Diskover, a data intelligence platform focused on unstructured data, said on Tuesday it has raised $7.5 million in a seed funding round and acquired CloudSoda, a move aimed at expanding its capabilities in enterprise AI and hybrid data environments.
The seed round was led by Park Partners and included investments from Snowflake Ventures, NetApp, and early-stage venture fund The Hive. The capital will be used to grow engineering resources and accelerate go-to-market expansion, the company said in a statement.
Based in the United States, Diskover helps enterprises identify, classify, and index large volumes of unstructured data—including documents, audio, video, and PDFs—across hybrid storage environments. The technology integrates with enterprise authentication systems to ensure security and compliance, and is used to optimize data pipelines for artificial intelligence applications.
The company serves over 130 enterprise customers in sectors such as media and entertainment, life sciences, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing. It also has an existing commercial relationship with Dell Technologies.
As part of its expansion strategy, Diskover acquired data orchestration platform CloudSoda to enhance usability and natural language AI capabilities. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
“Our respective strengths are mutually reinforcing,” said Diskover CEO Will Hall. “We had scale; they had simplicity. Together, we now offer a highly intuitive and enterprise-ready unstructured data platform.”
The company also announced strategic partnerships with Snowflake and NetApp, both of which have also invested in the business. Snowflake will offer Diskover on its Snowflake Marketplace, and the two firms are collaborating to integrate Diskover with Snowflake’s Openflow data integration framework. This aims to bridge the gap between on-premises data stores and cloud-based analytics environments.
“Enterprises can’t unlock the full value of AI without knowing what unstructured data they have and how to use it,” said Harsha Kapre, director at Snowflake Ventures. “Our partnership with Diskover helps bring clarity and operational value to exabyte-scale unstructured data.”
The collaboration with NetApp will see Diskover incorporated into NetApp’s Intelligent Data Infrastructure pipeline, allowing customers to leverage data from edge devices to cloud systems. According to NetApp, the integration will support cyber resiliency, AI readiness, and storage efficiency.
“Data classification is a fundamental step for organizations to discover their unstructured data and prioritize where to focus,” said Gagan Gulati, SVP and GM of Data Services at NetApp.
Unstructured data accounts for more than 80% of all enterprise data, yet most organizations lack tools to effectively manage or analyze it. Diskover’s platform continuously scans billions of files, indexes metadata, and provides users with real-time visibility and governance capabilities. This helps businesses improve operational efficiency and develop more accurate AI models.
“AI models are only as good as the data that feeds them,” said Ben Woo, principal analyst at Neuralytix. “Diskover helps enterprises identify high-quality, relevant data to improve decision-making and application performance.”
The investment aligns with a broader industry trend toward AI-first data strategies, which increasingly depend on full-spectrum data visibility. Kamesh Raghavendra, general partner at The Hive, said the company’s ability to connect unstructured data with cloud data warehouses addresses a critical barrier in enterprise AI adoption.
“Cloud data warehouses have become the new hub for AI,” he said. “But exabytes of rich unstructured data remain out of reach. Diskover becomes the super-connector bringing AI context from them to cloud platforms.”
Josh Mason, CTO of data governance firm RecordPoint, said Diskover’s latest developments could unlock new value for customers managing complex information environments. “These moves allow Diskover to more deeply integrate with customers’ most strategic data platforms,” he said.
With the addition of CloudSoda’s orchestration tools and Snowflake and NetApp’s infrastructure reach, Diskover aims to position itself at the center of enterprise AI enablement. The company said it expects future use cases to extend beyond governance and analytics into automation, predictive modeling, and AI-assisted decision support.
“We’ve turned what used to be a dark, opaque data swamp into a structured, searchable, actionable resource,” Hall said.
