Apheris is part of Europe's burgeoning enterprise software market, which has produced high-flying startups such as Darktrace and UiPath. Seed investor LocalGlobe led the round alongside Dig Ventures and Pichette. Additional investors include Another.vc, System.One, and angel investors Charles Songhurst, NaturalMotion founder Torsten Reil, and Songkick founder Ian Hogarth.

"Apheris is the solution to enabling new ways to solve the complex problems of our time without sacrificing privacy or security."
