Irish data security company Getvisiblity raises €1.25m
Summary
The start-up has developed proprietary software that uses artificial intelligence to discover, classify and protect unstructured data typically contained in PDFs, spreadsheets and text documents. “We’ve made Getvisibility available in Arabic as a lot of the AI stuff is coming out of Israel and for obvious geopolitical reasons companies in the Middle East don’t want to use it,” Mr Murphy. Following the fundraise, Sure Valley partner Brian Kinane is to join Getvisibility’s board along with software industry veteran Ferras Zalt, founder of IT consultancy business Softtech. The company has a world-class team and technology and, given its total addressable market is $4 billion today, Getvisibility’s opportunity is vast,” said Mr Downes, managing partner at Sure Valley Ventures. Prior to establishing Sure Valley Venture, Mr Downes was founder of Feedhenry, a Waterford-headquartered mobile software developer that was sold to US multinational company Redhat for more than €60 million, in 2014.
