Protecto, a San Jose, CA-based provider of a data privacy solution across the AI lifecycle, raised $4M in Seed funding.
The round, which brought the total amount to $5M, was led by Together Fund with participation from Better Capital, FortyTwo VC, Arali Ventures and Speciale Invest.
The company intends to use the funds to strengthen its technical edge by hiring engineering talent and expanding its go-to-market strategic initiatives.
Led by CEO Amar Kanagaraj, Protecto protects enterprise data across the GenAI project lifecycle, from synthetic data generation for model development to protecting sensitive data while users interact with large language models (LLMs). Its APIs help organizations protect data and ensure compliance throughout the AI lifecycle across training, RAG/tuning, and prompts. They mask sensitive personal data while preserving the original data format and meaning, allowing AI models to understand the context and generate accurate results.
The company operates from its headquarters in San Jose, CA, and an advanced development center in the tech hub of Bengaluru, India.
