Endiya Partners invests in Matters.AI, a cybersecurity startup for GenAI era.

Matters.AI, an AI-native data security startup, has raised ₹55 crore (≈ US $6.25 million) to accelerate its flagship product: a system that can think ahead to stop data leaks before they happen. Unlike traditional tools that flag incidents after the fact, this “AI Security Engineer” uses semantic graphs and predictive intelligence to understand context, data movement, and intent. The funding will support R&D, expansion to the U.S., and compliance with India’s upcoming Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) regulation, especially in highly regulated sectors. #AINews #matters #skillcursor

Big news! We’re honored to welcome Alberto Yépez, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Forgepoint Capital, to the Human-AI Consortium. A pioneer in cybersecurity and trusted innovation, Alberto brings decades of leadership experience as an investor, founder, and board member guiding some of the most impactful companies in digital trust, privacy, and enterprise security. At Forgepoint, he’s helped shape a portfolio of over 30 companies advancing responsible innovation across security, identity, and risk — bridging technology, governance, and resilience. In the AI Native Startup Playbook, Alberto Yépez reminds us: “The old SaaS pricing playbook doesn’t work for AI. AI-native startups must adopt hybrid and outcome-based models that demonstrate clear ROI. Enterprises will only pay for AI if it delivers measurable business impact.” His perspective underscores a central theme of our mission — that the next generation of AI innovation must balance value creation with responsible growth. Our Human-AI Consortium unites global leaders across venture, enterprise, and governance to: - Advance ethical and deployable AI innovation - Align capital with accountability - Bridge cybersecurity and governance frameworks for AI adoption With Alberto joining the council, we’re doubling down on the belief that security and ethics must evolve hand in hand with scale.  Stay tuned for our next Council announcement — and explore the AI Native Startup Playbook for more insights on enterprise-ready AI: https://lnkd.in/gM4ZmBjr #AITrust #EthicalAI #VentureCapital #Cybersecurity #AIAdoption #ResponsibleInnovation #HumanAIConsortium #EAIGG Anik Bose Emmanuel Benhamou BGV EAIGG: Ethical AI Governance Group

The GenAI Gold Rush: What Investors Are Really Funding in 2025 Capital is flowing fast - but it’s not chasing every AI idea. Everyone’s talking about the GenAI boom, but investors in 2025 have learned one thing: not all prompts turn into profits. The gold rush isn’t over - but investors have learned to tell the gold from the glitter. Here’s what’s actually getting funded: 1) Problem-first startups: Real-world pain points over shiny prototypes. 2) Vertical AI tools: Solutions built for industries — not for everyone. 3) Data-rich companies: Founders with access to unique, clean, and defensible datasets. 4) Execution-driven teams: Teams who understand AI’s limits as much as its potential. The new investor mindset? Less hype, more proof. They’re chasing founders who turn AI into business value, not just clever demos. In this new era, code and capital aren’t enough - clarity and context win. The founders thriving in 2025 are the ones using GenAI not just to build faster, but to think deeper. The real question: Are you chasing the AI trend - or shaping it? #GenerativeAI #StartupStrategy #Innovation #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #Startups #MBALife #BusinessStrategy #FutureOfWork #Leadership #Innovation #BIBSMBA #BIBSCollege #BIBS

🤝🔒 Building Digital Trust in the Age of Smart Technology In today’s world, trust has become the new currency of the digital economy. According to Deloitte’s 2025 Digital Trust Survey, 87% of consumers say they’re more likely to choose companies that are transparent about how they use AI and data. At the same time, 78% of organizations investing in AI trust frameworks report higher customer retention and brand reputation. As a founder at TENO PROJECT INC., I see this every day that building technology is no longer just about efficiency or automation. It’s about creating confidence that data is handled responsibly, systems are secure and people remain at the center of every interaction. When users trust the digital environment, they engage more openly, collaborate more effectively and adopt innovation faster. ✅ Best practices for building digital trust: - Be transparent about how data is collected, stored and used. - Design security and privacy into your systems from day one. - Combine AI-driven automation with human oversight to ensure fairness and accountability. - Communicate clearly and consistently as trust grows with clarity. 👉 How do you nurture digital trust with your clients, users or partners?

🚨 Most companies are choosing between AI productivity and data security. But what if you didn't have to choose? Nexos.ai just raised €30M Series A at a €300M valuation to solve this exact problem. Here's why this matters for every business leader: The reality most executives face: → Employees are already using AI tools (whether you know it or not) → 73% of companies have experienced AI-related data breaches → Blocking AI tools kills productivity and innovation → Allowing unrestricted access creates massive security risks Nexos.ai's solution? They call it "Switzerland for LLMs." Their platform sits between your employees and AI tools, acting as a secure gateway that: ✅ Prevents sensitive data from leaking to external AI models ✅ Maintains full productivity with 200+ AI models ✅ Gives IT teams complete visibility and control ✅ Allows employees to work with AI safely The founders? The same team behind Nord Security (you know, NordVPN). They understand cybersecurity at scale. With backing from Index Ventures and Evantic Capital, they're not just building another AI tool. They're building the infrastructure that lets enterprises embrace AI without compromising security. This is exactly the kind of solution that separates forward-thinking companies from those stuck in "AI paralysis." The companies that figure out secure AI adoption first will have a massive competitive advantage. The ones that don't? They'll be playing catch-up for years. How is your company balancing AI innovation with data security?
