Klarytee raises £263k for its data-centric security platform

Protecting sensitive information within AI pipelines and regulated environments is the core focus of Klarytee Ltd, which has just secured an estimated £263.7k in new funding. This latest investment values the London-based company at approximately £8.7m.

Founded in 2021 by Dr. Nithin Thomas, Vladimir Plotean, and Elisabetta Zaccaria, Klarytee develops a data governance platform designed for sectors handling mission-critical or legally privileged information, such as Defence and National Security. The software operates directly on the data itself, providing discovery, cataloguing, and fragment-level encryption. This approach allows access and usage policies to remain cryptographically bound to specific data elements even as they are shared or transformed.

The platform is specifically designed to secure AI systems, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. It governs both inputs and outputs for human users and AI agents, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected throughout the lifecycle of an AI interaction. The technology is backed by granted patents in both the UK and the US and is built with post-quantum readiness in line with NCSC and NIST guidance.

This funding follows a series of smaller rounds as the company has scaled its valuation. In June 2023, Klarytee raised £218k at a valuation of £8.4m. Prior to that, the company secured £100k in April 2022 at an £8.2m valuation and £200k in December 2021 at a £6.2m valuation. The most recent round involved a filing in May following an allotment of shares in April.

Financial filings for the year ended 31 December 2024 recorded one employee, though current LinkedIn data indicates the team has grown to six people. The company remains headquartered in London and maintains full ownership of its software platform.
