Teleskope, a New York-based cybersecurity startup, raised $2.2M in Pre-Seed funding.
The round was led by Lerer Hippeau.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its business reach.
Founded in 2022 by Elizabeth Nammour and Julie Trias, Teleskope empowers organizations to achieve data security, privacy, and compliance through automation, reducing the manual and operational burden on security teams. It uses large language models, which are continuously fine-tuned and optimized for speed and cost, to identify the data subject associated with the data, such as a customer, employee, or differentiate between customer types, such as doctors and patients.
Teleskope can, within minutes, monitor cloud data stores and third-party vendors, providing a comprehensive inventory of assets, including hidden ones, and identify their security and compliance risks. Its advanced classification engine, powered by a large language model and rules engine, is able to adapt to each unique data store – identifying sensitive data and providing actionable context on who the data is about. The Teleskope AI model is trained to learn each unique customer implementation to further increase its accuracy.
The company supports structured and unstructured data stores across popular cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, and Snowflake, as well as third-party SaaS, identifying over 100 data types, including personal, payment, healthcare, and sensitive data.
