# Dili Raises $15M Series A for AI Compliance Infrastructure

> Dili has raised a $15 million Series A led by Khosla Ventures, with participation from Allianz and Rebel Fund, following a $6.7 million seed earlier this year. The startup builds AI tooling to handle compliance and regulatory paperwork for US infrastructure projects, the permits, reviews, and documentation that can bog down construction for months or years. It is an unglamorous corner of AI, and that is exactly what makes it interesting. Big infrastructure spending keeps running into a wall of regulatory process, and applying language models to draft, check, and track that paperwork is a concrete, high-value use case rather than a general-purpose demo. Khosla's involvement signals conviction that the regulatory-burden problem is large enough to build a company around. The risk with compliance AI is that mistakes carry real legal weight, so accuracy and accountability matter more than flash. If Dili can prove its output holds up under scrutiny, it is aimed at a genuine bottleneck in getting things built, which gives it a clearer path to value than many flashier AI startups.
