Privado, a Delaware, US-based open-source static code analysis tool to discover data flows in the code, announced that it raised $14 million in Series A funding, bringing Privado’s total amount raised to $17.5 million.
The round was led by leading global investors Insight Partners and Sequoia Capital India, with participation from Together Fund and Emergent Ventures.
The funding will be used to enhance Privado's technology stack, build out the team, and grow its open-source community.
With this funding, Privado will be able to continue its mission of Shifting Privacy Left and truly enable developers to build products and apps with privacy embedded from the start rather than bolted on later.
Privado will launch a privacy code scanning solution that brings together developers, security, and privacy team and provides them with instant visibility into the use, collection, and sharing of personal data across their products and infrastructure.
