Belgian startup Raito, has raised €4 million in a seed funding round.
The startup aims to help data teams improve productivity through the simplification of data access management.
Founded by Collibra’s former Product Manager for Data Privacy Bart Vandekerckhove and Vice President for Engineering Dieter Wachters, Raito’s €4 million seed round was co-led by Dawn Capital and Crane Venture Partners with a host of angel investors hailing from Collibra, Showpad, and Harbr participating.
Addressing the wild west that data access requests have become, so much so that some data teams have simply thrown their collective hands in the air and said ‘access for all, job done, Raito’s approach provides data analysts faster access to data, removes the burdensome data access requests from data engineers, and gives the keepers of the data keys the tools to control, monitor and report on data usage.
Ultimately, this helps companies avert the consequences of not meeting privacy regulations and avoid any painful data breaches that have become all too popular in today’s news cycle.
Raito is now launching to customers in Europe and North America, targeting mid-sized organizations, with between 100 and 3000 people.
