We are excited to continue to support Gadi Evron, Sounil Yu, and the Knostic team on their journey of securing enterprise AI! Kris Harms Hironobu Maeda
Building a world-class AI security company at Knostic | CISO-in-Residence for the Professional Association of CISOs
Knostic has raised $11 million, bringing us to a total of 14.3. It's time to end LLM oversharing so?enterprises can safely adopt technologies like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Glean, without worrying about data leaks. Beyond our first 9 deployments, this year has been incredible as far as validation goes. From winning RSAC's Launch Pad and Black Hat's Startup Spotlight competitions to being chosen as SVCI's bet in the space -- we are grateful. Thank you Fernando Martins ???????? and the Bright Pixel Capital crew for believing in us, DNX Ventures - US for always stepping in to help, Seedcamp for speaking truth - especially when it's uncomfortable, and SVCI - Silicon Valley CISO Investments for being one of the best vertical investor and support systems I've seen. Also joining us for the round are angel investors Kevin Patrick Mahaffey, who has doubled down on his investment yet again (now three times!), Gerhard Eschelbeck, Keith B., Zach Jakob, and Elad Cohen. We also appreciate all our investors so far, thank you for trusting us early on. Startups aren't easy, in fact - they're stress, embodied. But, nothing compares: the team, the mission, and getting things done for customers. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you Sounil Yu and to the whole team for joining me on this journey. https://lnkd.in/d3S3GffE #informationsecurity #cybersecurity #LLM #AI #artificialintelligence #copilot #oversharing #hacking #startup #fundraising
