# We're a different kind of cloud... We believe any app, any company, or any agent should be able to interact privately and deterministically with whatever (or whoever) it needs. ## Companies we've helped to build Packet, Zscaler, StackPath, SoftLayer, Voxel, Highwinds ## The founding insight The concepts that underpin the modern internet are powerful. But even the most ambitious cloud and AI-native teams lack the ability to compete at scale. It's too obscure, too analog, too cost-prohibitive. We're here to change that. We exist to upgrade the internet with an open, neutral, global network cloud. Built for AI and 100% focused on providers. ## Backed by a diverse group of investors Amplify Ventures, Cervin Ventures, Charles River Ventures, Encoded Ventures, ex/ante, Step Function, Vine Ventures ## Get to know the humans behind Datum We are infrastructure, open source software, and design nerds who love building for the future.

But beyond the racks, switches and pipes, there's a whole lot more to building a network than just the plumbing. We believe real connectivity happens outside of the hardware.
