ABOUT NARALIN
Entity intelligence infrastructure for institutional workflows.
Naralin builds the data layer that compliance, risk, and intelligence teams use to identify, score, and monitor entities across global regulatory datasets — starting with a single API call.
THE PROBLEM
Compliance infrastructure wasn't built for how teams work today.
Legacy platforms — World-Check, Refinitiv, Dow Jones — cost $50K–$500K per year, require 6-week procurement cycles, and were built for analysts clicking through UIs. Not engineers building products.
Building in-house means 6–12 months of engineering time just to normalize and deduplicate 40+ data sources. Most teams abandon the effort before they ship.
Manual compliance is legally indefensible and doesn't scale. When you're onboarding hundreds of counterparties a month, spreadsheets and PDF reports break.
The mid-market — Series A to Series C fintechs, lenders, payment processors — has no good option. Enterprise tools are too expensive. In-house builds are too slow. The gap is real.
WHAT WE DO
Naralin is an entity intelligence platform. Pass any company or person name. Get back a complete risk picture — sanctions exposure, PEP classification, offshore appearances, beneficial ownership, and composite risk score — in under 200 milliseconds. The full database of 100M+ entities across 500+ authoritative sources, accessible through a single REST endpoint and official Python and TypeScript SDKs.
OUR APPROACH
Three principles that shaped every decision.
Developer-first
Compliance infrastructure has been locked behind enterprise contracts for 20 years. We believe the right way to fix this is to make the API so easy to use that a developer can integrate it before procurement gets involved — the same way Stripe changed payments. No contract required to start. Sandbox keys ship with every SDK.
Data depth over breadth
Anyone can aggregate a sanctions list. The hard problem is normalizing 500+ sources with different schemas, resolving entity identities across jurisdictions, and delivering a single canonical record that's accurate enough to make a compliance decision. That's what we built.
Transparent pricing
No custom quotes for mid-market customers. No 6-week procurement. Start free, scale as you grow. If you can read a pricing page, you can budget for Naralin.
THE PLATFORM VISION
We started in compliance because it's the highest-urgency, non-optional problem — every regulated company must do this. But the entity graph we've built has value far beyond KYC. The same infrastructure that tells a fintech whether a business is sanctioned can tell a procurement team whether a supplier is connected to a blacklisted entity, or tell an M&A team whether a target's board has hidden offshore exposure. Entity intelligence is the foundation. The platform is what gets built on top of it.
VERTICALS
WHY NOW
The timing is structural, not opportunistic.
Regulatory pressure on fintechs is accelerating — global AML frameworks, enforcement agencies, and financial conduct authorities are all tightening simultaneously.
The number of fintechs, neobanks, and embedded finance platforms that need compliance infrastructure has grown 10x in 5 years.
Prediction markets, crypto exchanges, and DeFi platforms are entering mandatory AML territory for the first time.
The tooling hasn't kept up — the incumbents are 20-year-old enterprise software companies that haven't shipped a meaningful API in a decade.
WHO WE SERVE
Seed — Series C
Developer-led fintechs
Teams that need compliance infrastructure without an enterprise contract. Install the SDK, get an API key, start screening.
Scaling companies
Compliance teams
Analysts who want a modern terminal for investigations alongside the API their engineers already integrated.
Enterprise
Banks & financial services
Institutions replacing legacy World-Check and Refinitiv contracts with faster, cheaper, API-native infrastructure.
THE DATA
Real sources. Real coverage. Updated daily.
VALUES
Transparency
Structured errors with doc URLs. Public status page. No hidden pricing. If something breaks, we tell you what happened and why.
Accuracy over speed
We'd rather surface a confident match than a fast guess. False negatives in compliance have real consequences — fines, license revocations, reputational damage.
Developer respect
Sandbox keys. Official SDKs. Honest docs. We don't make developers jump through hoops to evaluate us. If the API doesn't sell itself, nothing will.
Privacy by design
We screen entities, not individuals. We store no PII about your end users. Your data stays yours.
