Theom Secures $20M Series A to Lead the Future of AI-Driven Data Governance

Published

Wing VC leads funding to advance Theom’s vision of building the industry’s first Data Operations Center (DOC) for enterprise data and AI.

Theom, the pioneering AI-native Data Operations Center (DOC) platform designed to streamline AI & data governance and security, announced a successful $20 million Series A funding round. Led by Wing VC, the round also saw participation from Sentinel One, Snowflake, and Databricks.

 

This infusion of capital will support Theom in accelerating product innovation, enhancing go-to-market capabilities, and expanding its team to address the growing enterprise need for robust data protection across cloud, PaaS, SaaS, and generative AI environments.

As enterprises increasingly adopt Gen AI, they encounter a pressing challenge: maintaining consistent governance and security of sensitive data as it traverses diverse data platforms, applications, and AI models. Theom tackles this problem head-on by providing real-time data identity insights, data usage monitoring, and AI-driven prioritization – positioning data, rather than infrastructure, as the new security boundary

“Security has historically focused on infrastructure and access — but in the AI era, data is the new perimeter,” said Navindra Yadav, co-founder and CEO of Theom. “Our platform puts data context, usage and risk intelligence at the core of governance and security operations, helping teams move fast without compromising customer trust.”

Built for a Data-First World

Traditional Data Governance and DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) tools weren’t designed for today’s dynamic environments, where data moves between different environments, apps, and AI systems. Theom is reimagining the category with a platform purpose-built for the modern enterprise.

The Theom platform automatically:

  • Discovers and classifies sensitive data across structured and unstructured sources
  • Monitors real-time data flows across cloud, PaaS, SaaS, and Gen AI environments
  • Surfaces business-contextual risk and prioritizes threats based on real-world impact
  • Delivers proactive policy enforcement and remediation — before issues become incidents
  • Bridges the gap between SOC and Data Operations Teams

Trusted by Leading Enterprises

Since emerging from stealth, Theom has gained rapid traction with Fortune 500 companies and high-growth enterprises such as FiServ, Grammarly, TradeWeb and JetBlue. Customers rely on Theom to ensure continuous compliance, prevent insider threats, enforce least-privilege access, and securely activate their data for AI — even as data is shared across Gen AI tools, third-party apps, and distributed teams.

This momentum has drawn the attention of top-tier investors and strategic partners who see Theom’s approach as essential to the future of secure, AI-ready data infrastructure.

“I’ve spent the last 20 years with category-defining companies in data and security, from FireEye and Ruckus to Cohesity and Shape, and I’ve seen firsthand how each wave of innovation reshapes the stakes,” said Gaurav Garg, Co-Founder and Partner at Wing VC. “Traditional governance, compliance and security solutions were never designed for the way AI and agentic applications touch the enterprise data estate.  Theom is the first platform I’ve seen that delivers detailed and nuanced access policy and usage based control over the enterprise data estate, necessary for businesses to use their proprietary and internal data in AI applications. Navindra is building the right solution for this new reality.”

That combination of technical depth and practical impact has also resonated with leading enterprise data platforms.

“At Databricks, we are committed to making it easier for our customers to put trustworthy data and AI into production,” said Andrew Ferguson, VP of Databricks Ventures. “Theom helps enterprises do just that. Its AI-native Data Operations Center extends the governance foundation of Unity Catalog across multicloud, SaaS, and generative-AI workloads, giving our joint customers end-to-end visibility and control. Their success in demanding, regulated enterprises proves the platform can scale today, and we’re excited to deepen our partnership as more organizations build on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.”

This alignment with Databricks highlights how Theom complements existing governance architectures by adding dynamic, AI-driven oversight across increasingly fragmented data environments.

“Snowflake Ventures’ investment in Theom reflects our strong belief in the critical need for intelligent, automated data security governance,” said Harsha Kapre, Director, Snowflake Ventures. “Theom’s impressive traction in the financial sector – an industry with some of the most stringent security requirements – validates its technology and approach. We see Theom as a key Snowflake partner transforming how organizations protect and govern their data assets, particularly as data environments become increasingly complex.”

This endorsement from Snowflake underscores the trust leading data cloud providers are placing in Theom’s platform. Its ability to perform in highly regulated industries like financial services reinforces the strength of its real-time, AI-driven governance model — and signals its value to enterprises seeking smarter, more adaptive security frameworks.

“At SentinelOne’s S Ventures, we invest in bold ideas that redefine what’s possible in cybersecurity, data and AI – startups that will create fundamentally new categories or upend entire market segments,” said Rob Salvagno, SVP Corp Dev and Head of S Ventures. “We believe Theom is poised to create a fundamentally new category in data. Theom isn’t just improving data security—it’s reimagining it. With a fundamentally new approach to governance, control, and intelligence, Theom is building the foundation for how enterprises will secure data in the age of AI.”

These strategic investments reflect a shared conviction: that Theom is not just solving today’s data security and governance challenges — it’s building the blueprint for how data will be governed in an AI-driven future.

Theom integrates with widely used enterprise platforms — including Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Okta, Slack, Collibra, Splunk, and leading generative AI tools — to provide comprehensive visibility and control over sensitive data at scale.

About Theom

Theom is the AI-native data operations center platform that governs and protects sensitive enterprise data everywhere it lives — in apps, clouds, and AI models. Purpose-built for the modern data stack, Theom combines AI & data discovery, governance, insider threat detection, and real-time policy enforcement into a single intelligent platform. Enterprises rely on Theom to stay continuously compliant, secure data movement, and prevent breaches — without slowing innovation. Learn more at www.theom.ai.

Samuel Drnda Rejects Multi-Million Dollar Acquisition Offers — Staying Independent to Build the Future of Decentralized Trading

Published

November 3, 2025

By

While competitors get absorbed by exchanges, HyroTrader’s founder focuses on building the world’s first decentralized, multi-exchange prop trading infrastructure.

Prague, Czech Republic, 3rd November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE— In an era where billion-dollar acquisitions reshape the trading landscape, Samuel Drnda, founder and CEO of HyroTrader, made a bold and defining decision — he refused multiple acquisition offers worth tens of millions of dollars, choosing vision, innovation, and independence over a lucrative exit.

The offers followed the high-profile acquisition of Breakout by Kraken, one of HyroTrader’s main competitors. Shortly after, Drnda was approached by two of the world’s largest forex prop trading firms and one of the biggest global crypto exchanges, each seeking to fully acquire and absorb HyroTrader’s rapidly growing trading ecosystem.

“Each offer had the same condition — total control,” said Drnda.
“They wanted to buy everything we’ve built and integrate it into their structure. But HyroTrader was never built to be sold. It was built to change how the prop trading industry works.”

A Vision Too Big to Sell

Founded in 2020, HyroTrader quickly evolved from a trading platform into one of the fastest-growing crypto prop trading firms in the world, empowering over 30,000 active traders and achieving consistent month-over-month growth.

By 2024, HyroTrader was featured multiple times as the “Best Crypto Prop Firm” by leading trading and fintech media outlets — a recognition that reflected both its innovation and trader-first approach.

Today, HyroTrader is setting a new global standard with Hyro Protocol, the first decentralized, non-custodial crypto prop trading infrastructure built on Solana.

“From day one, our vision was to build a decentralized prop firm connected to multiple trading exchanges — a true on-chain ecosystem where traders, investors, and liquidity providers interact transparently,” said Drnda.
“We’re not just another prop firm. We’re creating the infrastructure for the next generation of crypto prop trading firms.”

From Bootstrap to Billion-Dollar Vision

HyroTrader’s rise is even more remarkable because it was built entirely without venture capital.

“In the early days, no VC wanted to invest even $200,000. We decided to bootstrap everything from scratch,” said Drnda.
“Now, the same institutions that once ignored us are offering tens of millions to acquire us. That’s the power of staying true to your mission.”

Today, HyroTrader operates profitably and independently, already valued in the hundreds of millions and on track toward becoming the first decentralized billion-dollar prop trading ecosystem.

Beyond Money: The Power of Purpose

Despite the life-changing offers, Drnda’s decision to remain independent was rooted in conviction, not calculation.

“I come from a middle-class family — the offers I received would have changed my life,” he said.
“But I’ve already achieved more than I ever dreamed of. At this stage, it’s not about money; it’s about building something meaningful with people I believe in and creating real impact for traders worldwide.”

After the refusal, Drnda earned even greater respect from the HyroTrader team, partners, and trading community, strengthening the company’s culture of purpose-driven innovation.

“Many founders dream of an exit. I dream of evolution — of building a decentralized, transparent, and trader-owned future.”

The Next Phase: Hyro Protocol

With Hyro Protocol, Drnda and his team are developing the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms.
Built on Solana, the protocol will connect multiple trading exchanges into one unified infrastructure, allowing traders, investors, and liquidity providers to interact seamlessly and verifiably on-chain.

“Our mission is to democratize access to trading capital, remove intermediaries, and empower traders globally,” said Drnda.
“Hyro Protocol isn’t just another product — it’s the infrastructure that will power the decentralized trading economy.”

About HyroTrader

HyroTrader is one of the fastest-growing and most recognized crypto prop trading firms in the world, empowering more than 30,000 traders with performance-based funding and transparent trading conditions.
Featured multiple times as the “Best Crypto Prop Firm,” HyroTrader is now building Hyro Protocol — the first decentralized, non-custodial, multi-exchange trading infrastructure on Solana.

Founded by Samuel Drnda in 2020, HyroTrader’s mission is to democratize access to trading capital and build the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms.

November 3, 2025

By

Merrick Hollander has introduced a next-generation AI-powered learning infrastructure at Harborstone Society, designed to transform financial education through adaptive analytics, real-time simulation, and intelligent curriculum design.

United States, 3rd Nov 2025, Grand Newswire – Building the Foundation for Intelligent Learning

Under the direction of Merrick Hollander, Harborstone Society has launched an advanced educational infrastructure that integrates artificial intelligence with interactive learning systems. The initiative aims to modernize the financial education landscape by merging academic theory with practical, data-driven experiences.

Merrick Hollander Announces Next-Generation Learning Infrastructure at Harborstone Society

The new framework is designed around modular AI architecture, allowing learners to progress through adaptive stages that align with their performance and comprehension. By analyzing behavioral data and simulation outcomes, the system customizes each student’s learning path—creating a more personalized and efficient educational process.

Integrating Technology and Education

This next-generation infrastructure incorporates predictive analytics, behavioral modeling, and real-time data visualization. Learners can experiment with simulated market conditions, test investment strategies, and analyze risk within controlled virtual environments.

According to Hollander, “Financial learning should reflect how markets behave—not how they’re described in textbooks. With AI and simulation, education becomes a living system that evolves with the learner and the world economy.”
This approach empowers students to experience decision-making in real time, building practical competence alongside theoretical understanding.

Adaptive Design for Modern Finance Professionals

The infrastructure also includes the integration of smart evaluation tools that continuously monitor cognitive performance, analytical reasoning, and emotional decision tendencies. These adaptive feedback systems ensure that each participant strengthens not only technical proficiency but also the discipline and critical thinking essential to professional finance.

Harborstone Society’s approach combines classroom education, applied AI systems, and live data environments to cultivate professionals who can adapt to the rapid evolution of modern financial systems.

Global Collaboration and Research Expansion

The project extends beyond institutional education, with Harborstone Society planning partnerships with universities, research centers, and fintech organizations worldwide. These collaborations aim to expand AI learning methodologies and create a unified academic ecosystem for data-driven investment education.

Through this initiative, Hollander reinforces his long-standing commitment to bridging the gap between artificial intelligence, behavioral economics, and practical finance.
