Cloud security platform Arch0 has raised $1.25 million in its pre-seed round led by Leo Capital. The round also saw participation from Village Global, Indian Silicon Valley Capital, Appreciate Capital, SuperMorpheus, and notable angel investors.
The proceeds will be used for onboarding talent for its core team. Additionally, a substantial portion of the funds will be deployed towards advancing the use of AI in cloud security.
Arch0 also plans on strengthening its marketing and educational initiatives to educate users about the nuances of cloud security, the role of AI, and best practices for safeguarding digital assets.
Founded in late 2022 by Nithin Jois and Tilak Thimmappa, Arch0 centralises identity as the foundational element of cloud security, embedding proactive and automated security measures across the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Arch0’s solution goes over and above a ‘code-to-cloud’ strategy, operating autonomously and furnishing comprehensive insights into every security incident. This ensures swift, effective remediation, empowering businesses to elevate their cloud security, enhancing resilience and compliance.
The startup strives to introduce enterprise-grade security to medium-sized enterprises (MSEs) managing sensitive data and navigating stringent regulations. For the longer term, it also plans to rapidly evolve its offerings to address the complex security challenges faced by larger enterprises.
