Use personal data for analytics and ML, safely
We built a system that runs inside companies' data infrastructure and lets analysts and data scientists run analytics and machine learning on personal data without ever seeing it in the clear. Sarus uses differential privacy to protect every data interaction. This removes the need for slow, traditional anonymization and speeds up compliance and engineering work while preserving data value.
We live in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
All three founders are based in Paris, and the team is already here. We have built network and relationships locally, making it practical to keep the company headquartered in Paris.
