Dili raises $21.7 million to bring AI compliance to the infrastructure boom
Dili, an AI compliance startup focused on US infrastructure projects, has raised a $15 million Series A funding round, bringing its total funding to $21.7 million. The company aims to help developers and contractors navigate complex construction, labour, environmental and clean-energy rules as investment in data centres, power and other infrastructure grows.
The round was led by Khosla Ventures and follows a $6.7 million seed round; other investors include Allianz, Rebel Fund, Darren Bechtel and Y Combinator’s Garry Tan. Dili uses AI to turn unstructured business documents into structured data, then applies deterministic rule-based checks to avoid AI errors in final compliance decisions; it says it is used on about 700 projects and can reduce day-long compliance tasks to minutes.
In short
- Dili raised $15 million for AI infrastructure-compliance software.
- Total funding now stands at $21.7 million.
- Its software is reportedly used on about 700 projects.
Explained simply
The United States is investing heavily in new infrastructure including data centres and power generation facilities. These projects must comply with many rules covering construction practices, worker rights, environmental protection and energy standards, and checking all these requirements can be a lengthy and complex process.
Dili is a software company that uses artificial intelligence to automate compliance checking. It first uses AI to process project documents and extract relevant information, but then applies a set of established rules to check that information rather than relying on AI alone, which can be prone to errors.
The company is already in use on roughly 700 infrastructure projects across the United States. Dili says its system can reduce compliance tasks that normally require a full day of manual work down to just minutes.
