1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Anupam Rastogi, General Partner of Emergent Ventures (Part 3)

Anupam Rastogi: I’ll talk about a more recent investment. They’re in the privacy space. They’re helping developers develop code that is more privacy-friendly. There are a lot of these regulations including GDPR in Europe where you need to be careful about what data is being stored, how it’s being stored and processes. Developers have to manually think about that.

This company has built a set of scanners to understand the privacy implications. That has a lot of intelligence around understanding what libraries are getting called. We co-led the seed round there. This was more in the pilot stage. We connected them to several people from our network who are close to the space, we sat through some of those meetings and got a good handle that this seemed like a wide need.
