Clario’s platform connects into enterprise file and content systems such as Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, and Confluence to scan metadata and surface redundant, obsolete, and trivial files. When files are flagged, Clario triggers intelligent workflows via Slack and Teams that prompt customers to keep, archive, or delete items, and the company reports it only gets paid when customers make one of those decisions. Over time the product learns from customer decisions to build an autonomous system that routinely cleans and maintains unstructured data. The company says it has engaged with hundreds of enterprises and is already working with several marquee organizations; early customer analysis reportedly uncovered terabytes of garbage data across multiple environments. Clario’s founders bring enterprise operating and engineering backgrounds including a five-time CIO and an engineering leader with experience at Oracle, NetApp, Nutanix, and VMware. The company is based in Menlo Park, California.

Feroot offers an always-on AI-agent platform that automates discovery, analysis, and remediation of security and privacy-compliance issues across websites, payment pages, healthcare pages, iFrames, and other web or mobile applications. The system performs deep discovery and maintains a real-time single source of truth, then uses reasoning and generative AI to verify compliance and detect security gaps in seconds rather than months of manual work. Its technology addresses the growing cost of non-compliance, helping customers avoid litigation, fines, and insurance denials tied to GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and dozens of other laws. Feroot’s research has been cited by U.S. lawmakers examining national-security risks in apps such as TikTok and DeepSeek, and CEO Ivan Tsarynny recently testified before the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission. Current customers include Reddit, Forbes, and Xerox. The company has raised $25 million in venture funding to date and plans to use its new capital to grow the engineering team, open additional offices, and expand into the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
