Antler Australia has pre-seed invested in workplace security solution company, Aona AI.
Aona AI is developing a comprehensive platform to tackle the security and compliance challenges of AI adoption, following a robust three-step integration process.
The startup discovered that 55% of employees are using unauthorised AI tools, while 70% of respondents had never undergone training or received guidance on using Generative AI safely and ethically in the workplace.
Aona AI has initiated pilot programs with clients in highly regulated industries, such as financial services, mining, healthcare, and law.
Antler’s pre-seed investment helped Aona AI establish a robust technology stack, build out the core functionalities of its platform, and obtain certifications such as IS27001 and SOC2.
Current customer base of Aona AI includes organisations with over 750 employees.
Antler Partner, James McClure believes Aona AI brings an end-to-end solution for responsible AI usage, data security, and process optimisation.
Aona AI is working closely with the Federal Government’s National AI Centre to provide feedback on responsible AI standard regulations for Australia.
The startup is actively pursuing the ASEAN market, extending its reach into Southeast Asia.
Aona AI plans to continuously innovate in their product suite, incorporating advanced features.
