Kindo is an enterprise AI security platform offering centralized governance, fine-grained access controls, data loss prevention, and audit logging for commercial, open-source, and private AI models. The platform provides API-based orchestration, integration with 200+ enterprise SaaS applications, and support for on-premise, cloud, and hybrid deployments. Kindo targets CIOs and CSOs at mid-size and larger enterprises and already serves multiple customers, including publicly traded companies and Red Rock Entertainment. In conjunction with its recent financing, Kindo acquired the open-source WhiteRabbitNeo cybersecurity model and plans to invest in that community while packaging the model into its product. The company will use the new capital to accelerate product development, advance R&D on AI security and management, expand sales and marketing, and grow the team. Founded in 2022 by Ron Williams, Kindo has raised $27.6M to date and employs 23 people, positioning itself as a neutral orchestration layer for enterprise AI rather than a platform that owns all apps. Kindo is a self-serve AI platform built to give enterprises back-end integration and centralized governance for AI usage. The platform connects to private, open-source and commercial models (including ChatGPT and Google Bard) and supports more than 200 SaaS integrations to enable no-code, AI-powered workflows. Kindo provides security teams visibility and control with PII and content filters (it can filter PII before the AI model sees it), centralized access and permissions, audit logs, and usage analytics for prompts, data and workflows. The company targets functional end users and mid-market customers that lack heavy data-science investments while also engaging larger enterprises. Kindo was co-created by former Google engineer Bryan Vann and former OpenAI employee Margaret Jennings and is led by CEO Ron Williams, who previously ran security teams at Riot Games, Bird and Clover Health. The company started in August last year and raised $7 million in a seed round in June.
