Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked with some of the most transformative companies in data and security, from founding FireEye to partnering with Ruckus, Cohesity, and Shape Security. Each of these companies emerged at a time of fundamental change, helping enterprises adapt to new threats and new architectures. If there’s one constant in this space, it’s that each wave of innovation changes the stakes.
We’re now entering another pivotal moment. Generative and agentic AI are rapidly becoming embedded in enterprise workflows, and they’re fundamentally changing how data is accessed, interpreted, and shared. But, most existing governance, compliance, and security tools were never designed for this kind of environment. They weren’t built to handle AI agents making autonomous decisions, or data moving fluidly across models, pipelines, SaaS tools, and clouds. The result is a dangerous mismatch between how data is actually used and how it’s governed.
That’s why Wing is leading the Series A in Theom.
Theom is the first platform I’ve seen that delivers truly nuanced, usage-based control over the enterprise data estate, the kind of control required to safely and responsibly unlock proprietary data for AI applications. Rather than securing infrastructure or access points alone, Theom focuses on the data itself: who’s using it, how it’s being used, and whether that usage aligns with internal policy and external regulation. This is exactly the shift security and governance must make in an AI-native world.
It’s not just technically sophisticated; it’s operationally usable. Theom gives enterprise teams the context, automation, and visibility they need to act decisively without slowing down innovation.
What gives me the greatest confidence, though, is the founder behind the product. Navindra Yadav is building the right solution for this new reality. His approach is grounded in deep technical insight and shaped by a clear understanding of how enterprise systems and teams operate. His clarity of vision and focus on execution are rare and deeply impressive.
At Wing, we invest in companies that are not just adapting to the future: they’re defining it. Theom has the potential to become the central platform for data security and governance in the AI era. We’re proud to be backing Navindra and the team on this journey.
