Yakimbi is a startup that provides a fully encrypted online and mobile file storage and collaboration solution. Founded in 2009 by Andrew Diamond, the company was established to address the security concerns associated with existing free and paid solutions. Recognizing the risks of storing large amounts of sensitive personal and corporate data on mobile devices, Diamond aimed to create a more secure platform.
Yakimbi encrypts all files by default, setting itself apart in the industry. The company caters to organizations that require data to be stored within their legal jurisdiction or network while still benefiting from mobility and collaboration features. Aiming to provide a secure mobile collaboration platform via a private cloud, Yakimbi operates in the Computing, Cyber Security, and Internet industries.
The company received a $600.00K Seed Round investment on January 01, 2011. Despite not having the headquarters information and the identity of the investor available, this investment reflects the confidence in Yakimbi's potential to address the growing concerns around data security and collaboration. With an increasing importance placed on data privacy, Yakimbi's focus on encryption and secure collaboration positions it well in the market.
