Apheris is on a mission to collaboratively solve the largest problems our planet is facing by enabling organizations to securely build and deploy data applications and AI across boundaries. Our product enables governed, private, secure data access for ML and analytics. As model architectures become increasingly commoditized, data becomes an organization’s key differentiator. However, businesses need to safeguard their data assets and IP while leveraging it for ML. The Apheris Compute Gateway ensures only approved computations can be launched on that data and enables federation across organizational boundaries, allowing ML-powered insights with no need to centralize data, while ensuring compliance with data privacy, security, and governance obligations. Founded in 2019, Apheris is backed by top investors and tech industry innovators, including Octopus Ventures, Heal Capital, LocalGlobe, another.vc, MuleSoft founder Ross Mason (Dig Ventures), and Twitter board chairman and former CFO of Google, Patrick Pichette.
