Votiro – a category leader in delivering safe content – announced it has raised $11.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Harvest Lane Asset Management.
What Votiro does: Votiro is transforming file security and safety by expanding it’s disarming with enhanced data detection and analytics capabilities and making them easily accessible as browser- and cloud-based services. This new funding will accelerate Votiro’s marketing and sales reach especially in North America and advance the data detection, disarm, and analytics services.
Weaponized files are considered the most common and evasive attack vectors in businesses of all sizes. And they can enter through multiple enterprise, cloud, portal, third-party, and collaboration channels.
Disarming/preventing attacks from landing on the endpoints is a major step in cyber defense. But the files also carry sensitive business data that can be compromised in use and pose operational and compliance-related risks to an organization.
With recent and forthcoming product innovations, Votiro is providing threat prevention and data privacy solutions to reduce complexity and enable greatly enhanced security outcomes. This expanding content awareness further enables deep content analysis not visible to other cyber defense layers. And by incorporating these capabilities into the Votiro ZT Cloud, frictionless business interfacing is achieved complementary with any existing IT and Security deployments.
Earlier this year, Votiro appointed Alexander Gomez as VP, GTM Sales Strategy and Execution. And Gomez joins Votiro with a proven track record of building hyper-growth digital revenue engines through previous positions held at both Alert Logic and Rackspace.

“True zero trust content security in the cloud has changed how companies can think about protection from weaponized files. It’s also changed how investors look at Votiro, as the company has now transitioned from strategic partner funding to institutional capitalization. As Votiro welcomes Luke Cummings to the board, his expertise in investment and value creation is made available to management.” This round consists of new capital and a loan-to-equity conversion, Fedde added. The round is being kept open due to discussions with other interested parties.

I look forward to working more closely with Votiro and helping them continue on their upward trajectory.”
