Santa Clara CA security platform as a service; raised $26M+; drop-in security APIs enabling developers to add auth, secrets, audit, and threat intel to apps.
Pangea is a security platform as a service company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California. The company was founded by Oliver Friedrichs, Sourabh Satish, Oshri Cohen, and Steve Betten — veterans of Phantom Cyber (acquired by Splunk), Splunk, and Cisco — to make security capabilities available to developers as simple, consumable APIs. Just as Stripe made payments accessible via an API without deep payments engineering expertise, Pangea aims to provide authentication, authorization, secrets management, audit logging, threat intelligence, and other security services as composable API building blocks that developers can integrate into applications without becoming security experts.\n\nPangea raised $26 million in seed and Series A funding from investors including Ballistic Ventures, Okta Ventures, and RaymondJames Ventures. Its platform offers more than 20 security services including Secure Audit Log (tamper-evident audit logging), AuthN (authentication), AuthZ (authorization), Vault (secrets management), Embargo (IP-based access restrictions), File Intel (malware file scanning), URL Intel (phishing URL detection), and IP Intel (threat intelligence lookups). Each service is available as a single API endpoint that returns structured responses, integrating into any programming language or framework.\n\nPangea targets developers building applications who need security features but do not have a dedicated security team or the budget to integrate multiple point security vendors. By providing pre-built, compliance-ready security services as APIs, Pangea reduces the time from zero to production-grade security from months to days. The platform is particularly well-suited for startups, SaaS companies, and internal application development teams building data-sensitive applications that need to meet SOC 2, HIPAA, or other compliance requirements.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
