About
Based in California, US, and founded in 2025 by Felipe Jin Li and David Jin Li, Denki specializes in AI auditing solutions. In March 2026, Denki raised USD 4. 1 million in seed funding, co-led by Base10 Partners and Shine Capital, with participation from Y Combinator and 20VC. Denki provides innovative auditing solutions through its core product offerings that leverage artificial intelligence to streamline the audit process.
The company’s primary products include the Walker, Guardian, and Tracer agents. Walker maintains an accurate and up-to-date inventory of controls by learning from organizational charts, processes, and historical audit data, enabling organizations to refresh control maps as changes occur. Guardian performs real-time validation of controls, matching HR and access data to identify potential issues before they escalate into audit findings. Tracer facilitates end-to-end traceability across various financial systems, integrating general ledgers, sub-ledgers, ERP systems, and payment rails to create comprehensive audit trails.
Denki serves a diverse client base, including enterprises subject to regulatory frameworks such as SOX, Dodd-Frank, and BSA/AML, primarily in North America and Europe, where the demand for continuous compliance and automated auditing solutions is rapidly growing. Denki's revenue model is structured around subscription-based services, with clients engaging in partnerships for comprehensive auditing solutions tailored to their specific needs. The company offers various pricing plans that correspond to the level of service and support provided, including options for free onboarding and 1:1 support from dedicated audit experts. Clients utilize Denki’s flagship products to automate their audit processes, significantly reducing time spent on traditional auditing methods.
Transactions are designed for B2B interactions, where organizations subscribe to Denki's services for continuous internal auditing and compliance assurance. Through these engagements, Denki effectively generates revenue by providing value-added services that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of clients' auditing functions. In March 2026, Denki raised USD 4. 1 million in venture funding to develop its artificial intelligence assurance platform aimed at automating compliance processes and meeting financial regulatory requirements.
The company plans to launch new products designed to enhance its auditing capabilities, targeting a release within the next 12 months. Additionally, Denki is focusing on expanding its market presence into the Asia-Pacific region, specifically aiming for entry by mid-2027. The recent funding will be instrumental in supporting these product developments and geographical expansions.
