New Albany, Ohio, United States
Datanchor, operating under the brand anchormydata.com, is a data security company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Ohio. The company offers a zero-trust, file-level security platform that embeds protection directly into data rather than relying on perimeter-based network defenses, allowing files to remain secure regardless of where or how they are accessed.
Emre Koksal, the company's founder and CEO, launched Datanchor after two years of product development funded by a $1.5M pre-seed round backed by four venture capital firms. By mid-2022 the company had grown to 33 paying customers, approximately 3,300 total paid seats, and an annualized recurring revenue run rate in the low six figures, with Koksal reporting zero customer churn since launch.
Datanchor distributes its product primarily through value-added resellers and managed security service providers, paying perpetual commissions of 30 to 40 percent on licenses sold. The company was closing a $3M convertible note round in June 2022 at an $8M valuation cap, with roughly $250,000 in capacity remaining, bringing total capital raised to approximately $4.5M.
