Unbound, a startup founded by former Adobe, Palo Alto Networks, and Imperva veterans, raised $4 million in seed funding to address the security, governance, and cost challenges of enterprises adopting generative AI tools.
Their AI Gateway platform helps IT teams monitor, control, and optimize the use of generative AI tools by intercepting prompts, scanning for sensitive data, enforcing access policies, and rerouting requests to appropriate models.
Unbound's platform has already prevented over 7,000 potential data leaks, reduced AI-related costs by up to 70%, and enables enterprises to maintain productivity while enforcing data privacy and compliance guardrails.
To support its growth plans, Unbound will deploy over $1 million in India for hiring, tapping into the country's demand for cost-efficient and performance-focused AI solutions.
