  • Auditocity

    Participated · Seed · Nov 2025

    Auditocity is a woman- and minority-owned HR technology company founded by Dr. Gia Wiggins after nearly three decades in HR leadership. Its cloud-based platform replaces manual, spreadsheet-driven processes with an intelligent system that uses AI to deliver real-time compliance insights, risk detection and issue prioritisation. The software integrates with leading HRIS providers such as Paycor, Paylocity and UKG, allowing customers to audit employee files and policies from a single dashboard. Future product plans include enterprise and consulting editions, 50-state compliance coverage, multi-client management, AI-powered analytics, issue complexity scoring and an educational portal called Auditocity University. The company is headquartered in Alabama and is expanding nationwide. To fuel this growth and product roadmap, Auditocity raised $2 million in seed capital. No revenue or user figures were disclosed in the article.

  • Sure Med Compliance

    Participated · Series A · Oct 2022

    Sure Med Compliance is a Mobile, Alabama–based digital health company led by CEO John Bowman. Its core product is the Perspectives in Care platform, an electronic patient‑reported outcome system shown to improve outcomes in pain management settings. The technology pairs that outcome platform with a private marketplace that lets life‑sciences companies advertise products to physicians at the point of care. The company plans to nationally scale the Perspectives in Care platform and to build two additional platforms focused on orthopedics and addiction medicine. Financially, Sure Med Compliance completed a $1M Pre‑Series A raise to fund those expansion plans. The round included a $250k state grant component through the Innovate Alabama Supplemental Grant program. Sure Med Compliance develops tools and services to improve opioid-prescribing compliance, including training, chart auditing, software integration, and written diversion control plans. Its Care Continuity Program (CCP) is described as the first and only Active Verification software solution available to patients outside the office; CCP helps identify a patient’s suitability for opioid therapy before a physician prescribes. The company says it has had significant impact on prescribing habits in the Southeast United States and has become the market leader in opioid prescribing compliance. With the recent award from NIDA, SMC plans to further product development, conduct clinical research, and measure patient outcomes. The company will also leverage advisement and mentoring from NIDA’s scientific research entrepreneurship experts to refine and prove its approach.
