Valarian raised $50m to help governments use US cloud without losing control of it

Valarian, a London startup co-founded by a former Palantir executive, raised $50 million to provide software that allows governments and companies to use US cloud services while retaining control over their data, addressing concerns raised by the US CLOUD Act. Their product, ACRA, acts as a secure layer controlling data access and transfer, responding to recent geopolitical events that highlighted risks of US authorities accessing foreign data.
