New funding fuels platform innovation and expansion of trusted enterprise risk intelligence, AML and KYC solutions for financial institutions and fintechs worldwide

NEW YORK, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sigma360, the full-stack AI platform for risk intelligence, financial crime prevention and compliance, announced an oversubscribed $17.3MM Series B funding round led by Moderne Ventures with participation from Vocap Partners and Orrick, as well as follow-on investment from Contour Ventures and Mosaik Partners.

Over the last two years, Sigma360 achieved 5X growth, reaching profitability in 2025, 140%+ Net Revenue Retention (NRR) and 95% Gross Revenue Retention (GRR), positioning it as a clear leader in a rapidly changing market. The company’s platform now protects over $2 trillion in assets and company value, as well as billions of dollars in transactional value each month across banking, payments, fintechs and globally exposed corporations.

The new capital will be used to strengthen Sigma360’s proprietary risk intelligence datasets, deepen AI automation capabilities, and expand the company’s global go-to-market presence across banks, payment providers and other regulated financial institutions.

“We live in an increasingly risk-on world, where financial crime is evolving faster than traditional approaches can keep up,” said Stuart Jones, Jr. “To solve this, we’ve built the first full-stack platform that unifies risk data, intelligence, core technology, and AI – accelerating and strengthening decisioning across every level to help our clients manage risk, meet regulatory expectations and protect the integrity of the global financial system.”

Jones founded Sigma360 following a career in the U.S. Treasury Department and National Counterterrorism Center, leading counterterrorism and anti-corruption operations in D.C. and on-the-ground in Afghanistan and the Arabian Gulf following 9/11. Seeing firsthand how legacy KYC and screening systems failed global banks and payment companies, he launched Sigma360 to democratize access to high-performance, purpose-built solutions.

Complex, cross-border financial crime has exposed the limits of decades-old KYC, AML and screening approaches. Institutions face mounting regulatory expectations, increasing geopolitical risk, growing screening volumes and resource-constrained compliance teams that face false-positive rates of over 90%.

“Sigma360 is redefining a $300 billion financial crime compliance industry by building trusted AI infrastructure for highly regulated markets,” said Liza Benson, Partner, Moderne Ventures. “For Moderne, the opportunity is compelling because we believe Sigma360 will materially reduce operational burden and regulatory risk across our industries, where compliance costs are high and enforcement actions reach into the millions and billions. For our partners across real estate, insurance and financial services, Sigma360 will drive faster onboarding, lower compliance headcount and create stronger risk controls.”

The company was named the #1 adverse media screening platform by Chartis Research in 2025 and 2026, a KYC and screening quadrant leader in 2025, and is recognized as an accurate and complete AI automation tool for financial crime prevention in numerous independent benchmarking exercises.
