Overview
Footprint develops an identity and financial-crime compliance platform for financial institutions. Its September 16, 2026 $25M Series B was led by QED Investors, with Alumni Ventures, MUFG, Commerce Ventures, Lightbank, Index Ventures, Lerer Hippeau and others participating. The financing supports Percy, its AI investigation system, and Trust Fabric, its shared evidence and case memory.
Footprint reports faster enhanced due diligence and watchlist checks in specific customer workflows, but those company-case-study savings are not audited platform-wide benchmarks. The funding amount is the total Series B, not Alumni Ventures' individual investment.
Why Footprint is interesting
Banks and fintechs still reconcile KYC, KYB, AML, sanctions and ongoing monitoring in disconnected systems. Footprint's new Percy and Trust Fabric products aim to automate investigations while preserving institutional memory, raising the question whether measured compliance savings extend beyond individual pilot workflows.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Footprint combines identity and investigation workflows with an AI-operated case history. Its claimed productivity benefits depend on integration quality, regulatory acceptance, false positives and customer-specific controls.
The investor diligence test is whether automating KYC and investigations reduces cost without increasing missed compliance risks. Case-study improvements are not a general substitute for false-positive rates, independent validation, customer retention or audited margins.
