Inside the VC-Backed RegTech Momentum
This week, one of the year’s biggest cybersecurity conferences, RSAC, kicks off herein my backyard.
With a packed agenda covering some of the most pressing issues in cybersecurity today, the conference takes place as the sector, along with others under the RegTech umbrella, are experiencing high levels of VC investment, as some of enterprise’s most complex and arguably dull tasks, such as compliance, are yielding some of the biggest deals.
As capabilities of AI create novel and powerful ways to address regulatory challenges, while at the same time, enterprise use of AI technology also creates a new host of burdens around compliance, data protection and cybersecurity, the importance of the RegTech sector has continued to grow.
Amid rapidly growing RegTech global market – which I include under the broader LegalTech umbrella – this edition of Venture Legal explores RegTech’s history and current growth, and examines sectors such as:

- InsurTech, which is rapidly growing due to AI innovation; and
- GovTech, which has been called the sector’s “last frontier.”
