Acuvity, a United States-based visibility and governance platform for AI application usage in enterprises, has successfully raised $9 million in seed funding. The round was led by Foundation Capital, with participation from notable investors including Jonathan Siddharth, CEO of Turing, and other angel investors.
Founded by Satyam Sinha, former VP of Engineering at Palo Alto Networks, and Antoine Mercadal, Acuvity’s purpose is to address the growing concerns surrounding AI adoption in enterprise environments. The platform offers comprehensive visibility, governance, and granular controls over employee use of AI applications.
As AI adoption accelerates, enterprises face increasing risks of data breaches and non-compliance. Incidents, such as Samsung’s internal data leak through ChatGPT, highlight the critical need for robust AI governance solutions.
Acuvity distinguishes itself by employing a novel approach that combines classical machine learning with Large Language Models (LLMs) to monitor AI usage. The platform is designed to:
- Enforce safe AI usage policies
- Monitor confidential data leakage
- Ensure compliance with data protection regulations
“As AI takes data into a new stratosphere, there’s an opportunity for a company to both govern AI usage and protect the data involved.” said in the statement from Foundation Capital.
With the new funding, Acuvity plans to accelerate product development and expand its current 15-person team.
