AI security startup Mirror Security has raised $2.5 million in a pre-seed funding round from Sure Valley Ventures (SVV) and Atlantic Bridge.
The company plans to use the money to hire more engineers and AI security experts in Ireland, the US, and India. It will also speed up the development of its products for encrypted inferencing and secure fine-tuning, and expand its presence in the US enterprise market.
“AI is transforming productivity and reshaping industries, but unsecured data flows pose an urgent risk that threatens to stall adoption. Our mission is bigger than protecting data–we are building the trust layer for the AI economy,” said Pankaj Thapa, Co-founder and CEO, Mirror Security.
“Mirror Security is building the encryption layer for AI–setting a new standard for how data is protected across the AI ecosystem. We look forward to supporting the Mirror team as they scale this breakthrough technology globally,” added Barry Downes, Managing Partner, Sure Valley Ventures.
Founded in 2024 by Pankaj Thapa and Aditya Narayana K, Mirror Security is a cybersecurity startup focused on protecting Generative AI systems and securing encrypted data.
The company is a research-driven spin-out from University College Dublin and now operates across Ireland, the US, and India.
Mirror Security enables enterprises to use AI safely by ensuring that their data stays completely confidential during both training and inference.
Its FHE-powered platform, VectaX, allows AI systems to work with sensitive information without ever revealing or exposing the data.
