Kertos is the first true data privacy and compliance automation product in Europe, leading the next  generation of European privacy technology. Through its no-code system integrations and automated  privacy workflows, Kertos closes the gap between data privacy regulation and its operational  execution. The Kertos Privacy OS puts privacy operations first, enabling cross-functional teams to  focus on their business again while embracing privacy rights. 

Kertos turns privacy regulations into effortless compliance. No more headaches, no more  uncertainties, no more risks. Executing regulatory demands and automating privacy operations was  never this easy. 

Kertos is thrilled to announce their 4 million EUR seed round led by Redstone/VR Venturesfrom Berlin  with the participation of Pi Labs (London), seed + speed ventures (Berlin) while existing investors 10x Founders, xdeck, and Superlyst double down on their initial investments only 10 months after the pre seed round. 

"We are excited to have again gained such strong partners in this financing round," said Kilian Schmidt,  CEO of Kertos. "The participation of Redstone, seed + speed Ventures, Pi Labs, and all existing investors  shows the strong execution of our team and the quick adoption to address the operational needs of  existing customers such as Gorillas, McMakler, or Wellster Healthtech. With these additional funds,  we will expand our product range, introduce AI-driven compliance automation, and will provide our  solutions to a wider range of customers." 

"We are impressed by the technical excellence and vision of the Kertos team and are delighted to be  a part of their growth story," said Philipp Werner, Redstone/VR Ventures. "Through its no-code  solution, Kertos secures a seamless execution of global privacy & compliance regulations and  implement processes with minimal personnel involvement. In an ever-increasing digital economy, for  many organizations processing (personal) client data becomes the operational backbone and,  therefore, a compliant and efficient data storage/management is crucial." 

„The built world is undergoing a digital transformation with more and more software applications  being implemented across major real estate groups globally. As the industry crosses the chasm  between ‘analog’ and ‘digital’, it is dealing with a meteoric rise in the volume of data being processed,  elevating the importance of data privacy in the software systems deployed.  

“Privacy is a defining social, governance and corporate issue of our time. With Kertos’ strong track  record of navigating these challenges, we are confident in the team’s potential to contribute to greater  business resilience, improving how businesses operate in today’s regulatory landscape,” said Faisal  Butt, Founder and Managing Partner, Pi Labs.

The additional funds enable Kertos to invest in the further development of their technology platform,  expand their product line, and continue to grow their customer base. Additionally, Kertos is entering  into new partnerships and collaborations in the coming months to further establish their influence in  the industry.
