K2view is an enterprise data company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Yokneam, Israel, with US operations in Texas.

The approach powers data integration, test data management, data masking, synthetic data generation and, increasingly, AI-ready data pipelines that ground large language models and AI agents. K2view serves large enterprises in telecom, banking, healthcare, insurance and retail, including AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone and BBVA, and has raised roughly $43 million in funding.
