In an era where regulation and law are becoming increasingly complex, Vulcan Technologies is positioning itself as a category leader with its cutting-edge AI legal cartography system. Backed by Y Combinator (S25), Vulcan is already working with U.S. states and federal entities to streamline compliance and regulatory navigation.

The platform replaces slow, costly consulting processes with instant compliance checks and AI-powered legal drafting, mapping the intricate relationships between statutes, regulations, and case law across jurisdictions. This allows policymakers and enterprises to act faster, with higher accuracy and significantly reduced costs.

Vulcan has already secured contracts with the Commonwealth of Virginia, the U.S. Department of Education, and regulatory reform initiatives in South Carolina. Most recently, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin signed an Executive Order making the state the first in the U.S. to integrate AI into regulatory processes statewide – with Vulcan at the center of the initiative.

“We believe AI should strengthen democratic institutions,” says CEO Tanner Jones, a Dartmouth College graduate and former Technology Policy Director at the Cicero Institute. “As AI gets better, our Republic should get better too.”

With strong traction, policy experience, and backing from Y Combinator, Vulcan Technologies is not only building a scalable business but shaping the future of how governments and enterprises interact with the law.
