.
