The Growth of Securiti AI and Schroders’ Early Bet

Schroders first invested indirectly in Securiti AI in 2019, before doubling down with a direct investment in 2023 alongside other Schroders Capital funds. The trust’s valuation of its Securiti stake has soared from £3.6 million in June to about £7.7 million ($10.25 million) now — more than doubling in just a few months.

Though further deal details remain undisclosed until closing, the acquisition underscores the escalating demand for AI-driven data privacy and compliance solutions as digital ecosystems expand globally.

Veeam’s Billion-Dollar Data Push

Veeam, backed by Insight Partners, has been aggressively expanding its cloud and AI capabilities. Insight acquired Veeam in 2020 for $5 billion and later sold a $2 billion minority stake in 2024, valuing Veeam at $15 billion.

With the acquisition of Securiti AI, Veeam positions itself as a dominant force in data backup, governance, and AI automation, strengthening its grip on the fast-evolving data intelligence market.
