TouchBrick

TouchBrick, founded in 2021 by Shayra Antia and based in Tampa, Florida, is an early-stage startup building AI-driven data privacy agents that connect directly to databases, data lakes, and servers to scan and classify sensitive information. The company describes a network of what it calls Sentinels that share training data and compute across deployments, intended to improve threat and sensitive-data detection over time as more customers use the product.

A second stated pillar of the product is enabling AI training on sensitive data without exposing it directly, via synthetic dataset generation — positioning TouchBrick at the intersection of data protection and the newer AI security/AI-governance category, rather than as a conventional data loss prevention tool. The company went through Outlier Ventures’ DePIN Base Camp accelerator program, which focuses on decentralized-infrastructure-adjacent startups, suggesting an architecture that may lean on distributed or federated processing rather than a purely centralized SaaS model.

TouchBrick is genuinely early-stage: independent trackers (PitchBook, CB Insights, Tracxn) confirm the company’s existence and general product description, but disclosed funding is limited to a single pre-seed round of roughly $50,000 from two investors, and no named enterprise customers, case studies, or third-party validation of the technology were found in public sources. This profile should be read as covering a very young company whose technology claims are largely unverified outside of its own accelerator and investor materials.
