Built by Practitioners.
Powering the Future of Risk and Compliance.
TigressAI was founded by two industry veterans who had lived the gaps firsthand: legacy tools were built by outsiders, and data only looked backward.
Laura and Vinod set out to change that, creating an AI-native platform designed from the ground up by risk and compliance leaders, for risk and compliance leaders.
With human-in-the-loop AI that turns data from reactive to predictive, TigressAI helps financial institutions identify, mitigate, and manage risk and compliance with 4× greater efficiency at 50% the cost.
Because the future of risk isn't about more tools, it's about smarter intelligence.
