Teleskope, a company redefining data security for the AI era, has raised $25m in Series A funding led by M13, with continued backing from Primary Venture Partners and Lerer Hippeau.
The new capital brings its total funding to $32.2m and will fuel expansion, product innovation, and go-to-market growth.
The company has built what it calls the first agentic data security platform—an AI-driven system that mimics human security teams by automatically identifying, classifying, and protecting sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments. It also takes real-time, autonomous action to remediate risk and enforce compliance.
Teleskope plans to use the funds to accelerate hiring and enhance its platform’s capabilities as more enterprises look for scalable, intelligent security solutions. Its system is powered by a proprietary multi-stage classification pipeline that applies machine learning to detect misconfigurations, link them to regulatory frameworks such as NIST and GDPR, and prevent risk before it escalates.
Teleskope CEO and founder Elizabeth Nammour said, “When I was a security engineer at Airbnb, I faced the challenge of cataloging and classifying hundreds of petabytes of data across dozens of platforms, and the tools we used simply couldn’t keep up.
“That experience showed me what was possible if we built a platform that thinks and acts like a human security team. With this new funding, we’re taking Teleskope to the next level: giving enterprises a fully agentic platform that can automatically detect, contextualize, and remediate risk, so they can confidently adopt AI and protect their data at scale.”
Aprio LLP chief information security officer Lock Langdon said, “Teleskope has completely changed how we approach data security.
“We’re using it not just for comprehensive data security posture management, but also to manage data retention. For the first time, we have a platform that not only finds sensitive data across our systems but also understands context and takes action automatically. It feels like having a full data management team embedded in our environment, giving us confidence to innovate while keeping our data protected.”
As part of the funding announcement, M13 managing partner Karl Alomar has joined Teleskope’s board of directors. Alomar brings significant operational and investment expertise, having previously scaled DigitalOcean from startup to public company.
