Nymiz, a Spanish privacy-tech startup that builds AI-based software to automatically detect, anonymize, and pseudonymize personal data in documents and databases, has raised €2 mn in a new funding round led by TIN Capital, with participation from existing investors Swanlaab Venture Factory, Auriga Cyber Ventures, SWG Cyber & Defense Fund, and CDTI.
The financing follows Nymiz’s seed round completed in 2024 and marks another step in its effort to position privacy as a foundational layer of modern data infrastructure rather than a regulatory afterthought.
The company plans to use the capital to accelerate development of its anonymisation platform and to prepare for international expansion, with entry into the US market targeted for 2026.
Founded in 2020 by Óscar Villanueva, Nymiz focuses on embedding anonymisation and pseudonymisation directly into enterprise data architectures. Its platform applies AI-driven techniques to allow organisations to work with sensitive data while maintaining compliance with data protection regimes and internal governance standards.
The approach reframes privacy as an operational enabler. Nymiz positions this as Privacy as Infrastructure, a model built for scale rather than audit cycles.
By integrating protection at the data layer, organisations can run analytics, train AI models, and modernise workflows without exposing identifiable information or relying on manual controls layered on after the fact.
The new funding will support consolidation across key European markets and continued growth toward the US. Nymiz targets sectors where data sensitivity, regulation, and innovation collide, including legal services, financial institutions, healthcare, technology, and public administration.
The company says demand in those sectors continues to rise as AI adoption accelerates and regulatory scrutiny tightens.
Nymiz now serves more than 70 enterprise clients, a figure the company expects to surpass as deployments broaden. Management points to real-world usage across complex environments as validation of the platform’s relevance beyond compliance-driven use cases.
Villanueva said the round is focused on strengthening the operational base of the platform and preparing for wider international visibility.
He said backing from TIN Capital and existing investors positions the company to take its infrastructure-led view of privacy beyond Europe.
TIN Capital partner Bart Houlleberghs said Nymiz combines a focused team, product-market fit, and global ambition. He said the investment reflects the fund’s strategy of supporting European cybersecurity and privacy firms with potential to scale internationally.
According to Beinsure analysts, privacy technology is shifting from a regulatory support function to a core component of enterprise architecture.
Vendors able to integrate protection directly into data flows, rather than bolt it on, are increasingly well placed as organisations balance AI-driven growth with regulatory exposure.
Nymiz plans to continue expanding engineering and commercial teams across Europe while preparing its US market entry. The company says its objective remains consistent: make privacy an embedded feature of how data moves, not a barrier to using it.
