Teleskope, a company redefining data security for the AI era, has raised $25m in Series A funding to accelerate adoption of its agentic data security platform.
The round was led by M13, with continued participation from Primary Venture Partners and Lerer Hippeau, bringing the company’s total funding to $32.2m.
The New York-based firm is pioneering what it calls the industry’s first agentic data security platform, capable of acting like a human security team at scale. Its technology automatically discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments. The platform can apply company-specific policies, interpret context, and take real-time, autonomous action to remediate risk.
The fresh capital will support Teleskope’s growth strategy, funding expansion of its product capabilities and go-to-market operations. The company also plans to continue hiring across data science, engineering, and commercial teams as it scales globally.
Teleskope’s platform is built around a proprietary multi-stage classification pipeline that uses lightweight machine learning models to direct data to specialised AI engines for contextual analysis.
It continuously detects misconfigurations, maps them to regulatory frameworks such as NIST, GDPR, and CIS, and enforces compliance at the infrastructure level.
Teleskope CEO and founder Elizabeth Nammour said, “When I was a security engineer at Airbnb, I faced the challenge of cataloging and classifying hundreds of petabytes of data across dozens of platforms, and the tools we used simply couldn’t keep up.
“That experience showed me what was possible if we built a platform that thinks and acts like a human security team. With this new funding, we’re taking Teleskope to the next level: giving enterprises a fully agentic platform that can automatically detect, contextualize, and remediate risk, so they can confidently adopt AI and protect their data at scale.”
Aprio LLP chief information security officer Lock Langdon said, “Teleskope has completely changed how we approach data security.
“We’re using it not just for comprehensive data security posture management, but also to manage data retention. For the first time, we have a platform that not only finds sensitive data across our systems but also understands context and takes action automatically. It feels like having a full data management team embedded in our environment, giving us confidence to innovate while keeping our data protected.”
As part of the funding announcement, M13 managing partner Karl Alomar has joined Teleskope’s board of directors. Alomar brings significant operational and investment expertise, having previously scaled DigitalOcean from startup to public company.
