Tangos AI

Tangos AI provides an autonomous investigation platform for financial institutions, government agencies, and intelligence organizations. Founded in 2025 by serial entrepreneur Eyal Azoulay, the Tel Aviv-based startup aims to resolve the operational bottleneck that occurs after a financial institution's system flags a suspicious transaction. Azoulay's inspiration came after one of his previous companies was acquired by BNY Mellon, where he witnessed hundreds of investigators manually reviewing alerts, highlighting the dependency on human investigation.

The company has developed an AI-powered investigation layer that automates the traditionally manual and resource-intensive process of investigating financial crimes. Tangos AI's autonomous agents are designed to reason, investigate, connect evidence, and generate audit-ready reports for human review. The platform's capabilities include analyzing suspicious activity, identifying beneficial ownership structures, mapping financial networks, and validating evidence from multiple sources to support investigations into money laundering, sanctions evasion, and fraud. This approach allows organizations to handle a higher volume of cases with greater speed and consistency, addressing a global shortage of experienced investigators.

The leadership team combines expertise from financial crime enforcement, intelligence, banking, and AI, including former officials from the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and senior members of Israel's national security community. In July 2026, Tangos AI announced it had raised $20 million in a seed funding round led by Red Dot Capital Partners, with participation from several other venture capital firms and a strategic investment from Bright Data. This funding is intended to scale its platform and expand its presence in the United States and other international markets.
