Aurva

Aurva builds a data security posture management (DSPM) and data detection-and-response platform centered on connecting every data access event, whether from a human, a service account, or an AI agent, back to a real identity in real time. That last category is the company’s central bet: as organizations wire LLM-based agents into internal data stores, existing DSPM tools built around human and service-account access patterns don’t cleanly capture what an autonomous agent touched or why, and Aurva is positioning specifically to fill that gap.

Founded by former Meta security and AI engineers Apurv Garg and Krishna Bagadia, who previously worked on Meta’s internal data security systems, the company emerged from stealth in September 2025 with a $2.2 million seed round led by Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from DeVC and individual investors including former Meta executives and Postman’s co-founders. It is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with an additional office in Bangalore, India.

As a company only months removed from stealth, Aurva has no independently reported customer names and no third-party evaluation of its detection accuracy publicly available; its platform claims should be read as early-stage and largely unverified pending real-world deployment evidence, notwithstanding a strong founding-team and investor pedigree.
