MIND raises $72M Series B for AI-native DLP
MIND, an AI-native data loss prevention platform, said it raised $72 million Series B led by Crosspoint Capital Partners with YL Ventures and Paladin Capital Group, bringing total funding to $112 million about a year after a $30 million Series A — capital to scale “Stress Free DLP” as enterprises put GenAI and agents on corporate data.
FINANCE desk — a clear same-day disclosed-$ Series B wiring capital into AI-native DLP just as enterprises push GenAI and agents onto sensitive data, with a named lead investor and $112 million total.
The round was led by Crosspoint Capital Partners, with participation from existing investors YL Ventures and Paladin Capital Group. The company says the raise brings total funding to $112 million, just a year after a $30 million Series A. File the $72 million figure, the Series B label, the Crosspoint lead, those named participants, the $112 million cumulative line, and the year-later $30 million Series A as MIND’s. This desk is not inventing a valuation, an ownership split, or a check size. None was printed.
Growth claims on the same wire, company-attributed — do not independently certify: in the past year MIND says it achieved over 17x revenue and 8x customer growth, analyzed billions of data events in real time across GenAI, Agentic AI, and IT environments, and stopped sensitive data loss across hundreds of thousands of endpoints. The CEO line on the same page calls MIND an “eight-figure revenue” business trusted by dozens of customers, less than two years after emerging from stealth. File those 17x / 8x / billions / hundreds-of-thousands / eight-figure-revenue lines as MIND’s. This desk did not sit on the books, count customers, or invent an exact ARR dollar number. The wire does not print one.
Product, as the same wire has it: MIND calls itself an AI-native data loss prevention platform, or DLP — tools that stop sensitive data from leaking to the wrong place, including ChatGPT and agents. The company brand for that job is “Stress Free DLP.” It says it launched MIND AI DLP Agents, which autonomously take on the day-to-day work of running a DLP program: discover, classify, detect, remediate, and prevent across SaaS, GenAI, Agentic AI, endpoints, on-premise file shares, and email. File that Stress Free DLP / AI DLP Agents / five-job / SaaS-to-email picture as MIND’s. This desk did not run an agent or sit with a security team.
Company claims on the same wire — attribute, do not independently verify: MIND says it was the first data-security firm accepted into Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, and the first to earn ISO/IEC 42001 certification for responsible AI. ISO/IEC 42001 is a published standard for how an organization manages AI responsibly. File those first-accepted / first-to-earn lines as MIND’s wording. This desk did not check Anthropic’s roster or an auditor’s certificate.
Named voices on the release: Eran Barak, co-founder and CEO of MIND; Conrad Band, CIO of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles; and Mark DeCarlo, senior manager of security engineering and technology at National Geographic Society. Barak says security leaders are being asked to protect data that moves at AI speed with tools built for a slower world, and that this is the moment to reinvent DLP. Band says MIND lets the hospital discover and block protected health information — PHI, the patient data hospitals must keep private — from entering AI tools across endpoints. DeCarlo says MIND identifies and labels sensitive documents, restricts public sharing, and gives visibility into where and when data interacts with AI agents. File the names, titles, and those attributed lines as theirs, via MIND. Their other sentences stay in Sources. This is not investment advice.
Use of proceeds and home, still company: the investment will help MIND expand across key enterprise markets, deepen strategic technology and channel partnerships, and scale its team. Headquarters: Seattle, Washington. Company URL: https://www.mind.io/. File that expand / partnerships / scale-team / Seattle picture as MIND’s. This desk did not sit in a board meeting and is not inventing a headcount.
Plain English for the rest of the card: DLP = data loss prevention, tools that stop sensitive data from leaking to the wrong place — including ChatGPT and agents. Series B = a growth venture round after product-market fit, later than Series A. GenAI = generative AI, the chat-and-create tools people paste work into. Agentic AI = software that takes steps on its own, not only writes an answer. AI DLP Agents = MIND’s name for software that runs day-to-day DLP work without a person clicking every case. Stress Free DLP = the company’s brand for that simpler, AI-native approach. PHI = protected health information, the patient data hospitals must keep private. ISO/IEC 42001 = a published standard for managing AI responsibly. eight-figure revenue = company phrasing for yearly sales in the tens of millions — not an exact ARR number this desk invented.
PRIMARY here: MIND’s 17 Sep 2026 PR Newswire company release at 08:00 ET — Tier A PRIMARY company source, the original record. The mind.io company home is product-home context, not a second originating newsroom. The $72 million Series B, the Crosspoint Capital Partners lead, YL Ventures / Paladin Capital Group, the $112 million total-funding line, the year-later $30 million Series A, the 17x / 8x / billions / hundreds-of-thousands / eight-figure-revenue claims, Stress Free DLP and MIND AI DLP Agents, the discover / classify / detect / remediate / prevent jobs across SaaS, GenAI, agents, endpoints, on-prem shares, and email, the Anthropic Cyber Verification / ISO/IEC 42001 firsts, the Barak / Band / DeCarlo titles and attributed lines, the expand / partnerships / scale-team spend plan, and the Seattle headquarters are company-attributed. Growth figures, product behavior, and the Anthropic / ISO firsts stay company-attributed — not independently audited here. NOT claimed: a valuation, an exact ARR dollar number, independently verified revenue or customer counts, that this desk verified the Anthropic or ISO claims, that this desk tested the product or saw a term sheet, a stock tip, or investment advice. Distinct from the already-filed loora-22m-series-b, hackuity-19m, footprint-25m-series-b, ox-cloud-ga, cloneguard-private-ai, and esentire-atlas-aidr.

On 17 Sep 2026 MIND announced $72 million in Series B funding. Series B is a growth venture round after Series A — later than a first seed check, earlier than a late-stage C or D. The company PRIMARY is MIND’s PR Newswire release “MIND Raises $72M Series B Funding to Bring Complete DLP to the AI Era,” dated September 17, 2026, 08:00 ET, SOURCE MIND, and datelined SEATTLE. That company wire is the filing event. These are company claims. This desk did not see the term sheet or open the console.
