Regulated industries are getting harder to build in.

Compliance is eating the roadmap

SOC 2, ISO 27001, Essential Eight. Enterprise customers and insurers are asking questions founders can't answer alone.

Regulators are catching up

Privacy Act reforms, HIPAA enforcement, new cyber insurance requirements. The bar keeps rising.

The Big 4 aren't built for startups

$30K+ engagements, 8-week timelines, and a graduate doing the work. Founders deserve better.
