Bead is building AI agents for Internal Audit teams, automating repetitive work in a $70B industry.

Auditors spend endless hours on manual tasks: chasing documents, comparing screenshots, and populating excel sheets. Our AI agent handles grunt work, so auditors focus on judgment and strategy – and the business saves 60% of the cost. We’re starting with Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance – audits that cost $2m+/year in salaries for every US listed company.

CEO at Bead AI

Alexey Zanin

I am an exited founder, who then led Compliance at Meta. And that’s where I discovered how manual, slow, and inefficient internal audits were.
