US tech startup Knostic just raised USD 11 million led by Bright Pixel Capital. This additional funding will enable Knostic to further their mission to secure Large Language Models (LLMs), thus empowering enterprises to adopt the use of AI for search capabilities such as Microsoft 365 Copilot and Glean. With this technology, businesses can lock down sensitive data and safely accelerate AI adoption without compromising security.

Portuguese VC Bright Pixel Capital was the lead investor in the new funding round for Knostic, and other investors include SVCI – Silicon Valley CISO Investments, DNX Ventures – US, Seedcamp, as well as business angels such as Kevin Patrick Mahaffey, Gerhard Eschelbeck, Keith B., Zach Jakob and Elad Cohen.   

According to the CEO and Founder of Knostic, Gadi Evron: “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.”

The founder of startup Knostic adds: “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.”
