{ Team }
An ambitious team with a strong performance culture building a best-in-class security company
Our founders previously built a unicorn: Instamart, the largest grocery delivery business in Eastern Europe with $2B in revenue. The challenges we faced with protecting customer data from security breaches and privacy violations eventually inspired us to start Soveren.
Our mission is to help leading organizations protect millions of consumer data records without slowing down their business. We have built our solution in partnership with the most innovative security leaders in Europe and the US.

Why they 💜 us
Many companies, including Airbnb, have built in-house platforms to manage sensitive data in compliance with regulations and business rules because no one tool meets their needs. I’m excited about Soveren’s potential to change this situation by providing data discovery, monitoring, and intelligence capabilities so that companies can focus on their core business, rather than divert valuable resources to build and maintain their own tools.
From my experience working with MuleSoft customers, I saw a clear and pressing need to solve the data usage and risk problem of sprawling datasets, and not knowing what was where and how data got used. Soveren is taking a unique approach to this. It's built from the ground up to listen, learn and report on data inflight without having to access existing systems or sensitive data.
Soveren is addressing one of the key technology challenges of the decade: moving away from people-centric, error-prone processes to protecting sensitive data fully automatically and reliably. Their product provides CISOs and their teams with easy-to-use tools to detect and address data security, privacy, and compliance gaps. The calibre of their seed round speaks to the pedigree of founders, and to the size of the task ahead.
At Virgin, our customers mean everything to us and treating them with respect and with world class service is at the core of the entire Virgin ethos. The way we handle their sensitive information is an important extension of this and something we take very seriously. As a family we are delighted to be investors in Soveren, whose mission and innovative technology will enable many more businesses to become better stewards of personal data.
Soveren is helping high-growth startups and medium businesses replace manual, time-consuming data security and privacy measures with automated, continuous sensitive data monitoring and control, at a fraction of complexity and cost.
Data security and privacy incidents damage your brand, growth, and ability to attract capital. With Soveren it just got easier to protect yourself from such risks.
