We founded Singulr AI to enable enterprises to operationalize AI at scale, balancing safety and efficiency without compromising either. This is our story.

Two factors have consistently driven my decisions to build startups: an opportunity to tackle a complex enterprise problem and working with a team I respect and trust. The onset of Generative AI in enterprises and another opportunity to get the band back together - has led to the creation of Singulr AI.

Balancing speed with cost and risk

In my conversations with enterprise leaders across IT, Security, and Risk departments, one thing has become clear: companies are facing mounting friction trying to leverage the immense potential of Generative AI. The very technology that promises to revolutionize industries is often shackled by the competing priorities of speed, safety, and efficiency. This tension is creating a critical gap and missed opportunities in the enterprise landscape.

On the one hand, leaders prioritizing speed allow AI adoption to move at the pace of demand but often remain unaware of the significant risks creeping into their organizations. Data leaks, ungoverned AI use, and a lack of visibility are already creating cracks in their enterprise foundations.

On the other hand, leaders focused on safety are resorting to overly blunt measures—blocking necessary AI entirely due to the absence of enterprise-grade visibility and granular controls, stifling innovation. With the emergence of agentic AI—capable of autonomous decisions and actions—these challenges grow even more complex, as such systems amplify both the promise and risks, necessitating stronger enterprise controls to manage potential ungoverned actions and disruptions.

Operational transformation - AI at Scale

Enterprises are not ready for the threats they don’t see. They blocked DeepSeek when it made headlines, but what about the thousands of lesser known AI tools and models that employees use daily? These are the mini DeepSeeks. Their business risks are just as real.

The truth is that adopting AI is not merely a security challenge—it is an operational one. Without the right systems, processes, and visibility in place, organizations are forced to make impossible trade-offs. This is why we founded Singulr AI: to enable enterprises to operationalize AI at scale, balancing safety and efficiency without compromising either.

Achieving this requires a deep understanding of the intricate challenges enterprises face in adopting a new technology, and a team with the proven ability to build solutions to help navigate those complexities. I am fortunate to be surrounded by a group of extraordinary individuals—a team I trust entirely. These people have repeatedly solved some of the most challenging enterprise problems, delivering solutions with the elegance and simplicity of consumer-grade experiences.

Generative AI holds the potential to unlock unprecedented value, but only if organizations can adopt it securely and efficiently.

Now with Singulr, no enterprise has to choose between innovation and safety, between speed and control. They can have it all.
