MIND, a cyber company specialising in AI-native DLP, has raised $30m in Series A funding, only seven months after emerging from stealth.
The round was led by Paladin Capital Group and Crosspoint Capital Partners, with additional backing from Okta Ventures and existing investor YL Ventures. This latest raise brings MIND’s total funding to over $40m.
Founded to address the evolving needs of data protection in the age of artificial intelligence, MIND delivers autonomous DLP solutions that prevent sensitive data loss in real time across large enterprises. The platform has quickly gained recognition for its unique approach that combines data security posture with proactive prevention in a single solution.
The fresh capital will support MIND’s plans to scale its research and development efforts and double its go-to-market teams by the end of the year. The company is focused on enhancing its proprietary platform, which automates the detection and remediation of insider threats and data leakage using business-context-aware AI models.
Since its launch, MIND has achieved rapid traction, boasting 500% growth in its customer base and securing deployments with multiple Fortune 1000 organisations. Its endpoint agent has been credited with protecting data across hundreds of thousands of devices, significantly reducing false positives and manual intervention for security teams.
MIND was recently named one of the top 10 finalists in the RSAC 2025 Conference Innovation Sandbox contest, where it stood out as the only DLP-focused startup among the contenders.
MIND CEO and co-founder Eran Barak said, “MIND was founded to help organizations thrive in the AI era and navigate the exponential growth of sensitive data in complex IT environments. Our rapid growth reflects a clear market shift toward smarter, faster and fully automated approaches to DLP and insider risk. This funding validates both our product and the market demand. With the backing of our new investors, each bringing deep expertise in data security, we’re positioned to revolutionize the DLP category, empower secure innovation and double our R&D and go-to-market teams by year’s end.”
Paladin Capital Group senior vice president Gibb Witham said, “AI is transforming how enterprises access and leverage data – but also how they lose it. As large language models make sensitive data instantly available to employees through natural language prompts, DLP has re-emerged as a critical, hair-on-fire problem. MIND has built an AI-native solution designed for this new era, unifying real-time posture and prevention in a single, modern platform.”
Crosspoint Capital Partners managing partner Greg Clark said, “As the former CEO of Symantec, which, at the time, led the market for CASB and DLP, it’s clear that today’s existing tools need to evolve in this new AI era. Enterprises need a modern and unified approach to DLP, and MIND is delivering a much-needed solution.”
YL Ventures partner Justin Somaini, who led MIND’s seed round, said, “MIND is not just improving DLP, they are fundamentally transforming it. This fundraise signals that the market is ready for a new generation of data protection built for the AI era.”
MIND previously raised funding in a seed round led by YL Ventures, contributing to its total funding of over $40m to date.
