Regula

FinTech SMBs in emerging markets struggle to monitor fragmented, fast-changing regulations across websites, PDFs, and circulars, leading to high compliance workload and non-compliance risk.

Legacy RegTech tools are expensive and focused on US/EU enterprise markets, leaving emerging-market teams with manual monitoring and limited local coverage.

Build an automation-first, region-focused compliance intelligence product with continuous crawling, AI summarization, impact scoring, and affordable SMB pricing.

Multi-tenant Next.js full-stack app with PostgreSQL + Drizzle, background workflows via Inngest, crawl and extraction via Crawl4AI, AI analysis via Gemini, notifications via email/webhooks, and storage/caching using S3 and Redis.

Implemented end-to-end monitoring pipeline (target setup -> crawl -> version diff -> AI analysis -> alerting), compliance workspace, onboarding wizard, billing/usage controls, and legal/privacy foundations for SaaS operations.

Maintaining crawl reliability across regulator site changes/anti-bot behavior, reducing false positives, handling legal/compliance constraints around public-data scraping, and scaling infra cost-effectively.

Regula automates regulatory monitoring and turns changes into prioritized, actionable alerts with audit-ready history, enabling small compliance teams to respond faster with less manual effort.

Targets include up to 70% reduction in compliance workload, detection latency under 1 hour, time-to-first-alert under 48 hours for most users, and significantly lower cost than legacy enterprise RegTech tools.
