Building @evervault — flexible payments security.

[Shane Curran @arcurn]

Today, we’re excited to announce @Evervault's $25M Series B, led by Ribbit Capital with continued support from @sequoia, @IndexVentures, @kleinerperkins, and @nextplayVC.

This round comes at a time when sensitive data exchange on the web is going parabolic. Since 2019, we’ve been focused on building durable infrastructure for engineering teams to collect, process, share, and enrich sensitive data -- while keeping it encrypted at all times.

We thought we were making good progress in encrypting the web, helping customers like @tryramp, @Rippling, @finix, @TheOverwolf, @Uniswap, @CarTrawler, and hundreds of others secure more than $5bn/year in payment flows and 100m+ unique tokens per month. But the past year has shown that our enemy -- plaintext data -- is getting stronger and more pervasive.

Our vision is to build the clearinghouse for sensitive data, helping companies exchange sensitive data in a secure and encrypted way. This round helps us encrypt more of the web by further refining our developer experience, building deeper integrations with trusted third-parties, and increasing the value we can offer our customers for more data types.

First and foremost, thank you to our customers. You trusted Evervault to sit directly in the flow of your most sensitive data (payments, identity, financial information, and more) and that trust is not something we take lightly. Your feedback, your requirements, and the problems you bring to us every day are what shape the product and push us forward.

Thank you to the Evervault team. What you’ve built is genuinely special: infrastructure that lets developers process sensitive data without ever having to see it in plaintext. The pace, craft, care, and ambition you bring to work every day are what makes this company what it is.

And thank you to our new investors for believing in the vision of making security architectural rather than procedural. We’re grateful to have partners who understand both the scale of the problem and the opportunity ahead.

The internet still assumes that sensitive data must exist in plaintext somewhere. We’re building the infrastructure to change that.

Onwards!

@HarryStebbings Getting to spend time with people like @Joshuabrowder and being part of WhatsApp groups with extremely talented people working on the most batshit crazy (in a good way) projects/companies!

Starcloud just raised $170,000,000 at a $1.1 billion valuation led by Benchmark & EQT because investors are finally realising there is only one solution to the AI energy crisis.

Fortuitously for the 5th Episode of Forecast 2050 I sat down with my friend, @Starcloud_ CEO @PhilipJohnston to discuss how this future plays out.

I wrote the biggest check out of Nebular in my first year of the firm back in December 2023 to lead Starcloud's pre-seed. It’s been quite the ride since then. @ezrafeilden & @AdiOltean also the heros and visionaries creating this category of space data centres.

On the Forecast we speak about Philip’s ambitions - and his greatest concerns - for the next 25 years.
We discuss:

Why the Space GPU Skeptics are Wrong
The 2050 Space Economy: Asteroid Mining, Moon Resorts, and Mars as the Next America
How Elon’s @Tesla_Optimus Will Colonize the Universe
The Hard Problem of Consciousness is Crackable
Avoiding a Calamitous Event in the Near Future

Chapters:
00:00 Intro
00:59 Why the Space GPU Skeptics are Wrong
03:12 Elon Will Bring Launch Costs Down with Starship
06:50 The 2050 Space Economy: Moon Hotels, Asteroid Mining & Manufacturing
16:37 The 2050 Martian Colony: A Stepping Stone for Exploring the Universe
26:32 The Kardashev Scale of Civilization
28:44 We Live in a Simulation: The Fermi Paradox & The Great Filter
34:52 Cracking the Hard Problem of Consciousness
37:46 There is a Calamitous Event Waiting for Us
39:04 Mars is the Next America

Thanks to @wavebyvento, @vento_ventures, and @dwarkesh_sp for permission to use some snippets for this interview! + big big ups to some of the gang that invested on the journey early like @pmoe, @deckelly, @arcurn, @Varungupta, @caffeinatedcap, @beller, @ncsh @jamiecuffe - long Starcloud 🙏

[Brody Klapko @brody_evervault]

Nice addition from @joshpensky today: new enum format in our API docs + quick-copy buttons. Functional but also very satisfying to click 💜 #evervault #devex #devexp

@thomasauros @evervault This why you asked to increase the design budget to $1m/mo in @tryramp?

Tried to get @evervault engineers to use @figjam. They put it on the office TV and used physical stickies instead 🤦

We've just moved in to our New York office. 💜

So excited to announce @evervault’s $25M Series B!

Data security is more important now than ever before. We’re building the infrastructure so companies never have to handle sensitive data again.

[JSC @JSCCapital]

Data volumes & velocity continue to grow exponentially moving much faster than compliance ever will but most businesses don't even know where their sensitive data lives, how it's being used, and who has access to it.

@arcurn & the @evervault team are building the clearinghouse for sensitive data.

[Shane Curran @arcurn]

@genrih99999 @RibbitCapital @ribbita2012 @RibbitaStore @ribbita2025 Agreed!

[Thomas Cullen @thomasauros]

So happy to finally release the new @evervault docs!

Some of my favourite highlights:
- Inline SVG illustrations that use CSS variables to support dark mode.
- 3D Icons that fallback to inline SVGs on mobile.
- Dynamic content based on your selected client/server language.

@sytaylor I guess the protocol itself is open source, but you're still beholden to OpenAI (or insert-LLM-here) to build the integration with that particular processor, even if they're spec-compliant
