The Secure Knowledge Layer Enterprise AI Needs
Atolio was founded by the team that built search infrastructure at Splunk and kept PagerDuty running for some of the world's largest internet services. We believed enterprise knowledge deserved the same rigor.
By the Numbers
Today we're backed by $24M in funding and trusted by organizations that can't afford to get security infrastructure wrong, from the U.S. Air Force to the Fortune 500.

762 CIOs and CTOs Told Us What to Build. So We Did.
Before we wrote a line of code, we spent months talking with 762 CIOs and CTOs about why enterprise search kept failing them. Every conversation led back to the same wall: a tool that touches all of a company's knowledge has to stay under that company's control. Most enterprise search platforms ask you to trust a promise that your data won't be misused. We built Atolio self-hosted from day one, so the answer to “does the vendor see our data?” is always “Never.”
Evolving from Self-Hosted Enterprise Search to AI Knowledge Infrastructure
Atolio started as self-hosted enterprise search. Now, it’s becoming the knowledge layer built underneath enterprise AI agents. This means employees and AI agents across regulated industries can find answers without exposing anything the source system was built to protect.
In practice, that means retrieval that never leaves your perimeter, permission enforcement built into the search index itself, and the flexibility to run any model – hosted or self-hosted – against that data. It's why Atolio looks less like a SaaS search bar and more like infrastructure that regulated industries can actually deploy.
Regulated Industries Trust Us With Their Most Sensitive Data
The U.S. Air Force awarded Atolio a $1.25 million contract to advance AI-powered search and organizational intelligence for the branch. IBM invested in Atolio to help connect knowledge across complex, siloed organizations. Cribl deploys Atolio inside its own AWS environment for an added layer of protection and full control over its data. When the cost of a mistake is a breach of national security or regulatory trust, organizations choose the architecture that keeps data exactly where it belongs: in their control.

What Industry Leaders Are Saying
A sampling of what executives are saying about how Atolio is making an impact on their organizations.
"Being able to run Atolio within our own AWS environment provides us with an extra layer of protection and allows us to operate with complete peace of mind."

"At The Adaptavist Group, experimentation is in our DNA, so limiting the choice of apps our people can use was never going to be an option. Instead, we wanted to find a way to connect the valuable knowledge across all of our apps, allowing people to search and find everything they need quickly and easily."
Jon Mort
CTO, The Adaptavist Group
"Atolio is the first good enterprise search tool I've seen, among dozens of failed attempts over two decades. By taking a fresh approach using the collaborative graph inside organizations, Atolio is finally doing for enterprise search what Google did for the web: finding what you want."
Aaron Rankin
CTO, Sprout Social
"In order to make sense of the information that is within a fast-growing company, there are two main elements that must be looked at together: the graph of information/knowledge itself and the graph of the organization that interacted with that information over time. This is exactly what Atolio is working on—providing a system where these two graphs can be navigated one in relation to the other in order to make information at work more discoverable."

Investors Who Understand Security Bet Big on Atolio’s Architecture
Translink Capital led our most recent funding round, backed by a need no other vendor could meet. Translink found us after a major financial institution asked them to find an enterprise search platform that could run entirely inside its own private cloud. Atolio was the only one that could. Prior investors Bloomberg Beta and ten founders who've built and scaled their own unicorns were already on our cap table, and this round added IBM and Acorn Pacific Ventures to help us bring secure search to enterprises around the world.
Reaching Complex Organizations Using the Partners They Trust
No single vendor can reach every corner of a complex organization. So, Atolio partners with the technology providers, resellers, and global system integrators enterprises already rely on. IBM, ServiceNow, Carahsoft, and TD SYNNEX help bring secure search into public sector, defense, and Fortune 500 environments. Technology partners extend what the platform can do; channel and systems-integrator partners extend where it can go.

Building the Foundation Every Enterprise Agent Will Run On
Gartner projects the average Fortune 500 will run more than 150,000 AI agents by 2028, up from fewer than fifteen today. And most will inherit whatever access and retrieval their enterprise already has in place. We believe every one of those agents needs a permission-aware knowledge layer underneath it, living inside the same security boundary as the data it indexes.
That's the foundation we've spent years building: a single index across every system a company runs, with both the knowledge layer and the governance layer inside the customer's own perimeter. As the agent era accelerates, we intend to be the layer the rest of the enterprise stack gets built on.
