KWKR advised Digital Ocean Ventures Starter on its investment in 1Security
KWKR advised the Digital Ocean Ventures Starter fund on another investment transaction, this time in 1Security – a company developing a platform that secures Microsoft 365 collaboration environments in the context of implementing artificial intelligence tools.
The funds raised will be allocated to the creation and commercialization of a platform designed to protect Microsoft 365 environments from the risk of data leaks during the deployment of AI solutions.
The KWKR team provided comprehensive legal support, from due diligence, through drafting the agreement, to final negotiations.
The KWKR team members involved in the transaction were: senior associate Paweł Machowski (corporate), associates Dominik Korybalski (corporate), Kamil Stengert (corporate), Anna Bartosiak (compliance), and Joanna Kik (TMT).
1Security addresses a critical challenge of the AI era – the permissions sprawl within Microsoft 365. The platform builds an intelligent security layer that provides a real-time permissions map, automatic access correction, and AI-powered detection of sensitive data. This solution protects organizations from excessive access of AI tools such as Copilot to sensitive corporate data.
The firm cooperated with the company’s and founders’ legal advisors – LLW law firm and legal counsel Jędrzej Szymczyk.
This transaction marks the second investment of the Digital Ocean Ventures Starter fund, following its earlier support for Flathub, the company behind the Gaius-Lex project. Both investments are in line with the fund’s strategy of supporting innovative Polish startups developing AI-driven solutions for various sectors of the economy.
