When most security startups say they're “solving cloud data risk,” they mean they’re piecing together dashboards over black holes. But theom didn’t show up to decorate the edges of the problem. They’re building where the breach begins, at the data layer, and letting every other layer adjust its expectations. San Jose’s own AI-native Data Operations Center just closed a $20M Series A, and the funding isn’t the story. The clarity is.
Led by Wing Venture Capital, with SentinelOne’s S Ventures jumping in and strategic muscle from Snowflake Ventures GmbH and Databricks Ventures, this round brings Theom’s total raise to $36.4M. That’s not validation. That’s alignment, from the players that built the modern data stack to the ones now securing it. The message is loud: the old SOC isn’t enough, and data doesn’t need babysitting, it needs brains. Enter Theom’s DOC platform: cloud-native, context-first, and embedded so deeply it doesn’t have to move your data to see what’s happening to it.
Co-founded in December 2020 by a battle-tested trio, Navindra Yadav (CEO), Ravi Sankuratri (COO), and Supreeth Rao (CTO), this isn’t their first time in the fire. From Google to Yahoo to Cisco, these guys didn’t read about the scale problem, they lived it. Navindra, with 182+ patents and Cisco Tetration Analytics under his belt, knows exactly how to build enterprise muscle without dragging weight. Supreeth’s engineering brain and Ravi’s ops clarity are why Theom isn’t a science project, it’s a product with velocity.
That product has teeth. Real-time data flow monitoring across structured, unstructured, cloud, PaaS, SaaS, Gen AI, if your data is drifting, Theom’s already mapped the tide. The MITRE ATT&CK-aligned threat detection? That’s not security theater, it’s actionable. Least-privilege enforcement, prompt injection ID, ransomware
prevention, and a SAFE framework that shows, assesses, filters, and encrypts, before compliance teams even pick up the scent. And it all happens without siphoning your data into another silo. That’s not just smart. That’s necessary.
The Fortune500 and fast risers like JetBlue, Grammarly, TradeWeb Markets, and Fiserv already know. 90% reduction in manual compliance reporting, 60% cut in over-provisioned access, and ROI in one quarter for most clients. You don’t get those numbers from a pitch deck, you earn them in production.
The partnerships run deep too: Powered by Snowflake, integrated with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Databricks, and Microsoft’s Pegasus Program. Not because Theom needed the logos, but because the platforms needed the intelligence. There’s a difference.
This isn’t governance for governance’s sake. It’s security that starts where your AI dreams and compliance nightmares intersect. And it’s growing fast.
