Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals
Updated Jul 29, 2026
Axis is a New York-based YC W22 regtech / corporate-affairs intelligence startup that helps enterprise corporate affairs teams track, understand, and act on regulations, stakeholders, news, and market developments across global markets. Public sources consistently describe it as a knowledge base / strategic information platform with feeds, maps, profiles, daily briefs, and search. Public funding data is inconsistent across third-party sources, so this profile uses the company/LinkedIn-confirmed $125k seed round and omits unverified additions.
