Regology was founded in 2017 by Mukund Goenka (CEO), Pavan Bayyapu (CTO), and Paul Bruin.[4] According to Goenka, the company was inspired by his experience at PwC, where he worked with large financial institutions managing regulatory compliance through manual processes. "For seven years, Paul Bruin and I worked at PwC, implementing regulatory compliance programs for various large financial institutions. The processes of identifying the regulations applicable to products and functions were so time-consuming and manual."[5]

The company was accepted into Y Combinator and received seed funding in 2018.[6]

In August 2021, Regology announced an $8 million Series A funding round led by venture capital firm ACME Capital, with participation from existing investors Gagarin Capital and Pine Wave Investments.[7][8]
