Unicorn Utility

Cyberhaven is a verifiable 'Unicorn' company (valued at $1B as of April 2025) with over $100M in recent Series D funding and ~230 employees. While the submission text contained lazy generalizations ('everyone', 'most people'), the provided financial data (market cap) and team size were accurate and verifiable. The project demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Evidence of Traction in the enterprise security market, leveraging innovative Data Lineage AI. The score reflects the high value and established success of the business, penalized slightly for the low quality of the descriptive text in the submission.

Description
Every day in the business world, millions of sensitive documents, files, and other data are being exfiltrated because traditional data security products have failed to do their job.\n\nThese data breaches result in stolen IP, damaged brands, loss of competitiveness, and significant financial penalties. Cyberhaven will help organizations secure all of the data they must protect in order to compete and thrive, not just the data that is regulated by compliance mandates. It’s one big hairy problem and we are up to the challenge.
