Data loss prevention (DLP) startup Jazz on Tuesday emerged from stealth mode with $61 million in combined seed and Series A funding.
The company’s investment rounds were led by Glilot Capital Partners and Team8, with additional support from Encoded Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, Merlin Ventures, Ten Eleven Ventures, and angel investors.
Founded in 2024 by Israeli intelligence veterans, Tel Aviv-based Jazz is transforming DLP into a system that understands data usage and explains intent, context, and risk.
The startup uses a forensic endpoint agent for visibility into how data is used and relies on an autonomous Agentic Investigator to learn business processes, analyze the context of users, data, systems, and processes to determine intent, and distinguish between legitimate workflows and risks.
The approach, Jazz says, reduces daily DLP noise within large enterprises to a minimum, allowing security teams to focus on incidents that matter.
Already working with dozens of customers, Jazz aims to scale globally within the enterprise segment. The new investment will allow it to expand its engineering, research, and go-to-market teams.
“Traditional DLP was built on rigid rules that don’t understand how modern work actually happens, which leaves teams drowning in noise while real risks slip through,” said Jazz CEO and co-founder Ido Livneh.
“Jazz changes that by deeply understanding intent and context in every incident, finally delivering meaningful risk reduction without slowing the business down,” Livneh added.
