OVERVIEW
SaaS and AI technologies are revolutionizing how we work, enabling teams to move faster and innovate. Yet these advances introduce new risks around data privacy and security. Metomic exists to protect sensitive data wherever it lives - in SaaS apps like Slack, Google Drive, or in AI-driven tools and workflows.
We build technology that integrates seamlessly with SaaS and AI ecosystems, automatically detecting and safeguarding sensitive information, while letting organizations use modern tools without fear. Our customers include forward-thinking companies like Revolut, Octopus Energy, and Crypto.com. In 2023, we raised a $20 million Series A to fuel our mission of redefining data security for the age of SaaS and AI.
