Integral Privacy Technologies
Integral is a privacy engineering company that turns sensitive real-world data - starting with HIPAA-regulated healthcare records - into compliant, AI-ready datasets. Founded in 2022 by Shubh Sinha and John Kuhn, it pairs automated de-identification and continuous risk assessment with embedded statisticians and privacy engineers (its Forward Deployed Privacy Services) so enterprises and AI labs can use regulated data quickly without violating privacy law. The company positions itself as an independent privacy layer for the real-world data economy and has raised roughly $24.9M to date, including an $18M Series A closed in July 2026.
Shubh Sinha
Shubh Sinha is the co-founder and CEO of Integral Privacy Technologies, a San Francisco company that certifies, transforms, and activates privacy-regulated data (HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA) for healthcare and other regulated industries. Integral compresses compliance workflows that once took months into hours. Before Integral, Sinha led regulated-data product work at LiveRamp. He is a Purdue-trained computer engineer, an angel investor, and a Forbes Technology Council member. In July 2026 the company raised its Series A, bringing total funding to about $25M.
Jad Boutros
Jad Boutros is the co-founder and CEO of TerraTrue, a San Francisco privacy-and-security automation company he started in 2018 with former Snap general counsel Chris Handman. Before building software to make privacy reviews painless, Boutros spent nine years on Google's information security team leading security for its social products, then became Snap's first Chief Security Officer, where he and Handman ran thousands of privacy reviews a year out of a Google spreadsheet that ballooned past 100 tabs. TerraTrue is the product that spreadsheet should have been: a single source of truth that bakes privacy-by-design into the software development lifecycle.
Transcend
Transcend is the compliance layer for customer data. Founded by two Harvard students who couldn't get their own data back from the apps they used, the company builds privacy and AI-governance infrastructure that automates data mapping, data subject requests, consent management, and oversight of data flowing in and out of large language models. Its software powers modern data rights for more than 1.2 billion people across Fortune 100 brands and category leaders.
Ben Brook
Ben Brook is the co-founder and CEO of Transcend, the data-privacy infrastructure company he started in 2017 with Harvard classmate Mike Farrell. He flew to San Francisco the day after graduation to build software that lets the world's largest companies find, delete, and control personal data at machine speed. Under his lead Transcend has delivered actionable data rights to over a billion people and raised nearly $90M, including a $40M Series B in 2024. A Toronto-born, award-winning filmmaker turned privacy engineer, Brook argues that privacy only works when it is encoded directly into the systems that touch personal data.
