Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Crosscheck is an AI-powered certification audit platform aimed at scheme managers, auditors and technical reviewers. Its product organizes each audit as a single structured record covering scheme, scope, sites, requirements, evidence, notes, findings and corrective actions, with specialized agents acting on that record at each stage of the workflow. Seven agents cover application review, audit planning, pre-audit document collection, on-site audit capture, report generation, non-conformity management and technical review; each drafts, links or checks material that the human auditor accepts, edits or rejects. The company states that evidence items are linked to the requirement they support and that every output shows its source, with records structured for ISO 17021 and ISO 17065 accreditation requirements including competence, impartiality, review and decision.

The platform targets evidence-heavy industries and certification schemes: textiles (GOTS, OEKO-TEX, Textile Exchange), sustainability and chain of custody (ISCC EU, ISCC PLUS, RFA, Europe Soy, REDcert, RSPO), bioenergy and renewable fuels (ISCC EU, REDcert, RSB, CORSIA), agriculture (GlobalG.A.P., EUDR, ISCC), food and feed (GMP+, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, IFS) and forestry (FSC, PEFC, EUDR). Functions include mass balance, traceability and greenhouse-gas checks before a site visit, a live mobile checklist with voice notes converted to observation text, report drafting in the customer's template, and a customer portal for corrective action requests and closure. Crosscheck states that customers retain ownership of data they provide and that it acts only as an AI service provider processing data on documented instructions.

Press coverage describes Crosscheck as an AI platform for business compliance that helps companies prepare for audits, keep documentation organized and meet international quality standards, primarily EU requirements. The initial MVP, launched in March 2024, partially automated audit report preparation from client documents; the company says a draft report is generated in about two minutes versus two to three hours of manual work. The system uses several AI models, including OpenAI, Gemini and Claude, for different task stacks, with Cursor used as an aggregator of LLMs for code generation.

Founding story

The company was founded in 2023 by Bohdan Dreihaupt (CEO) and Nikita Fordui, initially building an MVP for internal auditors and companies undergoing mandatory certification.

Business model

B2B SaaS. The platform is sold on a subscription basis with paid features and fees disclosed at purchase, and coverage reports enterprise SaaS contracts with internal auditors as well as paid pilot projects.

Paid subscriptions to the SaaS platform; coverage cites four enterprise SaaS contracts with internal auditors preparing for certification and paid pilot projects.

Traction

Reported metrics include four enterprise SaaS contracts with internal auditors, a pipeline of about 70 audit companies representing roughly 200 potential users, a 3x increase in platform usage since the pivot and open beta launch, and first confirmed US pilots. The company claims 12 hours of busywork saved per audit, 100% evidence-to-requirement linkage and 3x faster non-conformity management, and says its report drafting takes about two minutes against two to three hours manually.

Latest developments

In December 2025 Crosscheck completed the Techstars New York accelerator, presenting at the December 4 Demo Day, and secured $220,000 from Techstars consisting of a $200,000 uncapped MFN SAFE and a $20,000 Post-Money Convertible Equity Agreement, with Techstars receiving 5% of the company in common stock. The funds are intended for product refinement and marketing and sales. The company reported a 3x increase in platform usage since its pivot and open beta launch, and said it is preparing for a seed round whose size had not been determined.

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies

Market position

Positions itself as audit-workflow software for certification bodies, independent auditors and technical reviewers across sustainability, food, agriculture, forestry, textiles and bioenergy certification schemes, emphasizing that agents prepare work while humans retain findings, non-conformity closure and certification decisions.

Human-in-the-loop design in which agents draft, link and check but auditors and technical reviewers issue findings, close non-conformities and make certification decisions; full traceability from each report sentence back to source evidence; and record structures aligned with ISO 17021 and ISO 17065 accreditation requirements.

Technology

A multi-agent AI system built on several third-party large language models (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude), each handling different task stacks, with Cursor used as an LLM aggregator for code generation. The platform performs document analysis and evidence-to-requirement linking, mass balance, traceability and GHG calculation checks, voice-note transcription into observation text on a mobile checklist, and templated report generation in which each sentence links back to the underlying document, note or photo. Accept, edit and reject actions are logged, and records are structured for ISO 17021 and ISO 17065 accreditation.

Go-to-market

Direct enterprise sales supported by demo requests on the company website, paid pilot projects and accelerator-driven networking. Following its Techstars pivot the company changed its go-to-market strategy, launched an open beta, and focused on US client traction, with a pipeline of nearly 70 audit companies representing around 200 potential users and a goal of completing three paid pilots in the agro and bioenergy sectors and engaging around 20 bioenergy-market auditors.

Certification scheme managers, certification bodies, independent auditors, technical reviewers and internal auditors at companies undergoing mandatory certification, in industries including textiles, agriculture, food and feed, forestry, bioenergy and renewable fuels, and chain-of-custody sustainability programs.

Geography

Headquartered in New York and registered in Delaware, with a five-person team working from Ukraine, Estonia and Brazil. The company describes a network in both New York and Kyiv, targets compliance primarily with EU requirements, and has first confirmed pilots in the US.

History

Crosscheck was founded in 2023 by Bohdan Dreihaupt and Nikita Fordui, and launched its MVP in March 2024. In October 2024 it was among ten startups receiving a $25,000 grant from the Ukrainian Startup Fund, supported by the Ukraine-Moldova American Enterprise Fund. It raised roughly $450,000 in pre-seed funding in May 2025 and extended the round to $700,000 in August 2025. The company joined the Techstars New York accelerator, a three-month program with a December 4, 2025 Demo Day and eight participating startups, during which it pivoted its product and go-to-market approach; Techstars invested $220,000, bringing total funds raised to $920,000.

Risks & controversies

The company's terms note that AI-generated content is informational only, should be reviewed by qualified professionals, and that it does not guarantee accuracy or completeness of AI recommendations, with final certification decisions resting with authorized certification bodies. The company also undertook a significant product and go-to-market pivot during the accelerator program.
