Our take
Ketch is a data control platform that helps companies keep on top of compliance and security by automating management of consent and data control. With data regulations developing fast, a slew of startups have cropped up to help companies streamline or automate various aspects of compliance. Ketch’s approach is, however, unique in allowing developers to tie security rules to the data itself, meaning security is set - wherever that data ends up.
Whilst Ketch was built in stealth mode bust since coming out, has already built its customer base significantly (including Patreon and Smartsheet). And with two funding rounds under the company's belt, Ketch is looking to add to its sales and go-to-market teams. This move to expand kicks off at a good time: with more people working from home, data privacy breaches are on the up, and with data regulations only becoming more complex the need to invest in compliance is becoming more urgent.
The company is in good hands to meet this demand. It was founded by the team behind data management platform Krux, which was acquired by Salesforce back in 2016. With a savvy team experienced in scaling and leading data companies, Ketch looks set to make some exciting steps in the years ahead.
