## Executive Summary

Secuvy sells software that uses unsupervised machine learning, which finds patterns without labeled examples, to locate and classify an enterprise's sensitive data and to filter what feeds its AI systems. It competes broadly with data discovery and classification vendors. Almost everything about Secuvy's scale is undisclosed or self-reported: no dollar figure on the 2023 round from Dell Technologies Capital and WestWave Capital, a self-claimed Fortune 1000 reach across 45 countries, and no customer named in the cited record. What is verifiable is the resume of Mike Seashols, the CEO, Oracle's inaugural sales vice president and later CEO of GoldenGate Software, which Oracle acquired. Until Secuvy names customers or discloses numbers, that resume is the firmest fact on record.
