Teleskope Raises $25M to Bring Human-Level Intelligence to Data Security

Teleskope, a company pioneering “agentic” data security for the AI era, has raised $25 million in Series A funding led by M13, with continued backing from Primary Venture Partners and Lerer Hippeau, bringing its total funding to $32.2 million.

The funds will fuel product innovation, expansion, and go-to-market growth as Teleskope accelerates adoption of its agentic data security platform—the first of its kind designed to operate like a human security team at scale.

Teleskope’s platform autonomously discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments. It uses a multi-stage AI pipeline to understand context, apply company-specific policies, and automatically detect, prioritize, and remediate risk in real time. This “human-like” intelligence allows organizations to protect data proactively while confidently adopting AI technologies.

Founder and CEO Elizabeth Nammour, a former Airbnb security engineer, created Teleskope after experiencing firsthand the limitations of legacy tools in managing massive, fragmented data ecosystems.

“Teleskope gives enterprises a fully agentic platform that can automatically detect, contextualize, and remediate risk,” said Nammour. “It’s like having a 24/7 embedded security team.”

Teleskope’s platform is already used by organizations such as Ramp, LegalZoom, Alloy, GoFundMe, and The Atlantic. The company also announced Karl Alomar, Managing Partner at M13 and former COO of DigitalOcean, has joined its board to help guide its next growth phase.
