Dili
AI-native compliance platform for the industries powering America's infrastructure buildout
Last verified August 17, 2026 · Updated daily
What Dili is building
Dili is an AI compliance platform for the 'built world' — energy, infrastructure, construction, data centers, advanced manufacturing — especially projects receiving federal funding. These projects carry strict labor-compliance conditions (e.g., Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, prevailing-wage-and-apprenticeship rules) that unlock billions in funding and tax credits, and one missed requirement can put hundreds of millions at risk. Per Dili's release, 'auditors like Big Four firms KPMG, EY, PwC, and Deloitte have periodically sampled roughly 10% of data, delivered findings every six months, and taken one to two years to close an engagement,' whereas Dili checks 100% of project data in real time — combining AI extraction with deterministic rule enforcement. Roughly half of customers use it as an in-house tool; the other half outsource compliance to Dili on a contractor model.
Why this matters
Khosla Ventures leading (Vinod Khosla publicly endorsed the real-time assurance layer), with strategic backing from Allianz and construction-focused Brick and Mortar Ventures, targets a specific, timely wedge. The traction is concrete: 700+ federal projects, $1.4B+ in gross wages processed. CEO Anand Chaturvedi's line captures the pitch: 'The first time we ran a look-back on a customer's historical data, we found in four days what would have taken their consultants months to find by sampling, if they'd found it at all.'

250+Hiring outlook
The $15M Series A is explicitly to hire across engineering, product, and go-to-market. Riding a real macro tailwind (IRA, CHIPS Act, infrastructure bill, data-center buildout) with strong traction means aggressive, broad hiring in NYC.
Working at Dili
Founded in , Dili is AI-native compliance platform for the industries powering America's infrastructure buildout. They're now <50 people. For a B2B, Finance and Accounting company this size, the reality is broad remit, direct access to founders, and equity that still means something if the company works out.
Most openings are based out of New York, NY, USA.
How to actually get hired at Dili
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
At <50 people, Dili has no recruiting team. Your application lands with a founder who is also running sales, product and payroll. The obstacle isn't a queue or an ATS, it's being seen at all. Cold outreach outperforms the form here, consistently.
Who to contact at Dili
Founding team
Chaturvedi co-founded Dili in 2023 (YC Summer 2023) after seeing that high-stakes audit and diligence work still ran through email and spreadsheets. He previously built products at Coinbase tied to more than $50M in revenue, did machine-learning research at Apple, and was a Kleiner Perkins Fellow.
Fernandez co-founded Dili and leads engineering. He previously led engineering projects for core retail infrastructure at Coinbase, where he worked with Chaturvedi. Detailed prior history beyond Coinbase/Dili is thinly documented publicly.
What to show them
Show you can build reliable document-extraction and rule-enforcement systems where accuracy is non-negotiable (errors = fines). Experience with structured/deterministic validation on top of LLM extraction, or regulatory/compliance data, is the edge.
A cold email that works at Dili
What Dili screens for
Naming specific rules (Davis-Bacon, prevailing-wage-and-apprenticeship, certified payroll) and understanding the AI-extraction-plus-deterministic-enforcement architecture shows real homework. Knowing the founders are ex-Coinbase (Chaturvedi also ex-Apple ML, KP Fellow) is a plus.
Customize your CV for the Dili role. Matching the job description language helps clear ATS filters.
Don't make these mistakes
Don't pitch generic 'AI for compliance' — Dili's edge is domain depth in construction/federal labor rules (Davis-Bacon, prevailing wage, certified payroll) plus deterministic enforcement, not just LLM extraction. Reliability matters because errors trigger large fines; don't wave that away.
Mistakes that kill Dili applications
A recycled CV gets rejected fast at Dili (<50 people). They notice.
Skip 'I'm looking for...' — start with Khosla Ventures leading (Vinod Khosla publicly endorsed the real-time assurance layer), with strategic backing from Allianz and construction-focused Brick and Mortar Ventures, targets a specific, timely wedge and your specific angle on solving it.
The wait-and-hope strategy fails. Follow up on day five — response rates roughly double.
