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

Valarian, a London-based startup co-founded by a former Palantir executive, raised $50 million to provide software that allows governments and businesses to use American cloud and AI services while maintaining control over their data, addressing concerns raised by the US CLOUD Act. Their product, ACRA, acts as a protective layer managing data access and sovereignty on US infrastructure. Recent geopolitical events have heightened the urgency for such solutions, prompting interest from UK leaders.
