Enkrypt AI raises $2.35M to build a visibility and security layer for Gen AI

Enkrypt AI

Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) present an opportunity for enterprises to gain new efficiencies and improve functionality, however, the safety and security of such technology remains an obstacle. Enkrypt AI is today announcing a $2.35M funding round to solve this problem for enterprises, ensuring their use of generative AI and LLMs is safe, secure and compliant. The seed funding round was led by Boldcap with participation from Berkeley SkyDeck, Kubera VC, Arka VC, Veredas Partners, Builders Fund and angel investors in the AI, healthcare and enterprise space. Enkrypt AI was founded by two Yale PhDs and AI practitioners Sahil Agarwal (CEO) and Prashanth Harshangi (CTO) in 2022. With Enkrypt AI, enterprises have a control layer between these LLMs and end-users, providing security and safety functionality. Enkrypt AI Sentry has been able to reduce vulnerabilities across a wide range of LLMs, demonstrating a reduction in jailbreaks from 6% to 0.6% in the case of LlaMa2-7B. The Enkrypt AI team has previously developed and deployed AI models across diverse sectors, including the US Department of Defense and various businesses in self-driving cars, music, insurance and fintech. Enkrypt AI’s Sentry is the only platform that combines both visibility and security for generative AI applications at the enterprise, so that enterprises can secure and accelerate their Generative AI Adoption with Confidence. A leading Fortune 500 data infrastructure company is using Sentry to have complete access control and visibility over all their LLM projects, helping them to detect and mitigate LLM attacks such as jailbreaks and hallucinations, and prevent sensitive data leaks. This is ultimately leading to faster adoption of LLMs for even more use-cases across departments. Sahil Agarwal, Co-founder and CEO of Enkrypt AI commented: “Businesses are really excited about using LLMs, but they're also worried about how trustworthy they are and the uncertain regulatory landscape. Based on our conversations with CIOs, CISOs and CTOs, we are convinced that for LLMs to be widely adopted, it must be built on a foundation of security, privacy, and compliance. With Sentry, we are merging visibility and security, to ultimately align with and support adherence to regulatory frameworks like the White House Executive Order on AI, the EU AI Act, and other AI-centric regulations, laying the groundwork for safe and compliant AI integration.” Prashanth Harshangi, Co-founder and CTO at Enkrypt AI commented: “As the benefits of AI become ever more tangible, so do the risks. Our platform does more than just detect vulnerabilities; it equips developers with a comprehensive toolkit to fortify their AI solutions against both current and future threats. We're championing a paradigm where trust and innovation coalesce, enabling the deployment of AI technologies with the confidence that they are as secure and reliable as they are revolutionary.” Enkrypt AI is proven to help enterprises accelerate their generative AI adoption by up to 10x, deploying applications into production within weeks compared to the current forecast of 2 years within enterprises. Their comprehensive approach addresses the key concerns causing hesitation among enterprise decision-makers: Delivers unmatched visibility and oversight of LLM usage and performance across business functions. Ensures data privacy and security by protecting sensitive information and guarding against threats. Manages compliance with evolving standards through automated monitoring and strict access controls. The safety of AI has been a key concern for policymakers and experts. Earlier this month, the US Government’s NIST standards body established an AI safety consortium. In an era where generative AI is becoming a transformative force across industries, safeguarding these systems goes beyond best practice – it's a necessity. Sahil Agarwal added: “Our mission at Enkrypt AI is to provide the tools that allow enterprises to not only harness the incredible potential of generative AI but to do so with the utmost confidence in the security and compliance of their applications. With the support of our investors and the advanced capabilities of our platform, we are setting a new standard in AI safety – protecting users and organizations against emerging threats while enabling the wider adoption of AI innovations in a responsible manner.” Sathya Nellore Sampat, General Partner at BoldCap - “We are super excited to be backing practitioners like Sahil and Prashanth who are at the intersection of Security and Gen AI. Enterprise security is non-negotiable. With the explosive growth of Gen AI and LLM usage within companies, the attack surface has dramatically increased. Enkrypt is the command center to control, monitor and have visibility across Gen AI initiatives.” About Enkrypt AI Enkrypt AI, co-founded by Yale PhDs Sahil Agarwal and Prashanth Harshangi, is pioneering the safe adoption of Generative AI within enterprises.

HomeSphere Revolutionizes Home Product Management With AI-driven My HomeSphere App

HomeSphere

HomeSphere, the foremost platform connecting building product manufacturers to mid-market homebuilders, today launched My HomeSphereTM, an industry-changing mobile app and product suite designed to bring transparency and efficiency to home product management. Unlike any other product available today, the app benefits players along the homebuilding and buying supply chain, with distinct value to builders, manufacturers and homeowners. Visit HomeSphere at the NAHB International Builders’ Show in Booth W4051 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. My HomeSphere: Transforming Home Product Information The My HomeSphere product suite empowers builders to use their smartphones to capture essential information about products in new homes while on-site, during installation. The data, encompassing appliances, HVAC systems, windows, doors, smart technology and more, syncs seamlessly with HomeSphere’s platform. HomeSphere’s proprietary AI automatically logs model and serial numbers, registers and tracks warranties in a single platform, and creates a comprehensive digital record of the home — with little effort from the builder or homeowner. “HomeSphere is the only company positioned to change data collection for the industry,” said HomeSphere CEO Greg Schwarzer. “We store the largest volume of U.S. home product information through our strong relationships with thousands of homebuilders and building product manufacturers, and we know what’s broken in the supply chain. My HomeSphere is the technology to fix it.” Changing the Landscape of Home Product Management My HomeSphere has the potential to redefine how building products are sourced, tracked and maintained, ushering in a new digital era for the home construction industry. Key Features of My HomeSphere: Creates a first-of-its-kind digital record of a home's products Enhances transparency within home product management Breaks down longstanding supply-chain silos in residential construction Addressing Industry Challenges Before My HomeSphere, builders installed products in homes without knowing how they performed, product manufacturers lacked clarity on product usage, and homeowners were left to fend for themselves, wading through a drawer full of manuals and registration cards. With My HomeSphere: Builders get a precise inventory of products installed in completed homes, simplifying after-sales issue resolution and increasing customer satisfaction. Homeowners gain “at their fingertips” information about the products in their homes so they can capitalize on valuable extended warranty opportunities, typically unclaimed. Building product manufacturers have — for the first time — clarity into where products are being used and by whom, facilitating customer relationships, mitigating risks and managing issues such as product defects or recalls. The Future of Home Product Management In the short term, My HomeSphere streamlines a fragmented supply chain burdened with outdated tracking methods. In the long term, HomeSphere anticipates further technological advancements to create an expansive network connecting the country’s 140 million homeowners with the manufacturers, contractors and installers that keep their homes running. “Each year in the U.S., millions of new homes are built, with an average of 15 branded products per home,” said HomeSphere Executive Chairman Glenn Renner. “No single company has ever captured this product data, yet it represents unprecedented value to homeowners, builders and product manufacturers. Our mission is to change that with a digital record of the U.S. housing stock accessible to millions of homeowners and the entire universe of builders, contractors and manufacturers. The My HomeSphere technology, paired with our experience, uniquely positioned us to execute this industry-changing vision.” About HomeSphere HomeSphere is a leading data platform connecting the residential construction industry. With 25 years of experience, HomeSphere aggregates data on products installed in over 250,000 homes annually, fostering transparency and efficiency throughout the process, from the product manufacturer to its end user, the homeowner. My HomeSphere represents a leap forward in home product management, revolutionizing how information is sourced, tracked and maintained.

How AI is Transforming Healthcare and Saving Lives

MarketJar

Artificial intelligence (AI) is completely transforming everyday life. From entertainment to transportation, AI is being used to make our lives easier and more efficient. But none of those applications compare to its life-altering impact on healthcare. AI is an absolute game-changer for the healthcare industry, helping save countless lives through precision medicine, robotics-assisted surgery, and connected devices. It’s also becoming increasingly valuable in identifying complex illnesses at an earlier stage. AI-powered diagnostics leverage machine learning algorithms to analyze diverse data like medical records, genetics, and scans for early disease detection by identifying subtle patterns and anomalies often missed by human doctors. AI's rapid and precise data processing highlights subtle health changes, potentially revealing underlying diseases or risk factors. For instance, AI can review mammograms to detect early-stage breast cancer not visible to the naked eye. Over the next five years, the AI healthcare market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1%, jumping from $20.9 billion in 2024 to $148.4 billion by 2029. As Big Pharma companies roll out bold AI plans for the coming years, one company is developing and acquiring technology and clinical expertise to create an AI-driven medical powerhouse that supports doctors, curbs rising healthcare costs and improves patient outcomes. HEALWELL AI Inc. (TSX:AIDX) (OTCQX:HWAIF is a physician-led healthcare technology company that is focused on AI and data science for preventive care. In a whirlwind four months since its debut on the Toronto Stock Exchange, HEALWELL AI has rapidly gained financial strength, securing approximately $29.5 million and firmly establishing itself as a savvy capital allocator in the AI healthcare space after completing two transformative acquisitions. AI Accelerated Preventive Healthcare Late last year, HEALWELL AI secured a majority stake in Pentavere, a globally recognized, award-winning AI healthcare company specializing in identifying eligible patients for approved treatments. With a successful history of real-world evidence studies and key hospital network collaborations, Pentavere's DARWEN™ AI technology carries validation from global pharmaceutical leaders and has garnered recognition in renowned publications worldwide. The Pentavere deal will provide several key benefits including significant top-line revenue growth through Pentavere's established client base and successful commercialization of real-world evidence studies, strong partnerships with major hospital networks in Canada and the US to expand HEALWELL 's market reach and grant access to new patient demographics, and a team of AI engineers with invaluable to fortify the company's technological capabilities. Following the completion of the acquisition, Pentavere introduced DERMAID, an innovative Real-World Evidence (RWE) solution tailored for Dermatologists and life sciences firms. Leveraging the DARWEN™ AI platform, DERMAID extracts actionable clinical insights to enhance patient care decisions in dermatology. The product has quickly gained traction in the market and has already engaged in commercial activities with multiple leading pharmaceutical companies. HEALWELL AI Inc. (TSX:AIDX) (OTCQX:HWAIF also just finalized the acquisition of Intrahealth Systems, a multinational SaaS-based EHR (Electronic Health Record) provider supporting 15,000 clinicians that care for millions of patients in its global network across Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In 2024, Intrahealth is projected to generate over $12 million in revenue, showing double-digit organic growth. Historically, the company has maintained strong financial performance with over 80% gross margins, positive EBITDA, and positive cash flow. Moreover, more than 80% of its revenue comes from recurring sources, which are highly profitable. HEALWELL 's strategic vision involves a deep integration of its cutting-edge AI tools with Intrahealth's platform to pioneer a next-generation AI-powered EHR, aligning with Value-Based Care (VBC) trends and empowering healthcare providers to achieve better health outcomes at reduced costs. HEALWELL has solidified its support structure through a strategic partnership with WELL Health Technologies, the largest clinic group in Canada. WELL Health has invested in each of HEALWELL 's financings, making them the largest shareholder and helping position HEALWELL as a leader in AI-enabled healthcare technology in North America. The alliance between WELL Health and HEALWELL led to the launch of the WELL AI Decision Support service for healthcare providers. This new service is designed to be highly adaptable and is expected to grow over time. Initially, WELL AI Decision Support will enable healthcare providers to accurately identify over 150 complex or rare diseases that are often overlooked by traditional methods. HEALWELL AI is actively pursuing a robust pipeline of potential acquisitions, having evaluated over 100 opportunities to date. Heading into 2024, the company is in talks with various parties to identify new investment and acquisition targets.
