53,611 private equity and venture capital funds managing $16.3 trillion face mandatory BSA/AML compliance by January 2028. Vigilant Capital Analysis provides purpose-built forensic verification of capital provenance—without enterprise pricing.
For the first time in history, private funds must implement AML programs—with no infrastructure, no experience, and limited time
PE/VC funds have never done AML compliance. No systems, no trained staff, no documented processes. Starting from scratch in a two-year window.
Big 4 and enterprise AML vendors charge $500K-$2M per engagement. Same burden as large RIAs, but funds have 80% smaller budgets.
Pension funds and endowments already have AML requirements. They're asking about your compliance posture—and they're not waiting for 2028.
First-time examinees are easy enforcement targets. The SEC will make examples of funds with inadequate controls in 2028+.
Congressional investigations found $3B+ in US VC money flowed to Chinese military companies. This is bipartisan national security policy.
"Fund Took Chinese Military Money" is a career-ending headline. One bad LP can destroy a decade of reputation building.
We don't sell compliance software. We sell forensic verification of capital provenance—designed by a forensic accountant with 20+ years investigating capital structures.
VCA is purpose-built for private equity and venture capital. We understand how capital flows through funds, where evasion happens, and what regulators actually look for.

Vigilant Capital Analysis was founded to solve a simple problem: 53,611 private funds need AML compliance, and nobody built a solution for them.
Big AML vendors serve banks. RegTech platforms bolted on AML as an afterthought. Law firms give advice but no technology. The Big 4 charges $500K minimum.
We built what the market needed: forensic-grade verification at mid-market prices, designed by investigators who understand how capital actually moves through PE/VC.
