Compliance isn’t the star of the show, but miss a line and the regulators will hand you the bill. That’s the world ActiveComply stepped into when it launched in 2018 out of Orlando, Florida. The pitch was simple but deadly accurate: automate the endless grind of audits so Independent Mortgage Banks, Banks, Credit Unions, Mortgage Brokers, and Insurers could spend less time chasing disclosures and more time moving money. It worked, and now Level Equity has planted its flag with a majority stake through a strategic growth equity investment announced September 29, 2025. The check size stays off the record, but the move speaks volumes, compliance automation isn’t optional anymore, it is the firewall for financial services.
Rob Nunziata, a mortgage-tech entrepreneur with the battle scars from FBC Mortgage, paired up with Mike Prince, a developer with a head for compliance automation, to build ActiveComply into a platform that doesn’t just monitor risk, it dismantles inefficiency. SocialShield digs up the employee accounts no one admits exist, WebCompass scans websites for missing disclosures and ADA potholes, and VirtualVerify inspects home offices and remote branches without burning time on travel. The architecture runs multi-tenant on AWS, the backend hums with Python and Node.js, and the algorithms for account discovery are already lining up patent protection.
Over 130 financial institutions across the U.S. are onboard. Review cycles run seven times faster. Audit time drops 86 percent. Revenue climbs 57 percent year over year. In a mortgage origination market worth over $3 trillion annually, those aren’t vanity stats, they’re proof that automation is the new compliance officer.
The next chapter is written by leadership that balances scale and expertise. September also brought in Asif Alam as Chief Executive Officer, a SaaS operator with history at Compliance.ai and ThoughtTrace. Rob Nunziata shifts into the Executive Chairman role, while Mike Prince continues as Chief Technology Officer. Level Equity partner Nick Berardo joins the board, adding the financial firepower to back the vision.
Funding will fuel sharper AI classification, expanded state and federal regulatory libraries, and mobile-first monitoring designed for a workforce that doesn’t sit still. Hiring will center on engineering, customer success, and compliance consulting to turn ActiveComply into not just a product but a partner for institutions that live under a microscope. Credit unions and insurers are next in line.
Compliance may never headline, but ActiveComply makes it impossible to ignore. Regulators will keep raising the bar. Institutions will keep sweating the details. And ActiveComply will keep proving that automation isn’t just about speed, it is about survival.
