Berlin-based cybersecurity company enclaive, a deep tech firm specialising in confidential computing, has closed a €4.1m Seed round to help organisations protect sensitive data and applications across multi-cloud environments.
The funding round was co-led by Join Capital and the Amadeus APEX Technology Fund, with participation from Auriga Cyber Ventures. enclaive said the capital will be used to accelerate sales and marketing, expand functionality in its enclaive Multi Cloud Platform (eMCP), and support further international expansion.
The company positioned the raise against a backdrop of growing AI adoption, stricter data laws and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, arguing these pressures are turning cloud usage into a “high-stakes compromise”. It highlighted what it called a “last mile” problem for security and compliance teams: protecting data while it is actively processed, not just when stored, which it said can slow cloud migration in areas like the public sector, finance, healthcare, critical infrastructure and AI.
enclaive said it addresses this bottleneck by enabling organisations to deploy applications in “secure enclaves” across any cloud provider, keeping data protected at all times without requiring changes to existing code, tools or processes.
Andreas Walbrodt, co-founder and CEO of enclaive, said, “Cloud adoption has moved faster than trust. As companies push AI and sensitive workloads into multi-cloud environments, they need security guarantees that go beyond policy and perimeter defenses.
“With enclaive, businesses don’t need to trust the cloud – their data, microservices, and AI models are shielded from unauthorised access at every moment. We’re making confidential computing accessible for any organisation, regardless of technical expertise.”
Prof. Dr. Sebastian Gajek, co-founder and CTO, added, “Confidential computing has existed in academia for years, but remained inaccessible to most organisations. The breakthrough is hardware-based memory encryption that only the CPU can unlock—we’ve built the software layer that makes this technology deployable in days, not months.”
