@dimakhanarin Massive congrats!!

The companies that win the decade will be the ones that already have their own data in a usable state.

and most do not.

29% of cloud spend was waste in 2026.

Your billing dashboard shows the total. It does not show which 29%.

Victor Garcia (FinOps Weekly) is walking through what billing data misses, live. Sept 23, 11am ET.

@techgirl1908 We love to see it!

The most valuable thing a large company owns is the data it can't get to.

@OfirEhrlich on why mapping and classifying it first is what lets you switch between every tool and still know it's safe.

[Eon.io @Eon_io_]

You already paid to protect the data. The next step is making sure your agents can use it without creating a second (and third) copy of everything.

[Eon.io @Eon_io_]

Companies moved to the cloud because it was economical and trendy.

Neither reason required anyone to know where a given document physically sits, which is why most companies can't answer that today.

Classification is the step that answers it.

[Eon.io @Eon_io_]

Most “training data” is clean, synthetic, or scraped. Real company data is messy, connected, and expensive to recreate.

[No Priors @NoPriorsPod]

What happens when every employee becomes a builder without understanding security, compliance, or where company data goes?

You end up with untracked agents triggering other agents on live enterprise data.

@OfirEhrlich and Gonen Stein of @Eon_io_ join @eladgil on No Priors to discuss the rapid rise of shadow AI, non-human identities, and how to protect enterprise data.

[Eon.io @Eon_io_]

Ask a data team how the lake actually gets filled and somebody eventually admits it's tens of thousands of pipelines.

Each one built by hand, each one now somebody's job to keep alive.

[Eon.io @Eon_io_]

Backup software should be boring. Excitement usually means something terrible happened to someone.

[Eon.io @Eon_io_]

Large companies already own the differentiator.

Getting to it means asking eight business units for data they have reasons to withhold, which is why most of it stays locked.

Classification is what removes the reason.

[Claire Zau @clairejyz]

For 30 years, nobody really cared about backup. It was IT plumbing - a compliance checkbox, something you set up and never touched again. The last place you'd expect a founder to go in 2024, at the peak of the AI boom.

Which is exactly when @OfirEhrlich - who sold CloudEndure to Amazon - decided to start @Eon_io_inc.

Because it turns out backup is one of the most important surfaces in enterprise AI. Every version of every record a company has ever created sits there, and it's locked in the archive nobody wanted to own.

He joined us on Lightwork to explain what Eon is building:
🚀 His path as a 4x founder and why he’s building with his best friends (including a co-founder of 26 years he avoided working with until the co-founder's mom overruled them both)
🖥️ Why "the cloud is just someone else's computer" - and who's actually on the hook when things go wrong
💸 The 10-30% of billion-dollar cloud bills that nobody inside the enterprise is even accountable for
🗄️ Why retrieving one 5 year old record can take a 30 person SWAT team - and why some enterprises have teams of hundreds doing only this
🤖 How Eon built a backup product and kept getting forwarded to the AI team
🔒 The real blocker on enterprise AI: owners scared of what a model might surface once it can query their data

@OfirEhrlich Data is your greatest moat!

[Eon.io @Eon_io_]

@OfirEhrlich We agree!
