Skyflow is a data privacy technology company founded in 2019 that provides a Data Privacy Vault delivered via simple APIs to secure sensitive data like PII, PCI, and PHI.[1][2][6] It serves enterprises in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and AI-driven applications, solving the challenge of protecting customer data while enabling usability for analytics, AI pipelines, and compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, and SOC 2.[1][4] Skyflow's platform allows safe data storage, sharing, and processing without exposing raw sensitive information, powering innovation in data-heavy environments; the company has shown strong growth, raising $17.5M in Series A (2020) and $45M in Series B (2021), earning Forbes' #2 ranking in Security among America's Best Startup Employers in 2025 (#17 overall).[2][5]
Skyflow was co-founded in 2019 by Anshu Sharma (CEO), a serial entrepreneur and former Salesforce VP of product and strategy, and Roshmik Saha, an engineering leader with 15+ years at Microsoft and as founder of Lyft's Autonomous Vehicle Platform Team.[1][2] The idea emerged from the need to transform how businesses handle financial, healthcare, and personal data fueling the digital economy, inspired by zero-trust Data Privacy Vaults used by Apple and Netflix.[2] Early traction included a $17.5M Series A in December 2020 and rapid expansion, with integrations like Snowflake in 2022 and recognition in outlets like TechCrunch and VentureBeat.[5]
Skyflow rides the data privacy and AI security trend, where exploding volumes of sensitive data in GenAI, ML, and analytics demand protection amid regulations and breaches—timing amplified by post-GDPR/HIPAA enforcement and AI hype.[1][2][4] Market forces like rising compliance costs, data sovereignty needs, and LLM "snooping" risks (as noted in Fast Company 2024) favor its architecture, which offloads privacy to a specialized vault, letting companies innovate faster.[4][5] It influences the ecosystem by integrating with platforms like Snowflake, setting a standard for privacy-as-a-service in the modern AI data stack, trusted by Fortune 500s and backed by VC momentum.[2][5][6]
Skyflow is positioned to dominate as privacy becomes table stakes for AI and data platforms, with expansions into more AI safeguards and global compliance likely next amid 2025 recognitions.[5][6] Trends like stricter AI regs and multi-cloud adoption will propel growth, evolving its influence from vault provider to essential "privacy fabric" across tech stacks—building on founder expertise to capture share in a $100B+ security market. This cements Skyflow's role in securing the data powering tomorrow's digital economy.[1][2]
Skyflow has raised $98.0M across 4 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $27.0M Series B in March 2024.
